As many know I am a Type 2 diabetic. This condition is brought on by my obesity. So “technically” it is easy to deal with. But that isn’t always the case….I’ve been trying to control my sugar levels with a combination of oral meds, diet, and exercise with varying degrees of success for the past 8 years. Recently I started taking insulin. and it’s helped a lot with my control levels….
Also I’ve joined 2 “Biggest Loser” contests. One with a group of friends (8 people) where each one has contributed $50, so there is a $400 pot. We were running it from jan 1 to Apr 2, so it will be done soon. Also work is running another with $20 a head and 10 ppl, for a $200 pot.
So far I’ve gone from 259 to 244 so 15lbs lost. This has contributed to tighter blood control levels as well…
also last week I had an eye injury at work. I got something in my eye from the ambulance and got a corneal abrasion. It had me out of work for a few days and was pretty painful but should be resolved now…
I want to say Curt’s found that the insulin has helped him a lot as well now that he’s gone on it as well.
I’ve been trying to lose weight since I was diagnosed with arthritis. Ended up getting a severe cold about a month or so ago (probably bronchitis, never did get an appt with my PCP, she was too booked) and ended up loosing 20lbs since I had virtually no appetite for two weeks. (I basically had about 1 meal a day, either soup, or prime rib, that was about all I could handle eating.)
Nonny and I got married, if you hadn’t heard 🙂
Good to see you updating again. I hate being out of touch with so many people.
