Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
Just want to toot my horn.
I went to the doctor's today.
My A1c is 5.3 and I have officially lost 28.5 pounds since June 1st, 2007.
Now just have to work on the High Blood Pressure.
It is running around 140/78 and he wants it at 130/80.
Although he let me leave without any new medication so how does he expect it to improve? Hey I was running 180/90 in February so that's have improved.
Thanks for listening!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
As for the bloodpressure; my Dr suggested a baby apsirin once a day. Check and see if it is ok for you. You could also try not adding extra salt at the table. Try putting a set of spices on your table to choose from. Mrs. Dash works for my family. There are other spice combos that you might like that do not have salt in them.
I'm truly thrilled for you. Getting your number under 6.0 is a grand accomplishment. I'm sure the BP numbers will continue to drop too as your health continues to improve.
best,
