T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

[Deleted member 371625]

Just a quick question. If you didn't exercise how much higher do you anticipate your BS would be? You have a great diet and moderate amount of carbs. Thanks.

In the short term there is no change in BS values (I have measured this when taking a week off).
In general, exercise doesn't lower BS, hence the saying of not being able to outrun a bad diet.
Exercise does, however, improve the metabolism, lowering blood pressure and resting heart rate (99/60 and 45 for me), improving biomarkers generally. If your problem is metabolic syndrome / insulin resistance you are often able to fully reverse the condition through exercise and weight loss.
This is most likely if you are diagnosed before any symptoms of diabetes are apparent. Body fat is preventing the metabolism (specifically insulin) from working correctly and will eventually cause irreversible damage to beta cells in the pancreas (diabetes).
However, if weight is removed and metabolism is improved via exercise (it doesn't need to be much), before permanent damage is done then the term 'fully cured' is probably accurate. Obviously if permanent damage has been done, the condition is rightly referred to as irreversible and capable only of management through diet and meds.
With luck you will belong in the first group, in which case it is possible that you can return to a normal life eventually.

A physician would say that my BG is well controlled but would never admit that I am fully cured [the fact that GPs receive additional cash for diabetics of course has nothing to do with this], though usual rules of diagnosis have to be suspended for this. There is no test which shows that I have any problem (I had an OTT last October, before test my BG was 4.2, after 2 hours my BG was 5.0 which is excellent even for non diabetics). The reason that I am still regarded as diabetic is because apparently, and I quote 'if you stopped exercising and put on a few stones in weight then the high BG values would possibly come back', which to me is like saying that the leg that I broke 20 years ago isn't cured because I might fall out of a tree again and then it could be broken again.
Sorry to have a whinge, but I just paid a load of cash extra for some travel insurance due to this so am a tad irritated.

WOW @midnightrider what an informative reply. And much appreciated. I read it 3 times to digest it all!!!

It's great to hear exercise improves metabolism BP and heart rate. Your readings reflect an athlete compared to mine! It's something for me to work towards.

I'm not sure if I have a metabolism issue or how bad my IR is. I haven't been able to reverse my condition yet even though I have lost 40lbs and reached my goal weight. I have walked miles but not exercised as such. The only bit of stubborn fat I have left is around my tummy but it's not excessive but I'm sure if I could lose it I may reverse my condition. But I can still control it even if I don't, so I have a plan B! I have my next HBA1C in 6 months so for 2 months I'm going to do a bit of testing food wise. This might tell me how bad my IR is!!! I did have a couple of symptoms before diagnosis ie dry mouth and blurry vision a couple of occasions so I'm not holding out much hope of reversing. I do have a gamiky history of T2. My mum, sister and many cousins to mane just a few. I think this is a massive factor.

Isn't it infuriating that you have to pay additional premiums due to the 'permanent' label. You are fitter than most! And there does seem to be this bigger picture emerging to me too. Monetary gains for Drs and for big medicine companies. I believe the same thing surrounding breakfast cereals and processed foods. Fattening us all up for ultimate monetary gains for endless companies. My DN only yesterday said they are training up the blood nurse to check feet to free her up to take on more diabetic patients as the amount of people effected is ever increasing. It's no surprise when there is so much sugar in everything. Not one cereal i can touch apart from perhaps weetabix as everything is sugar loaded.

Thanks again for taking the time to send me such an informative reply.

Still got good BS result. And a good time was has by all.

 

[Debandez]

4.9 today which makes my day start with a smile. Had such a low reading yesterday before dinner. 3.3 (not on meds so wasn't too worried but only had that reading once before). I was wondering if this was my opportunity to had a slap up chinese and still have reasonable readings after!!!

I had bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast and painted all day with only water to drink so that's probably the reason. That said I've had periods without food before but it hasn't gone that low so who knows!!!

Dinner was a little buffet prepared my my hubby who was worried about my low reading. He also thinks I've lost enough weight now. Im lower now than when we first met 32 years ago!!! But I'm not concerned. 1 more lb and i will have llst 3 stone. And the surprising thing is I have found it quite easy!!!

So for dinner I had mini sausages peanuts celery sticks carrots hummus grapes cheese crustless quiche scotch eggs 2 crackers pate and 2 glasses of Merlot! And very nice it was too.
