Introduction Text The time has come to stop procrastinating and get serious about my health. The diagnosis that I knew was coming for 18 years, since my 3rd pregnancy, has happened. I am diabetic. I had several of the factors - aging, overweight (obese actually), gestational diabetic twice and large babies. I didn't realize all the potential health risks that go with this - blindness, amputation of limbs, stroke, heart attacks. So time to get serious - lose about 100 lbs, exercise daily, eat a controlled food plan. If I do all this, I am hoping that I can get off meds for awhile. There is no cure and eventually the meds will be back but if I can delay that for a bit, I will be very happy. UPDATE - Effective May 27, 2014 I am off all meds as my A1C was lowered to 5.6. I have been able to maintain good BS nos. for 2 weeks now.

Having been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I want to have my BS in the normal range, BP maintained below 130/80, lower cholesterol and get to a healthy weight. Diabetes meds free - May 27/14

Using SP diabetic nutrition tracker and Paleo food plans, adding a minimum of 10 min exercise daily (but aim for 20 as a minimum) and meditating daily.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I am married with 3 boys aged 17 to 24 who all live at home. We have 2 dogs - both German Shepard crosses from the Humane Society
