My first trial walk

[sprzepiora]

Hello all, in the interest of starting something for exercise I decided to try and walk before work in the morning. I did a test walk yesterday after dinner to both see how it effects my BG levels and to get a feel for the time it takes.

So I ended up walking 2.2 miles in 30 minutes, with none of it flat and most of it uphill on a slight incline.

So time wise it will work out for me, although I went right after dinner when I got back my BG was at 70 and falling, so I pop a glucose tab and had a 1/4 of baked beans and felt much better.

So what should I do about my levels regarding walking? I do not really like being that low as I don't want my body to get used to it and then not recognize it. On the other hand I don't want to get to high either.

Basically, you're just going to need to test and monitor. We've all got variability and you need to take notes and develop your own individual profile and respone to exercise.

Don't expect perfection or exactly the same things to happen either. It's frustrating, but there will be some times when things don't go exactly as planned. So always make sure you've got fast acting carbs with you, all the necessary supplies to make adjustments if needed.
