The best time to do it is when you'll actually do it.

For me, I have to do it right after I eat (unless BG is too high for some
reason) or I'll go hypo.

When they had me do very tight control during my pregnancies they had me
exercise for 15 minutes immediately following exercise.  I think it is best
then because as you said it burns off the bg then.  Then it keeps you from
having a high blood sugar peak.  But, as Julie said, whenever you actually
will do it is a very good time.

Wiser to eat less, down to the optimal amount.

There is an optimal time to exercise.

Because exercise is not a cure for anything but rather has the
potential for causing injury and/or harm, it should be undertaken when
things are physiologically optimal (ie when hungry).

No.

The goal is to lose the bad "inside" fat (visceral adipose tissue or
VAT) that is the proximate cause of the insulin resistance that
undergirds type-2 diabetes.

It is only when we are hungry that our bodies get rid of the VAT.

See above.

Be hungry... be healthy... be blessed:

My routine involves working out about 40 minutes after
I begin eating lunch.   It allows freedom to eat a few
more carbs than I normally would be able to eat and also
insures that bg levels don't go low while working
out.

I have found that exercise works quite well for me when it comes 1 to 1.5
hours after a meal. FWIW - my favorite activities are bicycling and
showshoeing. Both burn considerably more calories than walking/hiking -
provided you do it at a vigorous pace.

Above all, with such readings you're in urgent need of consulting a
physician, who has to decide upon the necessity of a medication. I
doubt you currently will be able to get your diabetes under control
with nothing but exercise. Fortunately certain diabetes drugs are even
supportive when losing weight. Keep in mind, that each day with BG
levels that high will add further damage to your body.

Kind regards

Mike

In my case, after I had breakfast, if I go on my bicycle ride straight
after, it guarrantees a "liver dump", casing my bg to shoot up, and keep on
going up when the food adds to it. If I wait about 50 minutes after having
eaten, then go on my bicycle ride, my bg goes down, as it should. I like to
wait about 45-50 minutes after every meal before exercising.

I missed that earlier. After you read this again
http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm you
might find it worthwhile to post your menu (including
everything - mains, sides, drinks) for the past 24 hours and
your test results and timing for people to comment on.

Actually, on first reading I could understand 200 plus, but
I did wonder how you achieved a minus 20 (surname
Dracula?:-)

For me, an hour after lunch and dinner works for me. After breakfast
emphatically doesn't work, I used to get ferocious liver dumps. YMMV -
try it and test...

For starters don't worry about when. Get started. Walk briskly for at
least 20-30 min five days a week. You will be surprised how quickly
you want to do 1 hr. Have a walking buddy. Fortunately my wife has
been a great company. 2 yrs ago (dx Jun'05) I could barely walk 20
min. But I told myself that I did not get in this hole in a day. It
took 20 yrs of in activity to push my body to plain give up!

It took good 6 months for me to get a sensation that may be I can stop
the digging part.

There are a few indoor exercises I also started doing when weather was
too nasty. But brisk was by far gave me the best ROI!

We have been walking 5-6 miles 3/4 times a week now. We even manage to
go a few weeks for serious hikes. Never thought I could bring my wife
with me too. It was an exhilarating experience.  We climbed 1800' and
came back to base in 4 hrs. If some one would have said I could be so
fit 2 yrs ago I would have said nothing short of miracle would take me
that far. Looking at the slow but steady pace with which we kept up
the walking habit, I know how such miracle can be accomplished. While
walking so much is not for everyone, I have read here I am not the
only one to discover this simple activity. Its also free!!

Wishing your the very best of motivation,

I found that for myself exercising after my evening meal gave better control
than exercising before the meal.
I did not try a morning routine or a mid day routine.

As a side note I use to take my lunch time and go jogging.  Every business
day, rain, shine, hot or cold.  I would  head to the base gym, suit out, go
jog, spend a few minutes in the steam room, shower up and head back to an
afternoons work.  As I recall I weighed about 150 lbs then also.  Maybe I
should try that routine now!

I have read that many believe the best time is the morning.
For me it depends.  cardio I can do in the morning while  weight lifting is
better in the after noon.
but what is exercise? for some it is just getting up out of a chair and for
others its running for 45 minutes.
some will lift 1lb others will lift 100's.
as far as how long after you eat... that would even be different for me each
time. depending upon what I ate
what I will eat and what kind of exercise.  at one point I would consume 45
carbs 1 hour before working out, 20 carbs while working out and another 20
during the hour after working out.

when I was first dianosed walking to the corner a couple of times each day
was good exercise.
so at that point I would say it was pretty important to exercise serveral
times a day.

yes and I dont think by reading any amount of posts anyone could possible
know what is best for YOU.
even a visual examination wouldnt give you the best opinions.
for me the best help in that area would be from people that have studied the
human body and nutrition
and have examined me.
