Some would say a good walk in the fresh air will do you the world of good and perhaps they are right,but after a massive heart attack and having diabetes prostrate and arthritic pains even standing up some days is a real challenge for me,my mind is racing to go my muscles are charged but the effort of just getting up from a sitting position tires me out especially when I go light headed having 18.5 stone fall on you from 6 foot can be dangerous as my dog once found out.
I was hoping being on victoza the weight would just drop off but there is not magical cure for being over weight the battle is to be fought in your mind no matter how much advice you get and there is plenty of it, if you cannot grasp the problen yourself and are willing to sacrifice the food you know is doing you no good the battle is already lost.
Like smoking I smoked like a cimney sorry about the spelling rally need a spell checker on tudiabetes for folks like me,when the doctor told me I had diabetes I really thought it was the endand to be honest I had no idea waht the disease was how to deal with it and what future if any there was for me,I was diagnosed in 1995 so 15 years have sailed by and if I am honest my knowledge and understanding is not much more than that June day the doctor told me I was diabetec, I read a lot follow blogs ont he condition but not much sinks in I really believe closer monitoring by proffessions is required , in my mind I have walkec the Inca trail climbed to base camp on everest and walked through parts of the amazon forrest but in reality the best I can achieve is a 10 minute walk that takes me an hour, look I am not moaning all thought it sounds like it smoking 40 fags a day for 20 years did me no good at all in fact it stopped my life in its tracks.
Victoza was prescribed because my diabetes was really out of control at the beginning I lost my appetite and felt great but I seem to be back to old habbits and get hungry a lot lately when I see the specialist next I will tell him but there it goes again my will the need to understand controlling the diabetes and the food intake and what I eat and when is all part of the understanding to better health or at least keeping my foot on the peddle.
