Hello. I am a Type 2 diabetic. I have just started working out to reduce weight. The first day I had hot choco before the workout, but midway I felt nauseated, dizzy and was about to pass out, but took some sugar so was normal after few secs. From the next day onwards I have been working out primarily on an empty stomach and have been fine. I am taking Homeopathy. until couple of months a ago I had my Blood sugar under reasonable control but it has surged up to 220 since a month or two. one of the days my trainer gave me a nitric blast pre workout supplement. It felt great. I checked my blood sugar after the work out it was 200 odd. It has mostly been hovering around 220ish. Today I took another dose of nitric blast but my reading after the work out came 254. No idea how or why. My BP was notmal at 120/80 (I dont have BP). Is it a good idea to take the supplement it sure does give a boost for working out. I also have kidney stones since some time(2-3mm, doesnt hurt) I have been on Homeopathy medication for that as well. It seems to go away but stone formation reoccurs. Should I continue with the supplement. The contents are as follows: • Arginine-AKG for wicked pumps and road-map vascularity.
• Citrulline Malate & Beta-Alanine for endurance and stamina.
• Creatine MagnaPower®, Magnesium Creatine Chelate & Creatinol O Phosphate for instant strength and power.
• L-Tyrosine AKG & Pharmaceutical Grade Caffeine Anhydrous for laser-like mental focus.

Exercise can be used to help control diabetes and improve your health and your outlook on life. Because you have diabetes, however, it pays to be doubly careful not to injure yourself or upset your diabetes control. . Here are some tips to help you stay fit:-
1: Get a Thorough Medical Exam Before You Start
Your doctor should check your:
blood pressure
blood fat levels
Health of heart and circulatory and nervous systems
Kidney function
Eyes
Feet
2: Choose Exercises That Fit Your Health
Talk to your health care team about what types of exercise are best for you. Diabetes can cause health problems, such as eye or nerve disease, that make certain types of exercise poor choices. For example, if you have lost feeling in your feet, swimming may be better than walking. If you have trouble seeing, exercise indoors. If you have frequent low blood glucose reactions, you may need to check your blood glucose more often. Your health care team can help you choose fitness goals tailored to your health.
3: Warm Up and Stretch When You Start Exercising
Warm up with a low-impact exercise like walking. This gets your heart and muscles prepared to work. After you are warmed up, you may want to stretch gently. Stretching helps keep muscles and joints flexible. Tight muscles and joints are more prone to injury.
4: End Your Workout with a Cool-down
Slow down gradually, until your breathing becomes more normal. For example, if you've been jogging, walk for 5 minutes to cool down. Some people prefer to stretch at the end of their workout, when muscles are warm and can stretch more easily. When your breathing is back to normal, start your stretching routine.
5: Drink Plenty of Fluids
Sweating means you're losing fluid. It's important to drink to replace fluids lost in sweat. Water is usually the best choice. If you are exercising for a long time, you may want the extra fuel from a drink that contains carbohydrate.
6: Watch for Low Blood Glucose
If you take insulin or oral diabetes medicine, you may have low blood glucose levels during and after exercise. In fact, you may get low blood glucose 12 or more hours after a workout. People who have type 2 diabetes that is controlled by meal planning and exercise usually don't have problems with low blood glucose.
7: Timing Your Exercises
It's best to exercise 1-3 hours after a meal. You should also avoid exercising when your insulin is peaking (at its strongest). Your doctor may suggest that you try decreasing the insulin dose that will be working while you exercise.
