Liz32,

If I RAN 2-3 miles non-stop I'd be in cardiac arrest. Actually I brisk walked the 2-3 miles at a speed of about 2 miles per hour - according to the speedometer on my treadmill. It was broken up into several segments of about 1/2 hour each.

I have already recovered to about 90% of what I was before surgery. I'm out doing gardening, cutting my lawn, walking our dogs, etc. However, my stamina/endurance is not yet fully restored - which is why I want to get with some rigorous exercise again. Otherwise I feel great & am back to doing all the usual things which don't require lots of exertion.

I have also learned that managing diabetes is a personal thing. What works for one person may not work for another. Thanks & good luck with your regimen & may the Gods of tight glucose control be by your side!
