Latest reading this morning was a disappointing 10.4. I have been slacking off on the exercise with the cold weather here but hoping to get the motivation to get back on track.

Hey folks still struggling a bit here with a 10.1 this morning. Could be worse but wish it was better :confused: I have been trying to keep up with at least 5000 steps a day but I have slacked off a bit since my legs are extra swollen from the cold weather.

Well amazingly I was down to 171 (9.5) despite not eating the healthiest the past week. I have been doing everything I can to get 5000 steps in a day so maybe that and the water aerobics is helping. Now if only the number on the scale would start to drop. :rolleyes: Either way I'm happy with...

OMG I hate those things. I have skin tags on my neck and they are SOOO annoying. I thought they were hereditary but I guess maybe tied to diabetes from what I am reading here. I also have the dark skin patches around my neck and armpits but I already knew that was tied to diabetes.

Yes my doc has been on me to get more excercise and lose weight. Guess I have something to try now! Sadly I have some bad habits that are hard to break. :-(

Thanks Ken. I am hoping you are correct that lowering my sugar will help with the swelling. It can be quite uncomfortable at times. Thankfully I only have swelling in my legs and to a lesser degree my arms. I do hate the diuretics that seem to make me pee every 30 minutes. Thanks again for...

Not great news here. Latest reading was 10.3 so have some work to do. :confused: I have been trying to eat low(er) carb but with Thanksgiving (US) and now Christmas it's a bad time for eating better. I have started attending a water aerobics group so hopefully that will help out (and get me...

Hopefully this is the right section for this question but here it goes. Does anybody here have lymphedema and diabetes? I have had had swelling issues in my legs since my late 20s which have gotten worse over time. I was wondering if there was a connection with diabetes and if anybody had any...

I know my weight can change wildly within the same day. Sometimes like 5-7 lbs. Not sure it's my scale but I do retain water in my legs so maybe that affects it. Still weighing everyday isn't really meaningful.

10.2 this morning and down 6 lbs total. Small victories I guess!

Here's to a great second half of my 30's (just turned 36 last week)!

I am 35F with a fasting glucose around 10.3/last A1C was 68. Diagnosed around 5 years ago with T2. However I know that I am on the younger side and I was wondering how long I can expect to stay relatively complication free? So far I have no had any serious complications (more annoying than...

Thanks for the encouragement. It just seems to be such slow progress when I am feel I am putting in SO much effort. Hopefully it will pay off soon :-)

Hey everyone. Been working on getting 5000 steps most days and am down 4 lbs since last month. Fasting blood sugar is still not where I would like it but down a little 10.3. :mad:

Yeah sadly I did the conversion and I'm quite a bit over that. Guess im doing the walking for now to see what happens. Maybe I will get there someday!
