“TAKE THE BIG BLUE TEST

At 2 pm your time, test your blood sugar, do 14 minutes of exercise, test again and share their results online. (If you are busy at 2 pm, then do it whenever you are free.)

Here’s how to participate:

1. Test your blood sugar.

2. Run, jog, walk the dog or do anything you’d normally do as part of your exercise routine for 14 minutes.

3. Test your blood sugar again.

4. Post your readings and what physical activity you did. If you have a camera, you can also add a photo of your reading(s) or you exercising.

5. If you have a Twitter account, you can also post your readings on Twitter (use the #bigbluetest hashtag) and link back to http://bigbluetest.org.
