This video was very challenging to make as it was my first vlog type video and filming outside “in action” is a challenge. But I enjoyed every second of making it. Please excuse the lower video and audio quality caused by low light conditions in the morning and strong wind. I hope it will inspire some of you to find ways to reduce your blood sugar and improve your diabetes management.

Love you all! I appreciate your support!
Good video! In my experience either correction bolus or sport is a good way to bring it down. A combination is usually too effective and results in a quick hypo.
Thanks Tom, that was very interesting! I either take insulin or I sweep the rough concrete garden path for half an hour. I prefer the sweeping as it is nice to see the path looking good!
I have been watching your videos since I got my Freestyle Libre 2. Love your videos and your style of delivery that is trustworthy. I am type 2 and only now getting around to managing it but seeing type-1 folks like you, I realize how lazy I have been. Wish you all the best and more success.
You are welcome. I agree it might get too low too fast. I always try to play it safe and not too aggressive. Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Great to share knowledge with the community. Knowledge is power!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am happy you find the videos helpful. This is what keeps me motivated to make more! Wishing you all the best!
Thank you for another great informative video. It’s videos like this which keep me motivated to keep my blood sugars on a normal level. Thanks again.
I started to walked in the mornings and afternoon and I seen my sugars are steady overnight. Thanks for this information.
Very helpful, thanks! I liked your chart comparing the walk, run and bolus. I am inspired and planning out my own activity chart.
You are most welcome! Good luck my freind! Wishing you all the best!
You are so welcome! Great to see walking twice a day helps you! Thanks for sharing!
You are most welcome. I am so happy to hear that!
Another fantastic video Tom, on the loop system I use I have eating soon temporary target. For me it is set at 5.0 mmol/l for 1 hour, I use this prior to eating, does the Tandem system do this?
Also, I’d love to see how you deal with much higher levels say >13.0
I have learned a lot from watching you. I really appreciate the information you share. Because of you I asked my doctor for a Dexcom G6 and it has really helped me control my BS. My last Hb1c was 5.6. I am Type 2 and I have a much easier time keeping my BS level in the summer. I have a dog so daily walks are mandatory plus I swim 4 or more days a week. In the winter the dog walks can be much shorter because of the cold and ice. If I keep my carbs low I use very little insulin. I am in my 60’s so in the winter time I won’t risk slipping .
Thanks for this video! I am 65 and type 2 for 23 years caused by a medication I had taken for years. Anyway, the way I lower my sugar levels quickly is by working in my vegetable garden, which I can do year around because I’m in NW Florida. I have a large garden and use a hand plow to keep the rows weeded. It really turns out to be aerobic exercise with the benefit of producing food for myself and 3 other families .
Interesting experiment. That said non insulin pump users should keep in mind that Tom’s “basal” insulin is actually Humalog being slowly dispensed by his pump based upon the rate he sets. Our basal insulin, however, is a bit more complicated as it has been modified to release at a certain rate depending upon the brand and type. The activity curve of Tom’s insulin pump supplied basal insulin is much more predictable/repeatable than the chemically modified basal insulins which some of us use. Those insulins are far less predictable and their effect upon bG, especially fasting bG, far more difficult to predict.
Great points! Thank you for adding this detailed and very important considertaion!
Hi Tom! The release of this video’s timing could not be better as I work toward better BG management. With the Dexcom G6 and Omnipod Dash Insuling pump – my hgA1c declined quickly from 10.4 to 7.2 in 3mos! But I would not have known to ask for these had it not been for your videos on Diabetes Tech.
Numbers are nice, but what that translated to is the gradual recovery from brain fog (now gone!!) and profound fatigue. Your videos have “bailed me out” many times with focused and accurate content!
Next…looking at beginning to exercise again! Your identifying why, what and how much intensity has helped me to understand how to proceed.
There is much contrary information on this topic….Tried out your plan today, being sluggish post a viral infection,and sure enough my insulin sensitivity increased and BG did correct below 100!
Looking forward to adding routine exercise to increase insulin sensitivity back into my daily routine!
Thanks for your notable contributions to the DM community. Keep them coming!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and as always adding valuable contribution to the discussion Sharon! Have a good one!
Just wanted to say thank you for your great videos. I’m a newly diagnosed T1D (at age 38!) and I have been so underwhelmed by the amount of information my medical team provides; it’s nowhere near enough to gain control over my BG. I have learned so much from your videos and a few other great youtubers. Thank you for helping me navigate these first rocky months <3 Subscribed!
One thing to keep in mind is take you blood sugar with the meters. I have a Dexcom G6 also and sometimes the machine it self can be wrong. An example is Dexcom is telling me 8.9mmol/L and the Onetouch Verio is telling me 6.7mmol/L wait 20mins check it again with nearly the same results. To be honest I trust the blood sugar tests over the CGM’s but realize it’s not practical to be taking my blood sugar 18 times in a day. I know everyone is different and stress plays a very important role in blood sugars. I had collage exams in one day woke up did not eat anything [because I forgot too] gave my normal insulin with a that is to cover 40grams of carbs per meal. Did not go low at all the entire day was actually high around the 10.6mmol/L area. It was till the next day that I started to pay for it. Was on every Diabetics favorite ride “Roller Coasters of Blood Sugar”.
THNX Tom for this nice peace of info! I find that walking in the morning doesn’t do a thing for me… I have to bring my heart rate at least above the 120 before anything happens. But like you the afternoon and especially evening a normal 30 min walk will bring my blood sugar way down as well! I always thought it was just me (being the only T1D in the family) I just love the knowledge sharing
Excellent video! Good information, well laid out and easy to understand. Shows me there are ways other than taking fast acting insulin to handle these situations. Just finished your videos on the Miao Miao. Your comparisons were essential for determining what would work best for me. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I’ve had 3 hypo incidents that landed me in the ER in the last 6 month, and I was clueless my blood sugars were trending that low. I just ordered the Miao Miao 3 thru the link on your video. Thanks again for all your hard work!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you for this video.
I am type 2 diabetic for nearly 20yrs. Initially I didn’t know much about controlling BG except cutting on carbs and doing aerobic exercise. I helped me very well to keep my BG and HbAic well under control.
Now I Amma 71yrs. and walks and jogs for 1hr.(to raise the heart rate) every other day 4 days a week.
I enjoy my food of course with moderation and my HbA1c is at 5.5.
Excersise helps tremendously, especially in the morning to keep BG low and to God given life.
Great video Tom. Real down to earth practical advice.
I am from Asia currently living in Africa.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your kind words! This means a lot! Wishing you all the best my friend!
Love this! I currently opt for a fast walk. Usually 30 minutes is needed if I want my BG to lower and stay lower. Any shorter and my BG immediately goes right back up afterwards. I also live somewhere where there’s a significant winter season, so sometimes it’s a walk in the apartment with jumping jacks and lunges mixed in.
How can one get this smart watch monitor?
Thanks, Tom! I love your channel. It helps a lot . For me, dancing in my living room does the trick. Cleaning the house is also very effective, although it is less fun.
I agree! Diagnosed at 43 with t1d.
Walk 30 min but the best for me is lifting and legs without
I don’t think people really and truly know how many lives this man is saving with this channel. 💯💯 May he be blessed for the rest of his life
Thank you so much my friend! You are so kind!
