[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2169735, member: 365308"] I'd just add that food/exercise might have unwittingly got you to where you are now but the great news is that they will help you get out of it too. Medication will only ever treat your symptoms (high blood sugar) but [U]not[/U] the underlying cause (too much insulin hence insulin resistance). If you were my mum/aunt/sister or daughter I would suggest focusing on the low carb diet before adding anything more than gentle strolling into the exercise mix. Movement is great for general health and well being but when you are ready it would be good to do some weights to build muscle so that you can further improve your insulin resistance. Once you change your diet you should feel a lot more energetic anyway. That is my take as an 'exercise professional' anyway. Mr Fung's book is a great read as recommended above and you can also listen to it on Audible. Helps if you are working FT! For a flavour of this check him out on YouTube via the DietDoctor site (low carb site) [MEDIA=youtube]Ekqq6DE8vGE[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
