Did it again today! 1 hour of cardio.
If anyone doubts exercise helps, let me tell you what happened today.
Went in and tested before exercise as usual. 153 blood sugar. Yikes. My sliding scale says to inject 2 units of insulin. Since I was at the gym, I didn’t.
Got on the Natural Runner, and did 15 minutes. Not fast, about 90 steps a minute average. Stopped and checked sugar. Sugar was at 119.
Did another 15 minutes, sugar was at 101. Took a glucose tablet and started taking every 10 minute ala Dr. Bernstein’s book.
Tested again at the end of exercise, blood sugar was at 98.
I ate at noon, chicken walnut salad from Diet Gourmet, and now, at about 1:30, my sugar is at 114. Normal blood sugar after a meal is expected to be around 140.
So that hour in the gym was a WHOLE lot better than a shot. Well, maybe ….
