Unless, I've just eaten, I test and make sure I am at my target or a little above, if not I adjust. I then eat 5 gm of carb (a mini
Chips Ahoy cookie) at the start of each half mile.
If I'm to walk right after a meal, I skip the test and the first cookie. Make sense?
And before I was on insulin, I followed about the same proceedure.
