    I would imagine that a gentle walk would aid digestion, by improving circulation, etc. I think if you exercise really furiously, it sucks blood away from the tummy to all the muscles so that might be counterproductive.

    Not sure if this is relevant but I had gestational diabetes and initially found my blood sugars were lower if I walked after each meal. It could be a simple 15 minute stroll - nothing taxing. I guess your muscles utilise the energy rather than it getting stored perhaps??? After a while I found that if I walked each day my BSL's were better for the whole day so perhaps one walk is enough?

    Good luck with your lifestyle revision!
