I skied yesterday and I felt pretty good. I think the exercise bike is helping me to gain strength back in my legs. Today I did a routine on the exercise bike and then went shopping. I soon found that I didn’t have enough protein on board and suffered from low blood sugar. But I held on and made myself a nice salad full of lean beef and cheese and now I’m doing better.
I keep telling myself that the best thing for my Insulin Resistance is to get my weight down, balance my diet and exercise so that I don’t develope Type 2 diabetes.
It scares me, and so I think maybe this is what is keeping me on track.

Being aware that you face more serious healthy risks has to help quite a bit. I hope you are able to stick to the track you’ve set and succeed!

Diabetes is certainly good motivation to stay on track. Good for you for sticking to your plan! :good:

You can get low fat/low cal beef/turkey jerky that you could keep in your purse or car in case that happens to you frequently. Then you would have a healthy option for a quick snack so that you don’t get to feeling weak and/or eating everything in site when you do get to food, like I would!

I am IR, too, and that scary diabetes helps me keep on track, too.
