Connee's Healthy Life Style!

I just found out I have Type 2 Diabetes, so I really do have to lead the good Healthy Life Style. I don't have to take medicine yet....I am trying to get better using weight control, healthy eating, and exercise. I think I can do this! I do have to use the blood meter to check my blood sugar each day. Also I am going to diabetes teaching classes. Carbrohydrates are both the good guys and the villians. They are necessary to fuel the body and they have to be controlled and spread out over your meals. It is hard because sweets and starches are carbrohydrates. I have to eat three meals, and three snacks at about the same time each day. I am trying to lose about 10 pounds. If you lose 5 to 7% of your body weight it is supposed to make a big difference. I don't want to take any more medicine so I am really trying!!!
