Thanks so much for your encouragement. I know it will work out eventually. I am type 2 diabetic and have been diagnosed for 13 years. I was diet controlled before that for about 10 years so altogether it's been 23 years. I don't have anyone in my family with the disease and they are finding it hard to understand my concerns. I think they believe that I can turn this around on my own without insulin in spite of advice from the diabetic clinic. I am swimming three times a week for an hour each time (for about a month) and am more aware of what I'm eating and that may help but I still think I will need insulin. It was great to hear your story and to know that it will get easier as time goes on.
I had to register under my husband's name and address because I messed up the first attempt using my name and e-mail and then the site wouldn't allow that e-mail address to be used again...something I know I must have done wrong. I am not very computer literate but I don't want to mislead anyone. It is due to my inexperience on the computer. Hope you understand
I have tried again today to re-register under my name, Maureen, and am just waiting to hear back from the site .
Thank you again for your kind concern ...It has helped. I'm sure in the near future I will need more reassurance.
