For past two months I have been walking faithfully, a couple of miles, 5 to 7 times a week. I'm so grateful that I can
EXERCISE!!
It is wonderful to see the numbers on the scale go down!! I feel so much better about myself. The other really remarkable thing is that my blood sugar is much improved. You see I have type 2 diabetes and things were getting a little out of control. My fasting blood sugar was in the high 140's. Now that I'm walking more my fasting blood sugar is in the 110's or lower. I like that number much better. The doctor had me start on medication to control the diabetes, but I didn't like that, it made my heart do funny things and I stopped taking it. So, I'm very happy to control it by just exercising! Of course I have to watch what I eat too!! It amazes me how wonderful are bodies are and when we do the right things for our bodies, our bodies take better care of us!!

Great blessing Cindy! I'm having lots of trouble with my foot again so I haven't been able to exercise for about a month but I hope to get back into it soon. My mother-in-law has diabetes too and she walks every day. She is like you- if she watches what she eats and exercises, she doesn't need meds. I know someone else who is always hooked up to a pump. She has had Diabetes for YEARS and she's like my age.
Good job Cindy...if it were not so humid here I would like to walk.
Way to go! I need to exercise,but I'm lazy!
