[QUOTE="caroline_92, post: 1621518, member: 126167"] Completely agree that diet is the foundation to good diabetes control and great expression - will remember that! Exercise is also terribly beneficial, if you able to do it, for a range of reasons. Finding any activity you can do is worth persevering with. One thing exercise does is help with reducing insulin resistance by facilitating your cells use the excess blood sugar. Not clear on the mechanism for this without looking it up. When I was first diagnosed and measuring my blood sugars quite obsessively, I had a post meal reading of 11.5. I went out for a 30 min cycle, not a very strenuous one, but it got me moving. When I came back my blood sugar had dropped to 5.7! That did it for me and I now try my hardest to do some activity every single day... [/QUOTE]
