I'll be 73 yrs old on April 2019. My height is 5' 2". I've never gain more than 105 lbs. except when was pregnant I've gained 20 lbs. My first born was 8 lbs. and 2.5 ounces and the second one 7 lbs. 8 ounces. After a few weeks, I regained my usual weight. I'm curently taking Diamicron MR 30MG in the morning and Janumet XR 50/1000 MG in the evening; 1 tablet ea per day. All my six siblings have diabetes type 2 also; it's hereditary. I try to do workouts 3X a week - using dumbells 10 lbs. each, going up and down the stairs (14 steps each floor) for 15 minutes, do mild push ups, etc. I read a lot about this illness (still reading) and about glycemic index, and I make sure what I'm reading are from reliable sources. I'm careful of what I'm eating ... of course, with temptations around, it's hard. I believe the two most important traits of someone who has diabetes or (or even without diabetes) is knowledge and discipline. Attached is my picture taken last year, December 2018.
