Yeppers, seems like exercise is an important part of keeping numbers low. Perhaps doctors should write prescriptions for exercise in addition to any medications. For me its bike riding!

Thanks so much, everyone!

As it happens, I experienced my first spike today. Bleh. One more food to cross off my list, but…it is what it is.

Keith6,

You might find the following site of interest: www.exerciseismedicine.org. As a clinical exercise physiologist I agree wholly with you that doctors should write a prescription for exercise and make referrals to individuals like myself for delivery of the prescription.

Best to you!
