Sadly, that's gained not lost... too much of a good thing while on vacation...
Back to the drawing board...

Right now I can't exercise much with my elbow, so I'm trying to control my weight by eating less, and avoiding anything with sugars, obvious and hidden.
I will be very glad when me elbow heals. That band I have to wear around my forearm is a pain in the posterior.

well, it depends on your frame more than anything. I'm six foot four. I get down to the "Ideal weight" according to the old scales, and I look sickly.. and feel sickly too.
good news is, I've gotten approval to join a health facility gym with a counselor for strength training. According to them, that will help with the diabetes.
My last checkup a couple of days ago was really positive. Great kidney functions, and all my hard work at staying away from all the foods I love (natch) has it under much better control. I told them my ulitmate goal was to get off the meds all together.
It sucks to have to save up all week just to have some popcorn on sunday, but thats what it takes, that's what I'll do. thats what a family history of diabetes will do for you.
I'm sure you've all heard the joke about the dog that has one ear, one eye, three legs and answers to the name lucky. Well, that was my granddad pretty much. One eye, one and a half ears, one leg, and most of the toes gone on the other foot. My dad has had many complications with his as well. Gonna try and do my best to stay away from that.

Been hitting the gym more regularly... getting back to following the weight loss program I've followed successfully in the past... need to drop at least 10 pounds to start feeling comfortable again...

I just started at a health gym last night, did the intial setup. could have been better, but some old injuries kept my scores down. Only thing that was a real concern was the oxygen meter, whatever the heck that is. I walk a lot in the woods and that meant that the twelve minutes on the treadmill were a piece of cake.

I work out at home. I'm 5'8" and around 155/160lbs. Toned to muscular frame but I work hard at maintaining it. My Greek heritage makes me prone to obesity (meaning if I didn't work out I'd probably be as wide as I am tall). I try to cut down on the sweets more and more every day. I'm lucky to have my health and thank God for that everyday!
My heart goes out to you guys with the type1D ... my mother and Cathy's father are walking in your shoes.....
