Get out in the sun & fresh air! On my bike every Sunday.

That’s a fantastic idea, HOBIEONE . Keep it up and enjoy the weather every Sunday when you ride your bike.😀

One should drink plenty of water and take walks frequently.

I agree. Walking and drinking lots of water are good for you and the blood sugars during the hot Summer months.

Also agree, outdoors six out of seven days a week walking and drinking water. The fresh air does you good. Exercise might work the insulin more in the heat for me as opposed to the winter or chilled air. A good survey!

I prefer walking and drinking lot of water. I am diabetic since last almost 15 years. In 2011 I had tangerines and my left major toe had to be amputed and I was pit on insulin as my BSL were as high as 350. Then in 2015 I had undergone CABG. I am taking glimisave max 1 750mg, Forxiga 10mg, Trajenta 5mg , Clopilet 75mg and Metxl 25mg in the morning and in the night I am taking glimisave Max 1 750mg, Ecosprin 75mg , Roseday 20mg.and Cardace 2.5mg and now my BSL remains under control even though my insulin had been withdrawn since 2016 and I am continuing to take medicines on the advice of my doctors.
