how strange it can be?

[Guest guest]

Really blows my mind how you can mainly eat the same carbs per day and do the

same exercise each day and yet, your sugar readings for the different days can

be different. actually for more then 3 weeks my readings were between 100 and

115. now the past 3 days I can't get out of the 80's. eating the same amount of

carbs per day and the no where bike travel the same each day. makes no good

sense at all, so I'm going to give up trying to figure it out. hard to ride the

no where bike for one hour when the sugar reading before the ride is in the

80's, so I eat a bit of carbs to help not allow the sugar to drop to low and it

does work during the exercise, but maybe one hour later after I'm done the sugar

will drop even lower then the 80's. still only taking the five units of 70, 30

mix twice a day. one more flex pen to go and around August 21, I will start the

ten units of lantus once a day first thing of the morning. now there was a few

days when I wasn't on top of the world a few weeks back and I'm here to let you

know right now! missing my exercise on the no where bike made a huge difference

in my sugar readings! I mean a big difference. I use to think exercise helped a

little, but I now know my head was up my rear to think such nonsense! it can

make a huge difference in your sugar control. if it wasn't for the weight I have

to loose, I could eat bigger pieces of those foods then I do now and jump on the

no where bike for one hour and drive my sugar down by 30 points easy! still

trying to figure out why for most of my life I ran away from exercise the way I

did? I honestly don't believe I would be a T 2 diabetic to day with a heart

attack in my past if I would have been exercising way back then as I have now

since the first of March. I would be willing to bet all I got on how true I

think it is! not that folks didn't do there best to tell me how much exercise

would change my health and cause me to feel so much better. they done there part

and they told me more then once, but of course for piles of stupid reasons I

flat ignored them! certainly do not have a good reason for you now why I ignored

that grate free advice back then. I do feel better when I ride my no where bike

for the 2 hours a day I ride it. I sleep better. I can control my sugar much

better. my heart doesn't race as much and I simply feel better about my self and

all around me. I know a blind guy that has been fit all his life and runs in

marathons all the time. well he had to have an open heart triple by pass a while

back and in no time at all he is up and running in just as many races as he was

before. the doctors told him he may not have done so well if he wasn't in such

grate shape like he was. they are probably right. look at all the trouble I had?

was in the hospital for one whole month with one set back after the other after

my heart attack on August first of 2007. I had exercise classes back in school

when they called it Jym then. I promised my self when I graduated I wasn't going

to do not one more stupid jump and jack the rest of my life or any more of those

silly exercises that we done back then. Well I never have done another jump and

jack and look what that stupid choice got me? never knew I had it so well back

then. even went out for wrestling for nine years and hated that as well, but at

the blind school in Muskogee there wasn't anything to do but wrestling for us

guys. so I joined the team and agreed to wrestle heavy weight just so they

wouldn't put me on the diet table. I was considered a small heavy weight back in

the 70's at 190 and I got my big fat butt handed to me many times, but it kept

me off the diet table and that was my only goal in school. 2 hours of hard

practice during wrestling practice and I hated every minute of it. done it all

for the chance to eat what ever I wished to eat when I wanted to eat it. I lived

to eat back then and after I graduated in 1976 I continued the practice of

living to eat and ignoring any kind of exercise. I done it my way and I got a

heart attack at 50 and type 2 diabetes when I was 42. high blood pressure and

only 140 pounds over weight. What a dain smart choice I made way back in school!

well can't change the past. can't have our yesterday's to do over. to day is the

rest of our life and if I plan to have different results in my future, then

exercise must be a part of my daily life. Who but god knows for sure? I might

live another 50 years and never have another heart attack or need another by

pass operation. I will exercise half of me away and be a new man one of these

days down the no where bike trail.
