- In March I started dating an older man after many years without a sexual or emotional relationship. It was difficult (physically and psychologically) opening myself up and sharing. His demands were excessive and still are. He was 81 (soon to be 82)...
- Although I haven't posted very often on the Healthy Relationships or Healthy Sex forums, I do read them a lot. And my friends have been tracking my journals in which I've discussed my current relationship quite frequently. My lover and I are both...

- Let's just say that I'm not asking for "permission" or "encouragement" to end it with this guy. It's been a long, long time since I've dated. Being older, heavyset, and disabled, men are not beating a path to my door. Not that I will tolerate ABUSE,...
- Over the past 2 years my Fasting Blood Glucose continued to edge up. After being in the low 90's, then the upper 90's, it jumped to 110 and I was pre-diabetic. Next two readings were 105 and 106. Then the shocker!!! Last time it had jumped to 126,...
- My 60's flew by and were not too happy. Both parents and a beloved pet passed away, was hospitalized four times for bipolar (two with suicide attempts), so the remainder of the decade was spent in recovery. Until recently I wasn't thinking about...
- This is sorta off topic, but I'm gonna post it anyhow.On many of the boards, people who are lonely or depressed state that other people pick on them, criticize them, disrespect them and they take it to heart.When someone criticizes you, CONSIDER THE...
- For a long time, my fasting blood sugar was in the low 90's. Then it crept up to higher 90's. About a year ago it jumped to 110, next time 105, most recent 106. I don't like it going into the pre-diabetic range.What mystifies me is WHY it would jump...
- I am a 69 year-old senior who doesn't get out much due to agoraphobia, social (and general) anxiety, plus a disabled foot that requires walking with a cane and entails the danger of falling.My brother-in-law called me last week and invited me to go...
- Hi, just reporting my dieting result for January, 2015. I set up a goal to lose 40 lbs. this year. If I lose 3.3 lbs. per month, I will make the goal. Well, in January I lost 4.2 lbs. and I'm pleased. I am 69 years old, which makes dieting tough. I...
- Hi, I have come back to this Support Group to post and reply, but I do not want to take on the task of being an individual's buddy. It became too stressful for me and it wasn't helping. But this Support Group itself can be very helpful, so please...
- An elderly man was sitting on a park bench sobbing his eyes out. A concerned woman tried to comfort him, but she didn't know what was wrong. "Why are you crying?" she asked. He said, "I'm married to a beautiful 22 year old woman. She cooks me...
- Was sent an advertisement from Bottom Line Books for a book called 30 Day Diabetes Cure. Anybody else read it? Of course a lot of the information we know already! Avoid all types of sugar and high fructose. Eat "whole foods" rather than processed...
- Hi friends, I have all the risk factors for Type 2 and my fasting blood sugar has been slightly over 100. I did have gestational diabetes when pregnant with my son. So I'm working to lower my FBS number and also my number on the scale.Although my...
- Practically everyone in my family had blood sugar issues, whether hypoglycemia, Type 2 diabetes, or Type 1 diabetes. Grandmother and her twin (who died with Type 1), my two uncles (grandma's sons), my cousin (uncle's daughter). I myself had...
