And all the wonderful things that can moniter diabetes! So different ages ago. Even diabetes education classes!

One of the things it illustrates is the benefit of regular checkups and blood tests with your doctor - you've caught this swiftly and immediately made changes to adapt. So sorry to hear about the moratorium on baking - that's tough. But 20 pounds lost - hey, that's terrific! Paradoxically, the diet you're eating now and the exercise you're doing with the Devil's Footplate (;-) mean that you are doing really well health wise, especially if further weight loss continues. My dear great aunt has late onset diabetes (diagnosed in her mid 80s) but has managed to control it with good weight management and diet, so that she now occasionally allows herself a treat when on holiday or at Christmas, and doesn't actually need any specific meds on a daily basis. She is now a very perky 92. Good luck with the continuing adaptations.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445523916405603705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467165355495178226.post-66856360987910333172010-04-03T11:31:16.066-04:002010-04-03T11:31:16.066-04:00So sorry to hear that.

My husband didn't and now has some of the side effects. I know you will do great with your determination. <br /><br />About the car...too bad an over the counter pill couldn't take care of that!!!G'G'mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219555579054985607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467165355495178226.post-1780250642761517842010-04-03T08:52:52.628-04:002010-04-03T08:52:52.628-04:00Wow, what a blind side, huh?
