MikeO Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Just wanted to share the effect 30 mins of exercise has on BG levels. Started diabetes boot camp yesterday. Part of the program includes 30 mins of exercise. So started the session off at 229 and post session came down to 137. The trainer also mentioned that the exercise benefit would last a number of hours and it did. later in the day i was only 133. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jyoti Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 I agree. Nice to see such dramatic results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Thanks! @Sushi @JyotiExercise seems to fix a lot of stuff. Still a bit of a dilemma when i am high (253) at 8 PM and my guidelines are not to go to bed with a BG out of the 80-140 range. Sure a 30 min workout is going to keep me up for a while. Diabetes is such a pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdlady Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'm glad that is helping you. Do you have PEM (post exertional malaise) with your dysautonomia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEM is delayed (a day or two later) and more like “being sick” than being tired. It is a real bugaboo for those of us who get it as it is so hard to know if you have gone over your limit when you are actually exercising or exerting in other ways. You find out the next morning when the freight train hits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
