Hello Everyone! I'm Jas from WA. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes back in late 2007. It was controlled by diet until my last HbA1C reading last month was around 8 and this was the second time my HbA1c was over 7. I was placed on Metformin but it made me violently ill so my doctor changed my medication to half of Diamicron 60 mg once a day and was told to increase to 1 tablet after next week. Apart from this tablet, I also am on high blood pressure, cholesterol tablets.
I am overweight for my height. I'm 5'3 and weighs 67 kilos. I work full time with a very stressful career and have 4 kids and a husband. During the weekends, I get very tired and I sleep almost most of the weekend. I have no energy to exercise though I know this is needed to bring down my high glucose level. I also have to watch what I eat, something I ignored for a number of years.
I am getting a bit depressed because at the moment, I'm feeling low, with no energy and recovering from the previous medication's side effect. If anyone one theres got any tips on anything that will give me motivation and energy to exercise, I will greatly appreciate it. Mind is willing but body wont' budge.
Looking forward to reading and participating in the forums. Take care everyone! :wave:
