      only time that I have been sick was when I got COVID during Jan '22. my sugars were going crazy high and I couldn't understand why but when I tested positive for COVID, in retrospect it made sense.

      I said “always”. But, this weeks is an exception. I’m having severe back pain, so I’m resting. But, I’m still moving around and getting some work done around the house. The weather has not been good outside either. I don’t go to the gym anymore, since Feb, 2020 (covid). I hope to go running this week to see how my back feels. If I can’t do it, I’ll try a bike ride, or just walking.

        Lawrence S—I have had spondylolisthesis roman numeral one for several years. I control it through prescribed back exercises and up to 6X per day of 200mg Advil. Keeps the pain at bay or at least manageable.

        Ahh Life,
        Thank you for your insight. I may have a similar situation. About eight years ago I was xrayed and diagnosed with bulging disks and a pinched sciatic nerve. I am resting and taking Aleve, for the time being.

      My son is active in sports. Cross country ended, and basketball started the following week. He also takes figure skating lessons once per week-an hour on the ice followed by 45 minutes of off-ice conditioning.
      On weekends, he goes at least one hour long walk with the dog.

      Managing glucose is so much easier with regular exercise/activity. 150 mins/wk is not very much.

      I put “sometimes” because it really depends on the weather. I, too, have a big dog who loves to walk. Usually it’s just under an hour but includes going up and down some hills. If it’s raining or snowing, then the dog and I limit the walks to only the refrigerator to get some beer. We both like pale ales and IPAs.

      During tennis season, I practice/play at least 1 hour four times a week. And I lift weights three times a week, including a total of 20 minutes aerobic warm up/cool down. Plus 10 to 15 of stretching everyday.
      During the winter instead of tennis, I bump up my aerobic activity to 30-45 minutes and I do HITT twice/three times a week.

      I get more than that every night that I work, and I work a rotating 12+ hour night shift so my time per week varies between 36 hours (2160 minutes) to 48 hours (2880 minutes) per week!

      Though last week and this week it will be roughly 0 minutes due to surgical recovery time out of work.

        Stillarobyn–I cannot speak for “We, the people” but I also write and read extensively. I have aged out of a number of exercises, but continue to walk and swim. Exercise is exceedingly difficult as muscles, joints, scar tissue, glycated other internal structures, and everything else in the body seem to lock up or pretend to lock up. Couch potatoes sound like Dan Quayle. Keep doing what you are able to do. . 🄳

        I am a promoter of exercise for diabetics. Movement helps the body function better in so many ways. As I aged, I noticed that my body has functioned above my expectations and the expectations of my doctors. And, my body was not built to be an athlete. I honestly think I might not be alive now if it were not for my exercising.

      An hour of cardio-elliptical and/or rower-has been a part of my daily routine since I was diagnosed in 1992. It’s essential for maintaining my physical and emotional equilibrium. I’m a bit freaked out at the moment because knee pain from an ancient ski injury is threatening to limit my activity. I’m considering knee replacement surgery, which would be an awful ordeal but probably worth it if it keeps me moving.

      Try to but very hard to coordinate. Healthy exercise is very expensive and seems to be directed more towards post COVID 19 people who refuse to work anymore and say they are suffering from mental distress even though they are still being paid to do nothing. Federal government workers
      are a large part of that group. Proper health assistance (medicine, nutrition and exercise) is only set up for special groups of our society (mostly the lazy ones).
      Low income and disabled are being ignored now even more than before and during the pandemic.Governments and society have zero empathy towards them.

      Rarely now. My activities since the Pandemic have been limited to pharmacy, medical appointments and weekly grocery shopping. The grocery shopping would account for close to the 150 minute minimum when including the trips up and down two flights of stairs when unloading bags of groceries from the parking lot to our apartment.

      We have a big dog so I walk him for an hour every day. Sometimes up the hill, sometimes down to the park and around. I miss some days, but I garden a lot too. I don’t get much “aerobic” exercise anymore. I don’t really have an excuse except I really hate those exercise classes…..

      I often get 150 minutes/day of moderate aerobic activity. I also do some more intense exercise and also add resistance training in an effort to maintain muscle mass as I age- currently age 73.
