I was just wondering if a lack of physical activity can cause a dramatic increase in your bg...over the last 6 months I’ve managed to get my hb1Ac from 83 to 57 through a mixture of diet and 2000mg of metformin and 40mg of Gliclazide...average daily readings over the last few months have been between 6.1 to 7.3 so have been enjoying some control over my diabetes...this week I went into hospital for a planned operation on my big toe and due to this I have to rest at home keeping weight of this foot and only allowed to walk around for 5 mins every so often...I’m signed off work for the next 6 weeks...so as a result I’m not very active, if at all... I’m now averaging a bg reading around 12.3 and rising even though I’m still taking medication and sticking to a low carb diet...is this lack of activity the cause of the sudden rise ?? Or has the Gliclazide stopped working yet I’ve only been on that for around 4 months?? Any advice much appreciated...
