Thank you for the welcome and we'll done for the hour walk. I've slaked a little today as I'm away from my home and usual route. Back to my home tomorrow and can't wait to walk along the beach once again with my wrist weights.
It's frustrating for sure, our bodies work in mysterious ways especially where Blood sugar levels are concerned. I can fall off the diet wagon for a couple of days and see no increase in levels, the next 2 days being a saint expecting low levels leave me disappointed. I'm sure exercise leading to fitness and weight loss will have a good effect on the average levels over time.
I'm not Type 2 (though my Dad was), but as I understand it, most Type 2s exhibit insulin resistance, and there are only two things that reduce insulin resistance -cardio and resistance training. You are doing a ton of walking now with ease. Instead of increasing the walking (who has the actual time to walk a marathon every day?), maybe your next step is to do a bit of resistance training twice a week. That means something that will build a bit of muscle. One reason that helps is that if you have more muscle, it acts as a 'sink' for blood glucose, and tends to 'snatch' it from your blood as you sleep. That can be a bit dangerous for us T1s (we can hypo in our sleep). But it could help you with FBG.
You could try bodyweight exercises to start so no need for equipment. Press ups (try on your knees first not a full one), squats, triceps dips, planks (so many different types to try), leg lifts etc. I think you'll find lots of suggestions on the net.
