I'm going to start a little experiment this week and see if I can correlate the amount of time spent in aerobic and anaerobic zones in relationship to my blood sugar. For one week, I'll do my regular routine which places my heartrate in and out of aerobic and anaerobic dozens of times over the course of 45 minutes with 9 minutes of that being the odd hybrid condition that seems to be unique to combat sports. I'll then allow 4 days to recover and ease into pure aerobic and do the same mearsurements for a week and see what I get. I'll graph it all out and send out results when I'm done. Thanks again! |
Lacking some info here, but guessing that you have been for the most part active throughout your life and in good shape, who diagnosed you and how were you diagnosed as type 2?
There are type 2s who are thin and develop at a young age. But then there are also type 1.5s, LADA, adults whose immune system gets triggered into attacking the beta cells of the pancreas. Seriously, if I were a doctor and I had an active and fit adult presenting with diabetic symptoms, I'd go testing for evidence of it being type 1.5 and not type 2.
If you're just seeing a general physician, be aware that not all general physicians are all that good at treating diabetics and some really don't know much at all, especially about how it's not juvenile or adult-onset diabetes, but how it's type 1, 1.5 and 2. If your GP isn't knowledgeable beyond the rudimentary basics, it might be well worth your while to get a referral to an endo and having the blood drawn to look for the signs of 1.5. If you are 1.5, you owe it to yourself to get properly treated ASAP.
