Hi Buddy2, Thanks for the reply, it's appreciated. And yes, your post was helpful.

So, if I understand correctly, your exercise program is to run (maybe jog speed?) for three 4 minute periods; seperated by one to two minute walk, then walking for about 5 minutes to recover. This is done both after lunch & after dinner. Is that right?

At my age, I am unable to sprint, or even run for that matter - so fast walking on a cross trainer treadmill (arms pumping ski poles + the walking belt) works better for me. Additionally, I'm still recovering from some major surgery which, temporarily at least, limits what I can do. It sounds like the key though is anaerobic rather than aerobic exercise.

My morning numbers are usually low as well (105 - 125) but my glucose level ramps up to nearly 145 - 150 before lunch, even though I don't eat a breakfast. I'm also type 2. I use two meds; Avandia & Prandin. I find that if I can level out that morning ramp-up, I do much better all day long.
