Sam: Keep at it! You are right in
controlling blood sugar! Other things are important also, but keeping the blood
sugars down is the main thing, not the only thing, but the main thing!

..boy, I WISH I could lift! I had
polio as a kid, so can only walk, swim & ride horses..and the horse left
years ago. She was hard to ride. But walking..muscle uses glucose, drops my
sugar by 100 points sometimes. I always carry juice. Have a good day
everyone...stay safe & keep your sugars under control, any way that works
for you.

Faith: If you follow your Doc's
suggestion, lift every other day and do only cardio on the days you do not lift.
Recovery time is needed. You will still benefit from the exercise!

Got my last doctors report on my
blood work and everything was good except for my A1C. It was 7.7. The doctor
said my next one should show improvement because of my increased exercise
program. Isn't it amazing what exercise will do! Yesterday, for example, before
starting my 1 hr of exercise, my BG was 278, afterwards it was 135.
I had been going on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for an hour, but, my
doctor said going everyday for at least 30 mins would be better. I've gone
everyday this week, except Wednesday. Will see how this goes. I usually ride the
bike for 20 mins., do one round of 10-15 reps on the weight machines, then walk
for 20-30 mins on treadmill. It is making a difference in size too, not weight
so much as inches. Clothes are fitting differently too.
Hope you all have a great day!

Squats: Thanks for the info...I will
get protein test strips, then TELL my Dr...if they show something..she is so
busy, I go each month, but I forget to bring it up, I have many things wrong at
this time. I don't eat much meat, not red, organic if possible. A1c was 6.8 last
time, who knows this time?

Sam: First will be an increase in
creatinen spillage (the waste from muscle breakdown) then the kidneys will start
leaking protein. Preventatives include moderate protein intake (this may require
amino acid tabs) to prevent muscle loss, lots of water (preferably purified) and
regular 24 hour tests of protein spillage via collection of all urine for 24
hours. Protein test strips are available to get an idea. Dr. will often
prescribe ACE inhibitors and blood pressure medication to reduce kidney stress.
Strict sugar control is helpful also.

I doubt that censored posts are
censored because of disagreement; if that is being done, only the hateful,
bigoted posts are being removed! Even though many disagree with my nutrition
stance, none of mine have been deleted. If one is decent, then no worry about
deletion!

RE Food Pyramid, I couldn't find
the article on CNN. Is it Fox? Carbs are not carbs! RDs should warn against
white flour, white rice, and other grains of which the nutrients are milled
away. It appears they do not. Why not yams or yukon potatoes verses white
potatoes? When mashing potatoes, leave the skin on! (fiber and nutrients). Eat
veggies and fruits raw or lightly steamed without salt or fat. Buy organic. I
suspect too many do not do their jobs! Otherwise they would say what I have just
posted.

Tracy: I can relate to what you
said, even after almost 50 years. As tough as it is, control is easier than
severe complications.

Water and nutrients: It was
suggested to me that liquids only be consumed 1/2 hour prior to meals and 1 hour
after to allow for maximum absorbtion of nutrients. Has anyone here heard of
that? Oviously that would apply to water soluble vitaamins like vitamin C. I
take 3 grms/day and don't want to lose any of it!

I posted the last post, not Jill!
I apologize.
On Sun Mar 2 18:16:23 2003 Jill () said:
Jill, this can be avoided by 1.
Sipping some juice when exercising 2. Testing blood sugar every two hours after
finishing. 3. Immediately after you are done, have a complex carb with 14-20
grams of protein to keep glucose up. As always, let your blood sugar be your
guide!

My doc told me to
come to this site for some info on exercising and how to avoid low blood sugars.
My blood sugar gets low 8-10 hours after mild exercise. Can anyone help me?
