Hi everyone,

I'm a Type 2 diabetic. I've had diabetes for a number of years. It's just become out of control the last few years. On top of diabetes I also have high blood pressure, anxiety and suffer from migraines. Life has thrown me some curves lately. I've been suffering from a complicated migraine, which for a week and a half, I don't remember anything. I also am a 2nd grade teacher. I really need support on eating right, and not overeating. Tonight was the first night I've exercised in a long time, and I only made it 27 minutes. I can use all the support I can get.

    Babs,

    Welcome to the group. Congrats on making a commitment to healthy eating, and to getting started on exercise. 27 minutes isn't bad for a start. It sounds like even though some things are out of your control in your life, that you are controlling the things you can. This group has a lot of wisdom and support to offer. The best of luck to you on your journey.

    Do you know what causes your migraines?

    Welcome to the group and MSP... You will get lots of help/motivation here. If you want to add me as a friend, please do. I also ahve an open food diary. Also 27min is pretty good for just starting out with exercise .

    The doctor thinks anxiety has been causing this round. I think it's stress. I've suffered from migraines since I was about 11. I deal with them, but I'm hoping if I can get everything under control, they will cease. :smile:

    Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome. I took my fasting blood level this morning and it was 171. That's the highest it's been in a couple of weeks. I forgot to take my medicine yesterday, so hopefully today will be a better day.
