(remember the life insurance comment) Smoking is one thing only you can control. My doctor once asked me a question while discussing smoking cessation. He asked me this; "What are you, a man or a mouse?" I no longer smoke!! I use the money I spent on that vile nasty habit to fund a couple of nice vacations each year. I think Yoda said the following, There is no try, there is only do or not do! So what are you? A man or a mouse? RB

HELLLLOOO Cheeky! What a surprise to see you here! :) (apologies to those who think I should bottom post) =) IMO, your numbers indicate a probably diabetic condition and your thyroid numbers are normal. That doesn't mean you don't have a thyroid problem, but it sure looks normal for now. Diet and exercise are your first weapons. Usually a doc wants to see you try this before medicating, but not always. You will have to learn how to count carbs (I use the palm of my hand to estimate quantity--so it can be very easy). Not necessarily for a low carb diet, but to limit foods that are converted to glucose fast by YOUR body. It's the old YMMV thing. That is why you need a testing kit, pronto. Then you can figure out what foods spike you (foods to avoid) and what foods do not spike you (foods you can eat more of). I can eat a lot more carbs than most people here. I avoid simple carbs, such as baked goods, cereal, anything with sugar in it. I can eat corn and citrus fruit, some here can't. Someone posted the web site for this group--I still find it very useful in figuring things out. It's a good place to start. Can you start walking daily? My numbers changed for the better, because I was walking at least 2 hours/day in Costa Rica. I don't have that kind of time at home, so I do the best I can. I have an elliptical machine, but I can't use it until I gain more weight. Nice to see you here. :) BTW, I've never received an email from you--can you try my hotmail address? I need to tell you something about Jane's machine, before you go too far in helping her. purple_cattery@hotmail.com and gnn4ever@surewest.net.

I have Fibromyalgia and it doesn't cause Insulin resistance that I know of. If it does I would like to see this info. All Fibromyalgia patients can at least walk every now and then to help their numbers if they have diabetes. If they couldn't they wouldn't make it to their Doctors office. I have had this disease for years now, and I always have good days and bad. Your just out of shape. Start gradual and work yourself up. Walk a little further each week. Before you know it you will be walking blocks with ease. If you have too, sit and do the exercises like I do. But don't let either the Diabetes or the Fibromyalgia run your life. You have to get motivated and want to get better. BTW I do the exercises regardless if I am hurting or not. Yes I have to stop sooner than I want too. But at least I can say I am trying. So hop to it.
