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...
I'm so excited. Now that I'm watching my carbs and eating the way I'm supposed to with my Diabetes Type 2; the weight is coming off again. I released 2.4 pounds during the past 7 days. Yay! Now if I can just get those morning fasting Blood glucose levels down; I'd be a really happy camper.
I also invested in something called a Striiv off of HSN. I started using it on Sunday and have found it to be really motivating on getting me to get more steps in. I'm a "gadget" kind of gal; so this was right up my alley. I really liked the instant gratification with the trophys, challenges etc that this glorified pedometer presented. I also liked that it counted steps when I was riding my exercise bike. That was a really nice bonus!
Anxiety level continues to rarely be a problem recently and I'm enjoying that. Usually around the holidays it picks up but the most I've had is very low key and I just go ahead and keep doing what I schedule myself to do. If I had avoided a couple of things that had me anxious; I would have missed out on a whole lot of fun and laughter so I'm glad I went anyway.
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! Linda
