  • Hello,
    I am new here I am a Diabetec. I had to go to a pain mangement in Feb. because of the pain.
    I have arthiris everywhere. I am Diabetec.
    I have Severe Refulxe Disease
    I have chronic pain.
    I have no muscle tone.
    Several other conditions.

    My pain doctor has told me, I need to go on a high protien dite. I have and to get more.
    I started drinking the Akatins Shakes. and I have lost 13 lbs. I need to lose a lot more. I lost almost 5o lbs. last year.

    I do strengthenig excersises with a 2 lb. weights. 15 or so diffterent strengthening excersises and ride a statianry bike for 18 mintues.

    I cannot walk outside because of falling. I fell 3 times last summer.
    I have been excersing for over 10 years or more. I thought this was to build up muscle tone.
    I aslo know that Diabetecs have problems with muscle tones.
    I hope to get to know you all soon and Hope to loose more weight.

    Questions. Is there a Diabetect form here anywhere? Thanks PINKROSES
