    Hey, Bill. I'm a T2 diabetic, 27-year-old, stay at home mom. I was diagnosed in October 2002. Managing your sugar levels is a challenge, for sure, but with the right diet & exercise, and commitment, it becomes a breeze. I maintained an hA1c under 6 for the latter half of my pregnancy of my first baby who is now almost 17 months old. After that, I really let my sugar go and started having problems. Now I'm determined to get it back under control. Having an hA1c of 5.6 was such an awesome feeling, I want to get it back down there.
    Welcome to MFP, it's so much fun, and the folks here are so supportive.

    thanks for the respond, I still don't understand how the program works, add my food in but it's not exactly right the right time to put in, I hardly exercise, but I'm not motivated at all, most of my moving work at the personal care home as a dishwasher, my doctor and my mom say you not enough exercise just by working at personal care home, round food all the time, but this is the first step for me to eat better and exercise, even if exercise on exercise bike five minutes I know it's not enough exercise but I'm lazy, but I hope I can get out of this being lazy, I'm mainly a PC compute geek love my PC games and sleep, but I hope this program would change my attitude how I think about food and exercising more, wish me luck. P,s we something in common

    My husband & I love gaming as well. I recently bought a wii and a couple of exercise games, and I feel they make you exercise really well. They are a lot of fun. If you can afford to, save up for one, plus wii fit plus, wii biggest loser, and wii jillian michaels fitness ultimatum 2010. Those should get you moving and help you start your path to a healthier you.
    Make sure you drink tons of water throughout the day (I usually drink 90-120 oz a day), and make smart choices when you eat-- lots of fruit & veggies! I've gone from carnivore to craving veggies in just a few short weeks.
    Hope that helps & good luck!
