Kelly, my wife is not interested in the gym. She is so active at home and in the neighborhood, she does not need exercise machines. There is never an absolute certainty about the AN, but all evidence points to that.
Sounds good Dick!
Terrie, your seat will be next to my wife and me.
BTW, I know you have my numberā¦you were not thinking about giving my wife a call, were you?
LOL!!!
Robert, I wish I could do a marathon. I guess I will stick to my gym.
All of my friends are invited to my party!!!
Thanks so much Manny, I hope you live to be 100 too!!
Letās hope she stays active and doesnāt decide to pop in! The more I read about it, the more I am convinced that is my problem also. One thing they said is that your pupils are slow to dilate. When I was at the eye doctor last year, he told me that about me. I did not realize that was a problem related to AN a the time. I will bring that up with him when I see him again.
Thanks Brunetta, of course I was just flexing the truth, I am full of fun and ny wife knows that.
Thanks Varena!
Yep, gotta have that motivation. Thanks!
Thanks Robyn!
I bad!! Yep, but teasing my wife is one of my specialities. She did not believe what I said about my trainer. We laughed about it. Lol!
Hi Gerri. My wife knows the whole deal, I love to tease her. Sh is a good sport!
Sucks and Iām sorry to hear this. It seems reasonable to me that exercise may improve this, so exercise seems like a good prescription (especially given the view at the gym!) I would work in leg exercises too since the dizziness is caused by leg muscles not contracting (smooth not skeletal, but leg muscles still) - assuming Dr. approval of course. Have you given rowing a try? Most gyms have a Concept 2 or equivalent rowing machine, and they usually donāt have a wait to use them. But they are an excellent full body workout - upper body, legs and back will all get a good workout - I highly recommend it.
Bernstein has some good recommendations too LINK HERE - special stockings may help?
And of course thereās always the solution favored by teenagers (think of your former students) - your blood pressure doesnāt normalize until noon? - NO PROBLEM - just sleep until noon every day - PROBLEM SOLVED!
I was just Diagnosed as Type 2 a Month ago. Thanks for your story. It shows a lot of strength and hope. I go back to the doctor on the first of Febuary and have to talk to him about the possibility that I too am suffering from effects of neuropathy. I get extreme headaches that usually begin in my sleep. They pound three or four times a week. I am also having a lot of kidney pain and my testing my BP at home is showing some alarming signs that it is too high even though Iāve cut way back on the salt and started taking a Potassium Suplement to improve it. But I plan to live a Long and Healthy life even with this desease. If anyone told me a month ago that I wouldnāt eat a candy bar or a snack cake or desert of any kind for a full month I would have told them they were nuts but Itās been a month and four days and to be quite honest I dont miss it as much as I fear the loosing of my legs, My Sight or My Life. Like you Iām going to beat this Desease to a pulp and show it who is the Boss. Oh and Big Smiles. I havenāt had a reading on my monitor over 120 in the past fourteen days! I am all smiles over that. About broke my arm patting myself on the back! as for the twenty sumthin trainer. Hey thatās great Cardio. She will keep your heart racing! Just remember When your married itās like having Diabetes. We can look at the Desert Menu but just donāt order nothing! LOL.
Good ideas jag, thanks! Half of my exercises are for my legs. Each of 4 machines exercise different leg muscles. Four machines for my arms and three for chest, back and ab muscles. My trainer is not having me doing rowing yet, but she says that will come later. I have noticed my grip is improving a lot.
I cannot sleep after 8 AM while in bed. Eight hours is my limit at night, however, while at my laptop, here in my recliner, I frequently doze. I donāt feel guilty either. Lol!
You go, Ronald! Pat yourself on the back all you like. You deserve it!
Ronald, you are on the right path to successful diabetes management. You will be fine. The lower blood sugar numbers, healthy food and exercise may completely reverse any complications that you may have now.
I love your comment about the dessert at restaurants, and at the gym too. Lol! I have never ordered a dessert when eating out during my 65 years of diabetes. There is no sense starting now at the gym, or elsewhere.
Aw thank you Richard. Thatās Sweet. It would be my Honour. 
I had you squiming there for a minute eh? 
After this long, Iām sure that you know that I donāt tattle. (Unless itās Really Good stuff and I ask permission first. =) ).
Great attitudeā¦very positive.x
