Hi, I just joined this group.

Hi everyone, I just joined this group, but I am only 36 so I am hoping the "over 40" thing is more of a recommendation than a strict rule... especially as the other group I was looking at only goes up to 35, so I am kind of caught in the middle...

Anyway, I have had Type II diabetes for about six years and when I was first diagnosed I was taking insulin shots, and now just take a low dose of Glucovance in the morning and evening... my sugars are quite stable and normal and i'm hoping if i can lose a significant amount of weight that maybe I can get off the pills altogether.... my sugar consumption needs work and logging all my food is a good start, but i would like to learn as much as I can and really get healthy.

My name is Joe and I line in MA just outside of Boston.
