Good morning healthy planeteers....
I slipped some last night...stress on hearing the latest news about my mother, but am back on track today.
Got a lot of stuff running around in my head. I've been on Actos for my diabetes for the last 6 years or so....now the FDA is issuing warnings about increased chances of bladder cancer for people on it more than a year, and a couple countries in Europe have banned it.
Scary...and means I really need to be able to cut down my diabetes meds. The whole cancer thing is so much on my mind, for obvious reasons due to my mother's situation.
So....the biggest factor influencing type 2 diabetes is weight...specifically a BMI over 25. For me, that means a goal weight of 155 lbs.
I've been at 155 lbs. before....about, ummmm, 27 years ago.
That's 67 lbs. from where I sit right now.
I'm feeling like I need to do this....for my health and my sanity...and also scared shitless at the prospect of what that would mean as far as lifestyle changes go.
Mulling again....
