    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?
