Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / January 2004Exercise and diet
I just changed my sig line to "controlling by exercise and diet," rather than "diet and exercise." I did this because, while diet is probably more important, exercise has become a very important part of my program since I added strength training last summer. I seem to be focusing more on it lately. My average FBG has gone down about 10 points since I started the training, with no dietary changes. In fact, truth be known, I probably ate a few more carbs than usual during the holiday season, yet none of my BG readings were elevated. I go to the gym every other day and it takes about 30-45 minutes. I only have time to do one rep. Those in the know say that at some point I'll need to increase to 2 reps which will increase my time, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. -- Best wishes, Louise Type 2 since 2000 Controlling by exercise and diet > I just changed my sig line to "controlling by exercise and diet," rather > than "diet and exercise."

A set is a number of reps, one rep is one repetition...the only reason to increase the amount of work you do is to makes gains (more muscle, more strength) otherwise you can maintain. Instead of doing more of an exercise type, increase the resistence of it. Or, you can just stay where you are to maintain the benefits of exercise on insulin resistence. >I just changed my sig line to "controlling by exercise and diet," rather >than "diet and exercise."
