Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm type 2 diabetic and noticed my blood sugar tends to peak around half an hour after eating. So I now try to time any exercise I do for that window. And actually it feels good. Like I feel an urge to get up and move around at about that point, so I guess the body is trying to tell you something?

Since most of my exercise involves cycling, if I'm say eating out someplace and can afford the time, I relax for about half an hour at the restaurant before hitting the road.

I told this to my diabetic councillor. She said such a regimen is approximately equivalent in therapeutic value to taking a metformin pill, so this is clearly a good thing for me, but I imagine it's not bad idea in general?
