  • Morning all! Welcome Sonia and Gunswife! I am 48 and have been diabetic for 18 years. The best thing you can do is get knowledge and try to change something each month to work towards your goals. It is difficult sometimes, but you can do it.

    Gunswife, if you have trouble doing your exercise, my mother-in-law gave me some good advise once, she said walk 10 minutes after each meal, it will help lower your bloodsugar. I know it is not the full work out they say we need, but it will help with the bloodsugar levels. If you are in pain, this might be a way of getting around that part.

    Goodluck to both of you and I will help in anyway I can! READ!!!! :happy:
  • Thanks everyone for all the info. I am doing best and thats all I have right now. I am an avid reader and love to research everything going on with me.

    Thanks again for al lthe well wishes ladies!

    PS I'm Gunswife AND Sonia lol. "i am gunz" is my husband, hence Gunswife but IRL my name is Sonia :happy:

    Hi Sonia, You worked nights? Get plenty of rest today. Your rest is just about as inportant enough as you food intake and your exercise . Its takes a balance of all 3. Have a good day...........Calie

    Good morning everybody,
    A rather chilli morning down here in Texas. feels great after a long hot cummer.

    I am thinking about dropping this thread when we reach 500, It hasn't grown much. I love hearing from you guys on what you think or if someone else would like to take it over. give me your take on it. Maybe someone else can get it to grow.
