Well its only been a week, but I can't believe how much better I feel! I still don't have a bg monitor (I have to wait until my appt next week) but I am doing everything I am supposed to and I feel like a new person.

> I am monitoring my diet (keeping a diary) and being careful to eat very balanced meals. Its still not a formal diet plan, but I am being sensible. I am also being sure to have something (anything) at least every 3 hours. The small snacks in between meals are keeping me from feeling famished at meal time and I don't still feel hungry after normal portions (like I used to).

> I am on 2 mg of Amaryl daily with supper.

> I am walking every day (was completely sedentary). Hubby goes with me to the mall every night and we walk the paremeter once.

Is it really possible that these seemingly small changes could make such a huge difference? I had no idea how lousy had been feeling until now.

Yes, it can make you feel better sooner than you think. Keep up the good work.

Hi Jill,

Good job! It's amazing how bad you can feel and not even know it until you start feeling better, isn't it? I'm so happy for you. You have made a lot of progress in a small period of time. Keep up the good work!

Sharon :)

Congratulations, JD. It sounds as if you've been doing all the right things. I'm so glad to hear that you're already feeling better. Pat yourself on the back for me, lol.
