Resting heart rate rise

Cardio neuropathy is something that can happen in diabetics, and has a range of symptoms, though only effects a small percentage of diabetics. High resting pulse rate is one of the symptoms, another is non changing heart rate with exercise, or slump in blood pressure with postural changes; but there are lots of things that affect heart rate so don't panic just yet. Monitor for a few weeks and see what happens. And as always, if concerned, see your GP.

If you consult Dr Google he/she says normal resting heart rate is any where between 60 and 100 beats per minute. There is something called "fat burning heart rate" which can be 70% of your MAXIMUM heart rate (so not resting). If you walked 9 miles one day and climbed a mountain the next, that could easily mean you're burning more than you're consuming so quite possibly burning fat for fuel. So 70% of max is going to be higher than resting,
