[QUOTE="Japes, post: 1734850, member: 277410"] Mmm... definitely need a snack before walking home. Sports students at my Main Work Place were demanding my walking steps totals to add to the Sports Relief totals. So, I have obligingly been well on target this week, 14, 000 - 15,000 steps in my continuous brisk pace walking every day, 19,000 - 25,000 total steps every day. They've been well impressed, and I've been pleased I'm getting back on track apart from... I've conclusively confirmed I definitely, definitely need a snack before walking more than a mile on the way home! I've been doing three miles in the morning on my usual breakfast of Alpro Plain Yogurt, cream and banana, a morning's work, been nicely on target at lunchtime bloods wise, usual salad/cheese or eggs/nuts/oatcakes/piece of fruit lunch... but keep dropping low on the way home. Today, I thought since I'd had chips and cake for lunch and was 7.5 as I set off, I'd be fine. Was I heck... 2 miles in, hit with a 3.2, which was coaxed back up to 8.4 with 5 dextro followed by a banana, a bit of a bus ride to let it all work, then another mile's walk, and back down to 4.6 before I could blink. Back to a bit of a rethink of fueling for walking! And a good excuse for a gentle evening as I somehow managed to hit all walking targets for the day before the evening meal. (Of course, it could be the insulin ratios as well - will check that out properly on Monday.) [/QUOTE]
