With summer upon us, many people begin to think about their figures, how they might look in a bathing suit. While I am not too concerned about how my bikini will fit me, I am thinking a lot about how my weight has effected me. I am 6' 2" and weigh 260lbs. I am about 50 pounds over weight. I love a good meal as you can tell. However, 2 years ago I was diagnosed with adult onset type 2 diabetes. My Dr. put me on some meds and told me to loose weight. I did so. I lost almost 60lbs. But.....over time, my habits returned and I put some of it back on. I went to see the Dr. again this week and got into some trouble. My glucose levels have come up and it would seem I am beyond what pills can do. I am now taking injections twice a day. The meds make me feel a bit sick, but I think they are working. My sugars are lower already. Please pray for me as I work on my eating habits and change my lifestyle. Also pray for my family as they will be be changing theirs as well to prevent it from happening to them. If I can get down to 210 or under and maintain that, I can come off of the meds entirely. But I have to seriously limit my glucose intake for the rest of my life. 1500 calories a day. That is it. That is like 2 double cheeseburgers at McDonalds. So far so good, I have already lost 4 pounds this week. The meds cause that. If anyone in interested in shedding a few pounds with me, let me know as I could use the support. Have a great day. --DJ
