in Introduce Yourself
hi everyone. I'm a old member getting back to it. Mainly because I now have diabetes and I'm determined to manage through diet. I am disabled with bad back and leg. But I can walk and move. So that's what I'm up to. Friends are always a bonus to help share ideas.

    I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago and would like to have a few friends that are going through the same struggles.

    I am diabetic but recently became ill, I am getting better every day and will be back to work soon thank goodness. During my illness ( 5 hospitalizations over 9 weeks for a 3 day procedure for a kidney staghorn calculus) I lost almost 50 lbs. I am down to 62 lbs via diet only and completely of any diabetic medication. My point is, it can be done, even if I started losing the wrong way. I hope to start walking soon, esp when it is cooler!!

    My Dad's a diabetic and it's been a pita for him, I cook dinners for my family and I'm always trying to find good meals for him. I'll add you and hopefully we can share ideas (:
