      From Debbie66 January 29

      I'm so glad you had a great trip and a good visit with your father. I'm so jealous, i wish i could go to Hawaii too. Oh well, someday.... I'm glad you're working on your health, it's so important to everyone, and it's a stupid thing that this disease is the catalyst to make us sit up and pay attention. But i know i feel so much better and healthier just by changing my diet. I joined a gym today, and plan on being dilligent in attending. I've reached the point where i'm not concerned about what others think of me, just what i think of myself. I'm doing this for me. Hugs and kisses, take care..... Deb :0)

      Welcome to the site, i know you'll find lots of friends and support. I know it's a hard thing to find that you have this disease, and it's a continuous struggle, but i know you'll succeed. I've had this for two years now, and i think i've finally gotten a good solid handle on it, have been keeping my blood sugars down and am trying to do the right things. It's hard though, and full of tough decisions every day. Good luck, hugs and kisses. Deb :0)

      I am recently diagnosed, it's really thrown me...I am a really healthy person, long term vegitarian, within normal weight and trying to do this with diet and excercise. I'm pretty confused. That's just today. I will have a handle on this soon. I hope.

      Treatments

      Dietary Modification Too Soon to Tell
      I am getting really familiar with low glycemic foods, who would think that raisons or fresh papaya would be bad for me...they are.
      Eating Healthier Foods Too Soon to Tell
      I thought I was a healthy eater. Surpise....even more things to change!! It's all good. O.K. it's a little depressing too.
      Cassia Too Soon to Tell
      At least it tastes good!!
