I Can't Exercise Because of My Feet [ Feet ]
I follow a diabetes diet and i am trying to lose weight but cannot. I work out 3 to 4 times a week and eat very little, in fact i don't have carbs, just vegetables and protein. I was told that there is a new prescription shot that helps diabetics lose weight is there such a shot?
"I want to exercise to decrease weight and become more healthy. However, I have found that my sugar level drops quickly when I exercise. This of course leads me to feel as if I need to eat, and in return for eating I feel I defeated the purpose of the exercise which was to burn calories and lose weight. Is this cycle avoidable? Or is the eating actually ok?"
I'm a rock climber operating in the upper grades of the sport...I rarely see any info regarding diabetics in 'power' sports like climbing/bouldering as opposed to more endurance based sports such as rowing/long distance running. Any thoughts on better diets/regimes for power athletes?
I am a diabetic with neuropathy and foot drop, and am in a wheelchair. I am trying to lose weight and was wondering was would be a good exercise program for me to get started with.
What do people like me with MS and a spinal cord injury do with diabetes. Last time I tried to exercise I fell and broke my knee.
I have been having ligament problems in feet, what kind of exercise would help me to maintain my limberness and keep weight off?
I was physically active before my diagnosis. I was taking a tap class and had just started a special karate class for seniors...Now I want to get back into exercising, but I'm worried about controlling my blood sugar. (I can now give myself shots and I'm doing well on my new diet.) I'm getting no guidance from the medical community. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to resume my active life again? I'm not ready to get in my rocking chair just yet.
I am a 47 year old single mom with a full time job and an 11 year old. Not only do I have type 2 diabetes, I also have neuropathy of legs and feet. I work as a custodian at a local school for 8 hrs. so shifts changes every fall and sometimes it is dark before I get home. My question is how can I lose weight and exercise without the pain. I weight 313 so I really need help.
I am a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic. I have just recently started monitoring my blood glucose. My problem is that I don't know what my numbers shold be. I am a 47 year old female. I weigh 230 pounds and I am only 5 feet 2. I am african american also. I have known that I am a diabetic only for one month. How do I go about finding out what my numbers are. I also hate exercising. How can I overcome this? Linda
I periodically have to take a steriod medication for my breathing problems, which sky rockets my sugar levels. My doctor recently put me on insulin shots to help control it at these times. I have been off of the most recent dose of medrol for 2 weeks now and my sugar is not coming down. Could the insulin shots be keeping it up? I am eating properly and just started my exercise up again.
I am A 48 year old mother of a 9 year old son. I have been a diabetic for 9 years. I was gestational in the beginning. Now I am overweight and I have high cholesterol on top of it. I try to work out at least 3 days a week , and the last two weeks I have only had a protein shake in the morning and salads for lunch and dinner. I am very frustrated with my wieght and the fact that my sugar is running real high. Please help me!! What do I do now?
My son was diagnosed with type I automimmune DM in June 2005. Since being started on insulin he has gained 70 lbs. He routinely has hypoglycemic reactions at blood sugars in what would be considered a normal range. He was incoherent during a recent episode when his glucometer read 69. A recent lab fasting blood sugar was 191 and HBA1C was 6.8. He is literally afraid to exercise due to these reactions and I think is overeating due to this fear. Are there people who need to run higher?
When is the best time of day for exercising? Should we eat a meal before exercising?
I'm on glucophage 500mg in morning and 500 mg at night + 250 of glucovance. In the morning my blood glucose as at 120-140.

Thank you
I am trying to lose weight...I weigh 240 now as I have lost 8 pounds this past month. I do fine all day...well sort of...I watch my carbs, eat healthy foods, work out 3x a week. But in the evenings I binge like crazy and feel like I am starving. Nothing satisfies the cravings and I know this is not healthy. If I could get this part under control, my sugars would be pretty good and my weight would come off faster. Do you have any suggestions?
I'm 46, have degenerative joint disease of the spine I am recieving pain management...had to quit steroids due to sugar hikes, so now I am receiving radiation treatment on the nerves inside the facets, to kill the pain..bottom line is I can't work out like used to due to pain so what are my exercise options besides just walking? I have lifted weights before. Thnx
I am a 53 Yr old make with type 2 diabetes. It seems if I exercise in the early late afternoon early evening my BG is closer to my target of 120, but if I exercise earlier in the day it is higher. What is the best time of the day to exercise?
I like to eat fresh fruit after I exercise on my bike. My son says that is not a good idea because the fruit is mostly carbs and so the body does not burn fat. Can you shed any light on what is best to eat after exercise? THanks
I am 41 yrs old, single mom, disabled for various health conditions. I have peripheral neuropathy in my hands and feet. I also have osteoarthritis. So at time exercise is a challenge for me. I have lost 24 lbs in 1 year from Jan f last year to now. My question is how do I exercise without aggravating my arthritis? I have been walking some. But I want to do more but I am afraid to do to much.
I have tried to control my glucose levels with diet and exercise. My weight is 165 pounds, and I am 76 yrs old. I can not get my glucose lower than 165. Is it time for me to go on an oral medication?
I was diagnosed with Type 2 two years ago. I am 51 years old. Since then I have lost 70 pounds, and control my blood sugar with a combination of diet and exercise alone. I am training to compete in a sprint marathon--500m swim, 14 mile bike, 3 mile run. My question is, what would be good to eat the morning of the competition, and what if anything should I snack on between my events? Thank you.

I have been a Type 1 diabetic for 40years. The past 2.5 years I have had severe osteo in my feet. Only 4 months of that time,I have not had broken bones or worn Cam Walkers on one or both feet. How do you get aerobic exercise with out bearing weight on my feet?
I would like to know how long should I wait before checking my blood glucose after exercising. I exercise for about 40 minutes each day. Once I leave the gym, while siting in my car I will check my blood glucose. Is this time okay or should I wait for 20-30 minutes or more before checking?
Is there a standard diet for a 60 year old woman who just reached 300 pounds? We just bought an aire bike to use in our home. I am type 2 since 1996 and on oral Rx's and Lantus at night.
My sugar is high every morning and it doesn't seem to matter what I eat or when I eat my last meal. It is running between 220 to 270. By the afternoon I can have it back between 100 to 120. I am exercising everyday and drinking 8 glasses of water. Any suggestions?
I have Insulin Resistance and I am tired all the time. I take vitamins, exercise and have tried protein drinks that once made me feel better but now that has not even helped. Do you have any sugestions for me?
I have numerous health issues on top of the diabetes including fibro and chronic fatigue and arthritis which due to the pain and resulting fatigue keeps me from engaging in any form of exercise other than a few movements I do from a chair or in bed. This is not enough to help with weight loss or cardio help. Any suggestions?
I am a 59 year old Afro-American male whose A1C ranges from 7.5 to 8.0. I weigh 185lbs, exercise regularly, and eat relatively healthy, however, my A1C remains elevated. I am on Metformin. My doctor thinks that I may have an irregular hemoglobin. Can you explain how this may be related to diabetes.
I exercise on the treadmill 5 times weekly in the early AM before work (before breakfast). I take metformin 1 x daily in the AM (1000mg). I notice that morning exercise is not lowering my blood sugar/sometime raising it a little. This is the best time of day for me to exercise as I am more consistent. Am I doing myself a disservice by exercising in the AM. Why is this morning exercise not lowering my blood sugar as exercise later in the day does?
I was watching dLife television and one of the little popups said that if sugar is above 250 to be careful of ketones, and that it could be dangerous. What are ketones and how do they affect me? Also, my sugar is currently less than in control...meaning I'm almost constantly at 250. Should i not exercise? That goes against all i've been told to do thus far.
I'm trying to exercise but it is really difficult for me. My back hurts, well, everything hurts. I'm newly diagnosed and just not sure of an exercise routine? Help!
I have been walking every day in the am and the pm, about 1.5 miles in the am and 3 miles in the pm and my levels are still high. I walked for 1 hour this morning, checked my levels and it was 340! Please help.
Over the last year I have gotten back into lifting weights and am looking to compeate in the 2008 Masters Powerlifting Championship. My question is my #'s are 95 to 115 when I start and jump to 185-190 when I finish. Is this average or am I doing something wrong? I lift first thing in the AM, I also do three 1 hour bike spinning classes per week so I am in the gym six days a week. I am also going to compeate in the BODY FOR LIFE contest and would like any advice on diets.
I live in DC. I've had Type 1 for 30 yrs, have neuropathy, also have herniated disks in my neck and some exercise-related injuries. These cause pain and spasming. For several months, anything other than walking or limited amounts of the most gentle stretching makes everything worse. I'd like to work with someone who can help me (re)develop a well-rounded exercise program. Know of anyone in the DC area whom I might consult?
I am an inactive, recently diagnosed Type 2 senior. I am interested in joining a "Curves" exercise program. Any input or advice about this system?
Hi; last August my level was 137 fasting,i quit drinking and began exersising on a treadmill,my recent test came back 113,can i get it lower with more exercise and weight loss?
I primarily take insulin injections twice a day in my abdomen. It has been almost 3 years now and my entire abdomen has turned to flab and sticks out further than above my belly button. This started when I started injecting insulin there. Is there anything I can do to stop this. I have been hesitant to exercise that area fearing it would turn to muscle and be harder to inject. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
My daughter's levels are all over the place mostly high during the day and bottons out at night. We are very good with her diet, and activites but we just can not get them stable. The novolog seems to do very little, and her doctor has been no help from day ONE!!! What do we do????
I have been a type 1 diabetic for the last 37 years and am well controlled (hbh1c tests below 7). Although my weight is generally stable, over the last year or so I have put on 5lbs which I just cannot get rid of. I am very active, walking, running and weight training, 3 to 5 times a week. Every time I start a "diet" (by trying to cut down on food intake), I have hypoglycemic reactions which thwart my efforts at eating less. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Can you tell me if this medication will retain or increase weight? I am currently on Avandia 8 mg and my weight constantly goes up. I have tried metimorfin/gluglaphage but it causes diarrehea. I walk most days and watch my diet, but still gain weight. Thanks
Ihad gestational when I was pregnant last year. I am now pregnant again. Will I get it again. Also...if I have a bmi of 50% is it safe for me to continue exercising and losing weight?
I've been playing tennis for months, lately when I play after starting with a normal (105) blood sugar, after playing for an hour my sugar is pushing 300's. I don't understand why. It's frustrating to enjoy something and have it do the opposite of what you expect it to do. ( which is to lower the sugar - not increase it)
When I exercise hard (an hour of a combination of aerobic and weight training, for instance), I will feel like I have low blood sugar -- shaky, sweaty, etc. But my blood sugars will be 89 or 91. When I took a 3 hour bike ride last weekend, I felt fine, although my blood sugar was 73 when I got home. What should I do? Eat during working out? I don't take any medication for my type II diabetes because my blood sugars aren't high.
I am 28 weeks pregnant, my gestational diabetes test was 132. After I researched it, I saw that 140 was when they worried. However, I was just wondering, I have started to eat better meals and do more exercise, do I have to limit all my sweet intakes, or can I still have the occasional slice of cake?
I exercise 3 times per week 30 minutes low impact strength training with cardio, yet my blood sugar is often higher when I finish why is this
My 3 month glucose is 7.2. If I start taking medication now, can I stop if it goes back to normal? I am exercising regularly and watching what I eat really closely and lost some weight.
I have read that exercising before you take your pills will make the medicine work better. I go to the gym and do 30 mins on the ellipper 5 days a week. Would it be better if I took my pills after the workout? I usually take them about 1 hour before. I am a 53 year old female.
what should I drink that would really help me out? Also, does the treadmill work?
I am in a wheelchair, and would like to know some different kinds of exercises for me to do.
