Sorry, about the recent inflaming about my post, I’ve seen people concern
about my off the wall statement that "I’m starving my self all day".
I don’t starve my self, that fasting period included my sleep time.
Actually, my wife thinks I eat too much, but than she it’s like a bird
naturally.
The good news, last day or two I’m getting good numbers on my BG meter, just
measured (111) after exercise and my morning BG was 165.
Did some exercise late night too. I’m feeling much better now, have more
energy.
Looks like, the lack or too little exercise was my problem, spending too
much time on the evil computer, didn’t help either.
I’ve been doing exercise twice a day the last 3-4 days, including bicycling
and it got my BG down very quick.
I also take up, fishing as a hobby, at least gets me out to the fresh air
for longer period of time.
Thank you all!
Looks like, I need a little head game to get me into this diet, exercise, BG
control discipline.
Nobody helps me, around me.

That’s a scary morning BG!

So you’re dismissing the concerns folks here have had about your eating?
I haven’t seen anyone agree with you that lack of exercise was the
problem.

How about preventing it from going up in the first place?

You’re not helping yourself either if you don’t pay attention to what
folks here are telling you.
You need to check in with your doctor about your numbers. A fasting BG
of 165 is a problem. You need to take a look at when you’re eating and
what you’re eating and your meds levels.
I imagine you’ll just ignore this like you’ve ignored every other piece
of advise you theoretically asked for, but in good conscience I cannot
NOT say it. Take the cotton out of your ears!

I wouldn’t WANT anyone around me "helping" me. They end up thinking they
know better than you, and there’s not many things more annoying than 5
minute experts.
Learn about this disease and learn which foods you can eat by using your
meter (a LOT). And by writing things down so you’re not relying on memory.

glad to hear you are doing better! My wife and I bicycle
3-4 times a week. That really reduces my insulin
requirements. Plus it improves our mood and energizes us.
dave
Yes, that would do it. Back in 98′ I had lot of weight on me, working like
a zombi. I was 225 lb, I’m 5’8". Me and my wife began to bicycle, 3-4 times
regularly per week. We were looking up all kinds of interesting parks, lakes
all over the county, and outside, including the Golden Gate park and others.
Within about 5-6 months I’ve lost over 40 lb without dieting or focusing
on what I eat. From 225lb went to 170lb, I felt very good, so my wife.
I even had plans to go to Hawaii for a bicycle tour, but she didn’t go for
it.
Seems endurance type of exercise is the best.

I think you being hard. 4-5 days ago I had a BG 300, now I’m bouncing
between 170 and 110, I’m very happy for these numbers. I’m sure it will
improve more.

I find all types of exercise is important. Heavy lifting
seems to be a plus but it carried on too long it will
cause glucose to be released and the blood sugar
will rise. Each of us must find our own boundaries.
That is why we have meters.
I must reduce my calories input since I reside in a
wheelchair. But I have moved a lot of sand
in the last few years. Wore out one golf cart.
A five gallon bucket of sand is a stress exercise.
A shovel load of sand at arms length gives a
combined exercise. Each to his own
but do exercise every day.

Thanks Guy
Best advice I’ve seen on exercise for a while. Too many think they have
to go to a gym or do something really strenuous. Just start by doing
what you can, a little each day, and try to build on it.
Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.

Sorry to here about your handicap, must be a lot harder to exercise in your
situation.
Were you building some thing to use sand or just use it for exercise?
I have a stair stepper machine at home and a 25 lb dumbbell set for working
out. Also, bicycling when ever I can do it.
Legs have the largest muscles, so working them gets motor running quick.
Getting good BG numbers now. Yesterday had 142 , today 157 for morning
fasting BG.
Had two spoon of honey last night in my tea. Want it to see any effect on my
BG.

157 is too high for a FBG.

I know it’s still high, but over a week ago, averaged over 240.
150 is significantly lower. My A1C was 5.8 month ago, don’t know why.
What is yours?
