When You're Already High

A scene from Neil's actual life: an airport layover, a stubborn high from hours of travel sitting, and one man doing laps past the same Cinnabon so many times the employees start whispering. This episode covers movement as a tool when your blood sugar is already high: what it can do, what it can't, and the one rule that never bends. Gentle walking helps the correction you already took work better, because working muscles pull glucose out of the blood without extra insulin. But the rule comes first, every time: if you're high, check for ketones before you move. No ketones, a gentle walk can help. Ketones present, movement is off the table, full stop, that's insulin, fluids, rest, and your care team. Plus the September recap: the side door, the two-day bonus, three walks, movement snacks, and the safety net, all in one month. In this episode: How gentle movement helps a correction dose do its job The one-high-one-ketone rule, the non-negotiable of the whole series The travel-day playbook for stubborn highs Everything September taught, recapped in one breath Your challenge this weekend: keep the anchor walk. And if a ketone-free high shows up, try the gentle-walk assist and watch what your line does.
