[QUOTE="marzak, post: 2228529, member: 506613"] I think the advice from AttilaN is spot on. You must overcome your reluctance to exercise! You can do biceps curls in the house with full bean tins (kidney beans or other in water of course!!) and work your way up to other heavier things. You can do planks and sit ups and press ups on your own. Just start and build up. Running is free, walking is free (some diabetics have very happy dogs!) and cycling is an option too. Outside is so good for us too. I'm a big fan of apple cider vinegar and a v small occasional glass of red wine. The exercise will help with your insulin resistance. I agree that being permanently hungry for 18 hours a day is not ideal and certainly not pleasant. I try to stop any eating at 8pm but if I've been out running earlier after work I have to have a few nuts/hummus and raw carrot to make sure I can sleep. I always walk dog after dinner whatever time that is and/or do a few little weights and floor exercise in house. I am same age as you... That exercise needs to worm its way into your life and stay there!!! You can do it. Sorry I know nothing about metformin and would rather I never do! Hope this is encouraging for you though. [/QUOTE]
