Hi Marisa, Exercising after eating is the way I can have carbs. We had lunch at Red Lobster today. I had 2 stuffed mushrooms, blackened catfish, salad, baked potato and one biscuit. Went shopping afterwards and 2 hour readings were 114. Yesterday for breakfast I had a bowl of oatmeal with peaches, sweetened with SF maple syrup, no protein, no fat and two hours later, readings were 81. I did housework after eating breakfast. Everyone is different. I suggest that you eat the high carbs then test to see what happens. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 When playing soccer I did best eating proteins and fibers and carbs. The protein and fiber help level out the impact of the carbs. Soccer involves two 45 minute halves of running. One orange at half time never caused me to spike. I eat one carb exchange for every half hour walking I do now. 1978 was my final year as a soccer player. My doctor always had me start slowly and build my way up to a full exercise routine. That way I could test as often as needed an prevent severe insulin reactions. At 52 I have lived with hypoglycemic unawareness for more than five years and test often to prevent severe shocks. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 If diabetes is due to obesity, then will the person be completely cured once he comes to the normal weight? (Ofcourse not stopping exercise and not including too much carbs) Regards, Arti. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Arti, becoming a diabetic is sort of like being an alcoholic. We are never cured. We just learn how to live with it in a healthy manner. Eat healthy, exercise healthy, try to maintain the best comfortable weight you can, and if you can manage to control the diabetes through diet you will be fine, but diabetic the moment you go back to your old ways. that is what my endo and nutritionist have told me. I sort of believe them. I am so much better overall now that I've started eating better, loosing weight I had gained (not weight bashing anyone - I gained nearly 60 lbs that I surely didn't need and now I'm getting rid of it although I know I'll never be that trim skinny me again). And Arti, although for some people obestity contributes to diabetes, not everyone who is obese or even overweight gets diabetes.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Arti - Not everyone who is diabetic is obese. Most people I've known who is diabetic are not even close to being overweight - even my grandmother, who was the only person in my family I know of who was diabetic. Being overweight doesn't HELP, but it doesn't cause it either. In the nutritional classes I took just recently at the local hospital's diabetic center, there was only one other person in them (besides myself) who had any kind of weight problem. Losing weight will certainly help me, but it won't cure me (dern it! lol) Carla > > If diabetes is due to obesity, then will the person be > completely cured once he comes to the normal weight? > (Ofcourse not stopping exercise and not including too > much carbs) > > Regards, > Arti. > > > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that do have something else going on in their body than simply being overweight. (It's called diabetes) ;-) You may be able to control it with diet and exercise, but the condition still exists. Diet and exercise may keep it controlled forever, but it may not. Even with diet and exercise, as you grow older may require some medications.
