I have gone through spurts when I was totally addicted to it. It's all about habit and getting into a routine. I'm not there at this time in my life. As you know, I do stay pretty active (as I know you do) but I guess it's all about cardio. :(<br /><br />hoping you can get off the meds, I know that is possible because I know people who are totally living a normal post diabetes life. <br /><br />keep up the good fight my friend!<br />gailMy Repurposed Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512074109759168987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-60362595159386978592015-06-13T13:20:07.490-05:002015-06-13T13:20:07.490-05:00I hope you are successful at getting off the medic...I hope you are successful at getting off the medication, and back to your healthy self. Hubby's sister was up for a kidney transplant twice, but both people donating were told "no" by doctors, including Hubby. She is on dialysis the rest of her life, and is told she is diabetes free now (after all these years). She regrets not eating right and not exercising.Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-50022411411344536262015-06-13T08:53:03.205-05:002015-06-13T08:53:03.205-05:00I was just diagnosed with ulceritive proctitis, a ...I was just diagnosed with ulceritive proctitis, a chronic autoimmune disorder that is irritable bowel disorder (not irritable bowel syndrome). I'll post about it in time but stress increases symptoms but does not cause it. I have to do a three week treatment (enemas!!!!) and then lie down all night. It's uncomfortable and you have bathroom issue, which I work outside the home so it can be embarrassing. Due to this, I also have to change how I am eating, counting not calories but fiber grams to help the bowel. I don't eat much meat, which is good because it has no fiber, but when we charted a couple of days menu, I was not getting enough fiber. Generally I was overly careful because I also have diverticulitis (when inflamed). So I would avoid some foods. He said to not worry about that but concentrate on the fiber so to manage it I keep an Excel spreadsheet. I work with Excel all day so it makes sense to me to keep my records there including a daily total, running total in addition to columns comparing the daily actuals to goal (12-15 grams/day) and a running % of goal. Once stabilized, hopefully in three weeks, I may add calories to that as well plus drop down categories to record how I feel on those days. If I create reports I might be able to see what foods affect me in certain ways. That's just how I would cope- plus being able to whine to my husband LOL. Maybe it would help you to chart your progress and symptoms to see if there are patterns.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-59995189538166784562015-06-13T08:05:15.598-05:002015-06-13T08:05:15.598-05:00I agree.....it is the person who has the diabetes ...I agree.....it is the person who has the diabetes that has the ability to control much of it.<br />Grandson 2 has Type 1 and he is only 16 years old.

I live alone and my diet is lousy as well.

He sometimes gets very low in the night to the point where she had to rush to the kitchen and get a sugared soda for him to drink. Make sure a couple of people know what to do if you can't take care of yourself! Maybe you can take up walking rather than normal exercises. You could listen to books on tape or there is a walking program on tape, or learn another language. I hate exercise too. I like it when I went to the Y but at home, even with similar equipment, I don't enjoy it much. Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.com
