Not much to say. I am 56, weigh 200. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Dec of 2007. I was initially put on insulin because of a fasting blood sugar of over 500. I am now off the insulin by my choice and working hard to get myself off the oral meds by diet and excercise..but it is a real challenge. For me I know that my weight is a major key to controlling my diabetes and avoiding complications. So I have an incentive...lol.
