New member needs to get control of Type 2 Diabetes.

I was headed toward diabetes which is what motivated me to get serious about my weight/health. I joined a program that helps you learn and implement life style changes to prevent diabetes. I have learned how important exercise is and I do some form of exercise almost every day. I use a lot of Youtube workouts for seinors, walking and yoga.
I also have greatly reduced the amount of processed foods I eat. Instead of buying flavored yogurt I buy plain Greek yogurt and add my own fruit to it. I use a lot more fruits and vegetables. A favorite treat is a smoothie made with plain Greek yogurt, frozen fruit , 1/2 a banana and a little almond milk and sometimes some oatmeal. A cheese stick and a couple of clemetines are a snack that will hold me for quite awhile. If I eat a salad I dip a few bites into the dressing rather than putting dressing all over my salad. I find I don't crave the foods that I used to, I really want the healthy choices. I do eat treats but if I know I am going to have a treat I am more careful about other choices I make.
