Hi everyone,
After looking around on this site, I am so inspired! I'm 40, married wityh 2 kids ages 4 1/2 & 2 1/2. I recently went to the doc ( On Monday) He took blood work and called me to tell me he was not thrilled with the results- My blood sugar was 292. I am overweight. I am on BP med (Benicar) and he now wants me to take Metformin Hcl 500mg 1 pill around dinner time a day for 2 weeks and see where we are at then go up to 2 pills a day. I made a commitment to myself to change my lifestyle. So although he said I am not diabetic- I am certainly on my way unless I start changing things aroumd.
After looking around this site, I took so many ideas and started my own list- A shopping list of foods to get, go low on carbs. etc...
I know this wont be easy, but I have to do this for me, for my husband and especially for my kids.
thats it for now.. If anyone has any suggestions or tips on getting started, please feel free to interject. Thanks for listening!
