Ijust read my bio (below). Much has changed. No longer shooting insulin. I now have V-go, an insulin pump. It's more convenient than using the insulin pen, but I have gotten complacent abount carb counting and eating habits. What has changed in my bio? I'm older. lol
Now 71, was in wheelchair for a few months after a fall, now walking with rollator and PAIN. Truthfully I blame the pain on the weight gain. When starting here the last time, I had back pain that was getting close to stopping. Still married, still have my doggies and still living in "Independent Living" apartments. Hope this is my LAST "first day" of a diet. God bless. Kathry.
In 2016 I had a meningioma (brain tumor) and had it removed. Not as scarey as it sounds. After the hospital I spent time in a Nursing facility. It was an eye opener and I have been taking much better care of myself. Counting carbs has had the benefit of causing weight loss. I noticed this when my shoes and watch were too loose.
