exercise

I'm type 2, using 3 differnt medications to keep numbers down. Find exercise was the key. Used to believe aerobic exercise was best so I jogged slowly for about twenty minutes. Worked moderately well. Then ran across something in a book which suggested anaerobic was better. In other words, exericise that causes you to get breathless fast. Lifting heavy weights would be good except it can't be maintained. so i began running faster for shorter periods of time. That is about 4 min, walk for a minute, 4 min, walk for a minute or two, 4 minute, then walking til i recovered (about 5 minutes). When I ran I ran moderately fast, not a sprint because I couldn't maintain that for 4 minutes. I did theabove twice. Once after breakfast, once after dinner, so I was running approximately the same time. But the difference was dramatic. Numbers in the morning 100-115, even when my diet wasn't that great. Let me know if this helps. this is my first post, so i really don't know what i'm doing in this site.
