I picked up one of Dr. Bernstein's recent books in a bookstore to take
a look-see, and opened immediately to a section relating physical
activity to bg regulation.

He mentions two type 1's who are professional painters and have to
regularly eat large chunks of carbs (he mentions something like half a
muffin or a big chocolate cookie every hour).

This coincides with my attempts as an amateur house painter (my own
house). Doing 8 or 10 hours of painting requires extreme and
continuous attention to my bg's and usually results in me eating very
large quantities of carbs to keep my bg's up even if I proactively cut
my insulin shots beforehand.

I knew that Dr. B had lots of little tidbits that corresponded
directly to the things I do either everyday or occasionally, but never
knew that he'd zero in on painting so precisely!
