Hi there. Once again I am trying to find out what people think and have experienced. I also think it might help others in the future.
I found whenever I am confused this forum provides much more practical real world experience than a lot of the papers on the net.
So I managed to consume something I should of known better - I bought some low carb bread but it had wheat in and my BG shot of like a space shuttle. Climbed 4mmol within 1h 45mins and showed no sign of returning to earth. So I went for a good 30min semi-power walk. And the results were excellent. By time I had sat down and sorted myself out I had lost 3mmol and by this time 2hours had well past so the BG would of started to naturally decline as well I think.
But it started to make me wonder about insulin resistance. I was wondering why the body becomes more able to use glucose when you do moderate exercise. What unlocks and allows the insulin you have to be able to get the BG absorbed I don't really understand that bit if I am being perfectly honest.
Don't get me wrong - delighted to have found something to help a little in my moments of need!
