Well I dropped 2 points just pondering over that

Sorry that you find my comments so humorous. With facetious comments like this perhaps this site is not for me.

I'm not a pottering person.
I put the effort in, and take the result afterwards.
It's not always an instant hit.
Diabetes is about the long game.

Neither am I - but for me the results after riding my bike were unusual increases in BG and doing that every day when - for all I knew, my Hba1c was way above normal levels seemed to be counter productive. As it turned out my Hba1c was heading down quite rapidly, but I did not want BG in double figures at the time.

I found that exercise increased my blood glucose, and I could see over 10mmol/l if I went out and rode my bike for half an hour before the 2 hour after meals test when I'd be under 8 or even 7 pottering around the house.
It might have been due to the alarmingly bad driving around here of course, but after a couple of weeks I gave up on the idea and switched to using the trampoline in the garden in peace and quiet.

Even non diabetics go over 10 so I wouldn’t be concerned by bg spikes from exercise. The long term benefits of exercise are worth it.

Wow… that’s harsh. No idea what caused offence but as @silentsquirrel said the comment wasn’t for you.

It was a very light-hearted, funny thing to say - I loved it. Don’t worry about it!
