Walking after a meal

Thank you! I will take this into account! 💞💞
Not cheating! I do 10-20min yoga after breakfast, walk 10min after lunch & 20min walk after dinner. Like Emma said, it just helps your body use the carbs more effectively.
Thanks a lot! It is hard as I do exercise everyday but I just don’t like after food as sometimes I feel I will puke! Also I don’t think I can go for a walk every dinner 😅
@Cristina yea, do what you can. Maybe just target exercise after particularly carby meals that you think will spike. I will say, that my first two weeks, walking was really hard. I was slow, and my back ached. But almost all of my back aches have completely subsided and I 100% attribute it to daily stretching and walking. Silver lining to this GD thing! I am also fortunate that I have the flexibility in my schedule to exercise after each meal. I recognize that is a luxury not everyone has.
Also if you’re not up for going for a walk look up Caroline Jordan on YouTube she’s diabetic and has exercise videos that are 5-10 minutes long specifically designed to lower blood sugar, they are low impact too and she even has some that you can do sitting on a chair, I started completing these exercise routines soon after being diagnosed and it has kept all my post meal sugars very low I even managed to have a cheeky McDonald’s and my sugar levels were 5.4 afterwards! And I’ve lost 3.5kg healthily since being diagnosed only 2 weeks ago!
@Alia very useful thank you
My dietician said to always walk straight after every meal! It means you use your sugar before it hits your blood sugar. Not cheating at all.
