Helpful hint: watch something good on TV or listen to music you like when you're treadmilling. The time will go by much faster. :) (thanks for mentioning your friend--I'd love to hear any ideas he could toss my way!)<BR/><BR/>Mac: Be careful what you wish for--you just might get it. rofl!<BR/><BR/>Unique: I usually start out at 1.5 mph, then gradually increase to 2 mph. I try to walk 30 minutes a day, at least a mile when possible. Do you Tai Chai? I've never tried. Maybe I should look into it. Thanks. :)<BR/><BR/>doc-T: See my response to Mac re: parrots. :D<BR/><BR/>Re: insulin reactions/treadmill. The same time every day thing sounds good. I've been trying to hit around 1:00 in the afternoon, after lunch, for the whole 30 minutes. Maybe I should do 15 minutes in the morning and 15 in the afternoon? Would breaking it up help? Something to think about...and I'll tell my husband what you said. Yeah, he <I>should</I> be getting up to bring me food! :D Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.<BR/><BR/>Joanne: Your mom probably shouldn't treadmill unless you're strapped to her. :D<BR/><BR/>I'm trying not to get discouraged--gotta keep moving!<BR/><BR/>Kira: You're so right about exercise! :D<BR/><BR/>Dawno: Wow!! Really? That's so cool!!! :D :DAnne C.

Keep working with the treadmill, though, it may be that your body needs to adjust to this new form of exercise and it may level out after a few weeks. Just as the body needs to adjust to different medications. **shrugs** <BR/><BR/>I have a devil of a time keeping Mom's levels within range. The only person using her tredmill is me. But at 82, it wouldn't be safe for her even on low speed. :DJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722780868620942044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22453477.post-1140968158100736612006-02-26T07:35:00.000-08:002006-02-26T07:35:00.000-08:00geez, Anne, what a pain that must be (a good excus...geez, Anne, what a pain that must be (a good excuse for a mini-frige in the bedroom tho-)<BR/><BR/>Have you tried Tai Chi for exercise?

I have a dear friend who used to be a local Diabetes Assoc. director before high tech lured him into the corporate world - I'll be asking him if he's heard of anything helpful - although I bet you've done your homework and I can't share anything you don't already know...<BR/><BR/>Interesting thing - the SO and I were just talking about getting a tredmill! He's going to start researching models and I hope we'll have one soon - my doc has prescribed 30 minutes of walking per day.ohdawnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995493308490806364noreply@blogger.com
