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!
