    Rossergirl: I am type 2 diabetic and have been for a few years now. I have never been on any meds. Weight loss is the key. Get that weight off and your numbers will improve. I can't express any more that EXERCISE is key. Your belly fat will subside with exercise.
    I have beat type 2 after losing 24 pounds. You will see results on your next check up.
    Any questions, I will help you.

    Hey everyone! I didn't catch up on all the posts but caught a few of the 'add ons'. Glad to see everyone is working hard on their weight loss and so supportive of each other. Good to get acquainted with the newbies and welcome to our group. We've been crazy busy but things are starting to slow down for me in the next few weeks. Shingles are much improved and ready for our new life of retirement at the end of the month! :D Life is good! <3
