At my last diabetes check, the reduction in blood sugar (or whatever it is they measure), wasn't enough for my doctor. She doesn't lecture about it, she just says she's disappointed in the result i.e. it's all my fault (which it is). She did increase my medication which is never a good thing.
I decided to start some regular exercise so now walk 6kms every day up and over a rather savage hill. ( about 1km in length for a 100 metre height gain - 10% gradient) Not as hard to do now as the first day but still a hard slog, especially when there's snow on the ground. A few hours standing up in the shed every day rather than sitting at the computer has to help.
I've also been paying attention to my diet by, mostly, reducing the amount I eat rather than radical changes to what I eat. The only exception is to eat more seafood, scallops and salmon are pretty cheap in Tassie at the moment. Best thing is that I'm not hungry so no snacking - there's an unopened packet of Tim Tams in the cupboard to prove it!
While weight loss wasn't the goal in all this but I've managed to drop 9 kgs in the last 4 weeks. If I keep it up that rate, I'll disappear by Christmas :)
I'll give myself a pat on the back as I can reach it now. :-
