John933,
I am 50 ...  ... but diabates gives me a chance to grow as a person so I am not complaining.
Stormboy,
thanks for your thoughts and considerations. Eating well and exercising are indeed on top of the list of my priorities. In our group of diabetics the most members do not seem to be able to get away from (bad) carbohydrates. How wierd is it sitting under the poster of a diabetic foot and telling that as a diabetic you are not able to quit eating those two plates of homemade noodles every day ... :confused1:
To me, it is not a big deal as my wife does already eat low carb and she is more than happy to have me along on the same diet. We both carry pacecounters and try do walk at least 6000 steps a day. That means about an hour´s walk. On weekends it is considerably more, during the week it might be 5000 paces a day or less (depends mostly on the weather).
I am going to keep you updated. Thank you again for sharing your experiences.
