Almost two years ago, I started a nutritional/exercise plan.
--1600cals/180 carbs per day
--walked 2 to 5 or more miles a
day (dog helps)
--stopped all alcohol & soft drinks
--recorded meals, cals, carbs,
exercises, weight
(use iPhone apps)
Results:
-- down almost 65 lbs
-- off Humalog
-- off Lantus (only take Metformin)
-- improved gl and a1c
-- improved cardio/pulmonary
functions
It was difficult at first, but the gradual weight loss motivated me to continue. I only regret not starting earlier. BTW, both the nutrition and exercise components are important for success.
