Hi
My name is Marie and I am hoping to lose weight (aren't we all). I am a 57 year old grandmother who has recently quit smoking. I gained 26 pounds and am now ready to lose that weight plus. I also have diabetes so I have to be conscious of that while I lose weight. Insulin control is key for me during this process. I am counting my carbs because of my insulin, but I am also very active outdoors and so have to take half the dose when we are active so that my blood sugar doesn't go low. Because we have just started outdoors again with the spring weather, right now it is a guessing game with my carbs and insulin. So far so good. Well, I guess that is all for now. I hope I am successful, and I thank my friend P@t for telling me about this group.
Hugs,
Marie
