I’m new here and have diabetes T2.
I’m afraid to share as my previous failed attempts to lose weight
make me very frustrated. I have boxes of clothing for when I lose weight
and others for when I’m fit. I’m going to be 59 on 3/12/2011. The dreaded 60 are
waiting around the corner. I have 6 grand kids.
A couple of weeks there was a lot of talking about a program called “50 days” to become fit.
I missed the chance to attend the first rally (self sabotage?)! Other co-workers started on it, but not me.
I think this set the feeling a bit. Went to the doctor and he preached about controlling my T2.
I never used the Meter or the strips provided by my health plan. He had checked me for T level
And found me too low on T. My Dr. placed me for a month now on Testosterone patch therapy.
My desire and motivation has increased. I’m on my second month. The patches sometimes need to be
reinforced with surgical tape. The reason I got into the T thing is because I saw a Dr. on a TV (FOX) health
section explaining that the onset of Alzheimer’s’ on men was found to be related to low levels of T?
So, out of the blue I asked my Dr. to include that test on my regular blood work ( he just has to put a
check marl and presto magic my T was extremely low!
Then I found this application for the I phone 4 for glucose tracking and what not! On the 6th, 2011
(super bowl day)! I decided to start another attempt to lose weight! The only difference is that I also
decided to check my blood once every night before bed! The measure on the 6th (1st day) was 257! I’m
back to eating 6 times a day. On 2/6/2011 my weight was 315! Today is the 10th. I think I’m doing better,
but I don’t want to find out yet!.
Starting hurts! I don’t want my co-workers to know! I don’t speak about dieting. The difference this time
Is that I started to diet not just to lose weight, this time is to keep my T2 under control to improve my
sexual life and live longer. I can’t believe I’m using the strips! Hopefully loosing weight will be a fringe
benefit! I hope this time the motivation or fear for my T2 will prevail! I have to get what it takes to start
walking.
The muse is gone for now!
