Baby steps, but I’ve been able to walk 15 minutes straight in the late morning, twice this week. I can’t later in the day, especially if I did it earlier, but I am getting there.
I’m also making progress on the insulin usage front. I’m doing my — try to walk off the blood sugar from a meal, rather than bolus. I don’t recommend it for anyone but a Type 2, and then only if you do a lot of testing. I’m still doing my basal insulin (about 40 units a day), and I correct two hours after I ate like usual. Yesterday I was able to get to 64 units, so I’m doing better, last weekend I was at 70 units.
I’m also still doing Symlin when I perform this experiment so I’m not completely not treating. The good news, is that it prevents a lot of lows from exercise and it’s easier than reducing the basal — since I tend not to plan exactly when I am going to exercise.
