EXERCISE is very important. You can lower your test results drastically
and you may be able to be a controlled diabetic, if you’re not already... no insulin but still do the tests.
Walk every day at least 30-45 min. Stair-stepper, recumbent bike, swimming.
The brisker the better if you can. Talk to your doctor about exercise. It is very important.
Along with a strict diet. Diabetic diets don’t have to be bad.
Good luck and Good reading!
I’m Type II. I have found that even a 10-minute leisurely stroll after a meal will lower my blood sugar readings. The longer, brisker the better but even just moving around makes a big difference for me.
You are exactly right. Medication affects either how much sugar the liver puts into the bloodstream or how effective the body’s insulin is. But exercise causes the large body muscles to directly absorb sugar from the bloodstream. With the same diet, the difference in my glucose level is night and day on days when I exercise and when I do not. A three-mile walk is my goal but even less works wonders. And this time of year diet is especially challenging!
