On feeling 'hypo' during exercise.
Hi.
Greetings from Singapore. Remember me, the diabetic newbie, who wants to start up to play tennis but can't coz he get feelings of 'hypo' after 2 km runs?:-) We'll this an update on what I did, following the advice the good folks here have posted. I woke up in the morning. My bg is 5.1mmo/L(92mg/dl). Had a small bowl of cereal and another small bowl of baked beans. I usually avoid cereals as I get huge spikes of above 10(180) if I don't work out after meal. Went for my run 30 minutes later. Run consisted of half hour fast paced walking, quarter hour slow pace run and quarter hour fast pace run. No 'hypo' feelings. Checked bg - 6.8 (122). That's almost 2 hour after meal and moderate exercise reading. But I felt my right ear gave me a 'water in the ear' feeling after my run. Maybe I should cut my cereal portion by half next time. My usual breakfast of a bowl of salad, an egg , tofu or baked beans and soya bean drink gives me an after a 2 hour post meal reading of below 5.9 (106). Any comments? Thanks in advice for your kind contribution Zad Singapore |

On feeling 'hypo' during exercise.
Zad,
I am diabetic but not on meds. When my exercise regimen was giving me hypos I did two things: 1. Two ounces of whole wheat bread 1/2 hr before exercise (thick, bakery stuff, not supermarket pillowy stuff.) The problem with this is that occasionally something came up and exercise was delayed, leaving me with a nasty spike. 2. 2 - 4 grams of candy containing dextrose (which is another name for glucose) right before execise and half an hour into exercise. Sweetarts were the one I used. I don't know if you have these in Singapore. Look for something with dextrose as the primary sweetener and 8 to 16 calories per piece. This worked the best for me because it nudges the hypo up 10 mg/dl or so while not causing a spike. The 2 grams works perfectly for someone around 150 lbs. If you are 300 lbs you have to double it. It's a straight line function inbetween. -- Jenny 168.5/137 Low Carb 9/1998 - 8/2001 and 11/10/02 - Now http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean How to calculate your need for protein * How much people really lose each month * Water Weight Gain & Loss * The "Two Gram Cure" for Hunger Cravings * Characteristics of Successful Dieters * Indispensible Low Carb Treats * Should You Count that Low Impact Carb? * Curing Ketobreath * Exercise Starting from Zero * NEW!
