I am still trying to figure all of this out, what works, what I have to watch, all of that. For the moment I have not changed my diet too much as I try to find out how my body reacts to things. So far I have only had a few numbers that pop up too high, usually after a big meal and then sitting around or worse, sleeping! So, my question is that when you suspect you have had a meal with too many carbs that will cause a problem, when is the best time to get in some excercise to counteract it? Right now I am testing 2 hours after meals, so is it best to excercise shortly after eating, or right before testing? Also, when I go back for my glucose tolerance test should I walk around a bit or are you supposed to just sit and do nothing? I don't want to mess up the results, but I also don't want them to look worse than they really are.
TIA, Michelle

Yeah, that is kind of what I thought. Any idea what kind of meal would be equivalent to what they give you there? Obviously I don't really want to duplicate that, just wondering how much it takes to have the same effect. Or is it that you have that much dumped into your system all at once instead of over 15 or 20 minutes? I know, I tend to overanalyze things sometimes, I guess it is my scientific side coming out!

A meal that would duplicate it?
Actually yes, you do have to chug it! You have to drink the whole amount within 5 minutes. I tend to just down it and get it overwith!!! I am assuming that it is mostly from some kind of sugar, being that it is a glucose drink. Oh well, we will just have to wait and see how it goes.
