[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2663839, member: 517579"] Hi - I (and I know others) had the opposite experience. I reduced my BG very quickly on 20g/day - took less than four months. Weight loss followed, rather than preceded, BG normalisation. In the four years since, it comes to about 70lbs. I use stevia sweeteners and they have zero impact on my BG. You also need to watch [U]all[/U] sources of carb - as well as sugar. Milk has a fair bit of lactose (a carbohydrate) and four lattes adds up. As the athletes say, "you can't outrun a bad diet". While a three mile walk has a lot of benefits in terms of getting out and about and taking a bit of exercise, it won't of itself change our inability to handle carbs. I looked up on Google what they estimate a three mile walk takes in terms of calories (I don't use calories as dietary measures myself). It's claimed that it's anywhere from 90 to 300 calories, which seems a bit of a wide range to me. Let's be generous and use the 300 figure. At 5kcal per gram of carb, that's what you might expect from 60g of carb used efficiently. Problem is that energy won't all come from eaten carbs (for example, in your lattes) - some will come from dietary fats and proteins and some from body stores. So I'd be wary of making assumptions that the walk somehow "cancels" the carbs. I developed diabetic symptoms at a point where I was playing football twice a week, and a day's cricket at the weekend. Didn't make any difference. [/QUOTE]
