Hello! Fellow Texan here! Great job! keep up the good work :-)

I am quitting the booze for a while too. I hope it helps. My husband and I almost always quit for several months after new years.

I'd love to be support buddies. I am fighting to get back on track after a few weeks of indulgence....:smile:

Hi Lewis, I had gestational diabetes with both of my children and now am considered pre-diabetic. I don't take any medication......yet. From experience, I can tell you that with exercise and proper diet, type II diabetes is manageable, but it takes dedication. There are a lot of good diets for it out there, but the key is…
