I thought that’s what the Dr said. Anyway, I haven’t had any letters through with appointments.
I have had hypos for over twenty years- previously they could be bought on by very intense exercise like swimming or cycling.
Is there any study of how RH affects exercise? I assumed it was because exercise increases insulin sensitivity?
Even if I walk a few miles now, my BS drops, it’s like my body runs out of glucose when I exercise.
Exercising, is a bit funny with RH.
I cannot do strenuous exercise without triggering a reaction.
I can walk, and yes it does lower BG levels, not by much, but that is dependent on, and why the fasting test. You, as far as I'm aware, walking should not trigger a reaction., Because it doesn't send your BG levels high enough to do so.
Also, at this time, when you are trying to get your BG levels under control, you may be still having issues with stabilising your BG levels. And energy levels are not dictated by glucose levels. With T2, you can have hyperglycaemia and feel really tired. It is the conversion of the glucose by insulin into energy.
Because I'm in keto, my body doesn't need carbs for glucose for energy levels. Maybe, if you don't hypo during your test, the next step is trying a keto diet.
As a rule of thumb, and had this advice from others. When you have ate, a fifteen minutes walk, fifteen minutes after eating. Has worked for me. At a steady pace.
Always remember, it is the carbs that will trigger the reaction, if you have RH.
Keep asking, keep safe.
