Hello, I am new to this forum. I was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. When my doctor was explaining it over the phone to me I was in another world when she said I had Type 2 diabetes; I didn't understand or hear anything she said after that. I go my monitor and strips, I don't know how often I am suppose to check or what I am looking at. I guess I need to contact her and have her explain all that I need to know...huh? I am 52, over weight, cholesterol and tryglycerites are high, my thyroid is good and so is my blood pressure; I am on meds for all.
What do I need to do besides the normal of exercising, of which, I don't have energy to get started, eat right, I am trying that and ......? I have been walking more and riding my bike, but I live in Florida which makes me miserable being outside in the heat and humidity. I don't smoke....
) My father was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, it runs on my fathers side of the family, but none of my siblings have it yet...I guess they need to worry too?
I am looking on line to find a good site for recipes, nothing too difficult to make, as I was a meat and potatos type of person. Is Italian and Chinese good for you?
