Your goodwill means everything to me. <br /><br />Judy- You CAN do it. You have the smarts to have started adjusting to your new reality without waiting to see the doctor. The gym has been a huge help for me. Today I ate- then worked out- and my blood sugar was even better after a little sweat than before. Since you mention pain issues- find one with good trainers- ask your doctor if a physical therapist might be a good idea. They can help you get a good start without getting hurt.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215242522396155812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-17495159461907449772009-07-11T19:12:16.448-07:002009-07-11T19:12:16.448-07:00Dear Lydia,
Well I've not formally been told ...Dear Lydia,<br /><br />Well I've not formally been told that I have diabetes, yet, I was told nearly 2 weeks ago that my blood sugar was 184 after 2 hours of eating. Not great news. As my dad was on insulin and my mother was on pills and my brother currently is on pills for the monster, I know it's arrived to try and consume me as well. <br /><br />I'm currently researching endocrinologists that are board certified and are in a decent travel distance from my home. I'm sure when I find one, the first thing will be the glucose test. In the meantime, I've been trying to do what I know I should do: eliminate all possible sugar and try to avoid anything white! I've lost a few pounds, but still feel very tired most of the time.<br /><br />Your article has stimulated my copy cat response, though. I'm motivated to at least go take a walk. I know how important the exercise is. Just haven't been disciplined because of the pain factor I endure every day. But, again, I'm motivated and will now get up and go out and take a walk for a couple of blocks at least.<br /><br />Hopefully, we can help keep one another honest in our combined battle.<br /><br />Wishing you (and I) every success.<br /><br />Judy Duvall<br />Seal Beach, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-49318491258911750412009-07-10T10:18:50.913-07:002009-07-10T10:18:50.913-07:00Lydia,

So far, I have been blessed with good health and for that I thank God. Just in case something creeps up on me, and no doubt it will in my very old age, I will remember your words and your fighting spirit!<br /><br />With love and good wishes and prayers go out to you!<br />Hugs,<br />TrishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
