Hello there. I am 31 years old, was diagnosed with T2 around late October 2010. I am coming up on my first dia-versary, and it's been one intensely difficult year.
I have been on a pretty strict "do everything right for diabetes" diet and exercise regime. The great news is that after the sixth month appointment, my general 'betes health and weight were highly improved and my family doctor was extremely happy with my numbers and overall progress, and had nothing but glowing… Continue

* Receiving $30 giftcard to Monaco (best nearly movie theatre) from parents-in-law for Easter instead of usual basket of easter candy. Very thoughtful alternative to holiday candy
* Having a nice sit-down lunch with my whole in-law family
* Watching old family movies of husband as a sweet mumbling 3-year-old opening christmas presents and… Continue

Hello, everybody. I'm totally new to tudiabetes and I hope I'm doing this blog thing right.
When I got diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in October of 2010 (a week before Holloween, which for me was like a slap from Satan), my husband and I wanted to find some way for me to keep up a regimented daily workout. I've never been the best at exercising before Diabetes, but now it's been a giant MUST for me.
Our quest to find a good workout system for me started out with my… Continue
