Wink The scale said 210.8

Hello everyone,

My name is Michelle, I'm 37 and I weigh 210.8 according to my doctors scale. I see my doctor frequently as I am T2 diabetic, hypertensive and have high cholesterol, the diabetes and HBP controlled by meds, the cholesterol NOT controlled. My doctor had me taking Niacin, but todays number was 267. Eeeek. I have been diabetic since 2001, it's in my family, so I requested from my doctor a complete glucose intolerance test.

Today at my appointment, I just met with the MA, but she read me my results and said the doctor wants to talk to me about possible kidney problems (I had to pee in a cup when I had labs done). Boy, I wasn't expecting that. Guess THAT finally made me wake up. I NEED to get this weight under control. I have not been this heavy...FAT...in several years, recently gaining 10 lbs since the holidays.

I recently ( 2/07/07) started exercising for 1 hour daily, I'm on a roll since I have done 1 hour every day except last night, I only did 1/2 hour. But, after todays appt, I am stepping things up. Diet, exercise...I will NOT let this (insert explicitive here) get the best of me.

Sorry to ramble...there's a lot more about me...I'm not just a diabetic. I'm fun, young and want to meet lots and LOTS of people who are here to succeed!

Hi Michelle -

Don't worry about the rambling! We have a thriving diabetes support forum here, as well as lots of support for people in your age group (the 30 somethings group) and for any diet plan under the sun, so look around, settle in, and keep posting!

Hope to hear more from you soon!

Amanda

Hi, we all ramble sooner or later. My DH thinks it's a female condition, with no cure. There is lots of support here. My two cents is keep a food, exercise, weight journal. Either in a notebook or online, fitday.com it's free.
Good luck and keep posting and reading. I've learned something everyday.
