> Sorry to be hard on you Dinah, but you are just so young to let your health go.
>Dinah, I just wanted to add one thing to Pfinstegg's list: exercise. I know you hate it, but I think without it the diet and metformin probably isn't enough. I'm assuming here that you have Type 2, since you don't take insulin, and with Type 2 you're more likely to be at risk of cardio-vascular problems. Obviously, exercise is good for your heart and lungs as well as your glucose levels.
Can you listen to books on tape while you ride that exercise bike? Might be a kind of compromise.
I can understand that you feel other things trump your diabetes. But diabetes is a systemic disease and can affect almost everything: teeth, nerves, eyesight, mental health... you name it!
Maybe my ulterior motive is to keep you as healthy as possible so you can keep babbling! Mwahahahaha... :)
Hugs,
Tamar
