We had a really good time at Center Parcs despite the usual low level annoyances. From checking his blood regularly, T has noticed that exercise has a huge impact on his BG.
It's a bit worrying that he wakes up some mornings with a BG level that is above 11 mmol, and we don't know whether this means that he needs medication to stop his liver churning out glucose overnight, or whether it is something that he can change through diet and exercise too. He did see improvement in the numbers as the holiday went on and we cycled and swam more and more.
Now we have to figure out how on earth we can get exercise into our already 28 hour days...
Cycling to work is not an option because the roads around here aren't safe and we need to get B to and from childcare before and after work. One of us needs to take him, and the other needs to collect him and we cannot get him up any earlier in the mornings as it wouldn't be fair on him. B did love being ferried around in a bike pod though. Like a mini chariot.
Swimming in the evenings is out unless we go alone and take it in turns to feed B and get him to bed. But then we would miss seeing him. Waiting until he has gone to bed might be a possibility. Will have to talk T into it though as all he wants to do in the evening is vegetate on the sofa. It's not good.
Swimming and cycling are really the only things that I can think of. Jogging is both boring and a bit too high impact for both of us. Zumba is too high impact, and the gym is just essay too boring. Walking would be good on the evenings when we don't swim.
You know what I'd love? The opportunity to learn scuba diving. Not going to happen though.
Will look into swimming times, the cost of bikes, a pod, and bike rack, and work on my arguments.
