[QUOTE="Outlier, post: 2694071, member: 550046"] Hello and welcome. I am delighted you have found love, and commend you for taking such a realistic approach to health. We all inherit certain tendencies to this or that health problem, and not one of us has perfect health. We also, as a friend of mine used to say "can't see round corners". Anything can happen to any of us at any time. We can only do our best. Realistically, no-one is going to commit to something they hate or find difficult simply for a health concern, no matter how sensible that seems in abstract. If your young lady does not like exercise, it is useless to make her try and over the long term might damage your relationship. But exercise can take many forms, some of which don't even seem like exercise. For instance, you can go dancing, go for walks together, go shopping together. Lots more options for you to think about. I would recommend you read around the forum particularly for diet changes which can help keep blood glucose low, and are barely noticeable if you are both eating that way. Rather than suggesting what your beloved should eat, say that you have decided to eat more of this and less of that for your own health because you don't want your prospective children to lose their father to avoidable illness. It is a wonderful thing to find mutual love, and I am happy for you. [/QUOTE]
