I have type two and I walk every day, sometimes listening to a book on tape and sometimes chatting?
on a cell phone. I have noticed that when I chat, my blood sugar does not go down, even though I may walk more than an hour and walk so briskly that the person on the other end of the line comments on my panting. Sometimes my blood sugar even goes up! When I walk listening to a tape my blood sugar always goes down thirty to 100 points. Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what causes it?

I am a physical therapist. I haven't heard of this, but if you are talking, you may be getting less Oxygen into the bloodstream which will restrict the breakdown of glucose. (You are probably working anaerobically--without oxygen--like weightlifting). If glucose is not broken down in the cell, it won't be needed in the cell and will stay in the blood.
Are you singing along with the tape? If you aren't talking, maybe you are using Oxygen more efficiently when you are off the phone...it would make an interesting study.
