There is no mystery to weight loss -- and no virtue in my activities.I am simply trying to avert the awful long term outcome of untreated type 2 diabetes -- blindness, kidney failure, amputation,...

Working and working out ... Woo

With less spikes. Woo!

I have been hovering around this weight for a bit ... getting comfortable. I started working, that will cause me to shed pounds.

My wife came home with a great recioe for turkey burgers last night> Fresh sage, Basil, orange peel, bit of orange concentrate mixed with ground turkey ... on the stove top & steamed Brussel sprouts...

Well, all good things to those who wait.  Metformin is helping ...

Despite a small hiccup in yesterday's readings, I am feeling good, the BG is on target and I am sticking closely to the diet plan. I need to exercise more -- but it is F'ING HOT! So --- light...

HDL and LDL good.A1C 6.9% -- not at all shabby! Doc says, "Good job -- keep doing what you are doing." W00t!

I'm not sureI understand this .... I take Metformin XR and I watch my glucose levels sorta go up and down with that. But it is controlled release ... so ... wtf? Anyway -- test more, eat more...

Not much to say --- just not doing it.   

Lost 10 pounds since last visit.  Glucose levels are good, blood pressure is good. Pain in feet continues, numbness in hands. Alpha lipoic acid is supposed to help. We'll see.

Damn scale

I was all over the place last week. Entirely stress and illness (summer cold) related. Getting back on track.

Weighed in at 259 this morning. It was an easy 11 pounds to lose ... quick. Now the difficult task -- keep that weight off and keep losing at a slower rate. Walks, healthy eating, aerobics ... one...

Sick in bed for a few days ... barely did anything but sleep. Seem to have plateaued at 270.  Ok -- 70 pounds to go!
