Hey all!

I'm not diabetic - but there is a history of it in my family. I am Ojibwe, both my parents were diabetic, a brother is diabetic, a sister is pre-diabetic. I think both sets of grandparents were - I know a lot of my aunts and uncles were.
There is also a history of heart problems on my mother's side of the family.

I'm not very good about watching what I eat or exercising consistently. Oddly enough - when I was working I was more diligent about exercising - my weight got down to about 210 lbs. But now that I'm unemployed it seems I find other stuff to do to keep myself busy - and my weight has shot back up.

I live with my pre-diabetic sister. Lately I've been trying to cook more healthy meals for us: soups, salads, more veggies, not as much red meat. We've both noticed that we're not as tired as we used to be. Right now she has a problem with her foot so we don't go for the long walks in the evening that we used to go on.
