I’m coming out of the December slump and, thanks to the better weather conditions I’m getting out on the roads daily. The big surprise is that my FBG’s dropped right back into the low 90’s after three straight days of 22 mile rides (that is all my body can manage in cold weather — that’s about an hour and that’s enough).

I guess there is a lesson here in that I’ve had these days of higher than normal FBG’s every winter and I’ve attributed it to my December blah’s, but I guess it is really a body that demands daily activity and lots of it.

So, if you’re wondering if exercise works — it does and as a bonus my mood has improved as well.

Conundrum time: Of late my FBg’s have been running in the one-teens, but my Post Prandials are steady in the mid 80’s, and my HbA1c’s have been steady at 5.4%.

I’ve noted that as the daylight hours have gotten shorter this seems to happen. I am getting up in the dark as opposed to waking up to early light. My diet and exercise routines are pretty much the same and I’ve been adjusting my calorie intake to account for the reduced activity levels of winter to maintain (so far successfully) my weight.

So my question is: has anyone else had a similar experience?
