[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2195689, member: 160246"] Great question [USER=93162]@lcarter[/USER]. I dug out my old log book where I graphed my glucose levels for the first 8 or 9 weeks on the keto diet, eating 30 - 42 g carbohydrates a day, and I began walking. I do not take any medications for diabetes or any other chronic health conditions. Never have, hopefully never will. In the beginning I could only walk short distances, and I couldn't walk straight. I kind of weaved my way up the gradual rise of our hill. Months would pass of walking daily until I was able to walk 3 miles for the first time. Today, walking 3 miles is easy for me... The first week, toward the end of February 2015 - (Note: I often had to round up or down from mg/dL (US) to [B]mmol/L (UK) [/B]using the "50 Shades of Diabetes" chart here on diabetes.co.uk)...
