I thought that since one of my goals is to gain control over my blood sugar I'd share a graph of my fasting blood sugars since I started DDP Yoga. Here it is (click to enlarge):
It looks like things are trending in the right direction. When I started my fasting blood sugar was always around 120 - very close to Type II Diabetes. Now, it's averaging more like 110. Still firmly in the pre-diabetic range, but improving. All exercise is good for blood sugar management. It's just a matter of finding an exercise you can stick with. This is one I can stick with.
The Nutritional Ketosis eating plan may or may not be helping. I've been on low-carb diets for long periods of time and still had high blood sugar. So it's hard to say if that's helping, but I doubt it's hurting anything.
Blood pressure is harder for me to graph. I've started "borrowing" my husband's blood pressure medicine because I don't want to be diagnosed with hypertension. I think once I get my weight down the blood pressure will return to normal, and I don't want another diagnosis that insurance companies can use to hold against me. In any case, my blood pressure is altered by that medication at least some days. When I test and no longer see numbers above 120/80, then I'll know that's gotten better.
