'Tis me, Candilyn, from HB. I am 25 years old and will be married for 5 years on June 4th. We have one son, Logan, who is 2.5 years old. I am looking forward to getting to know more about a healthy way of living. I know it will be a very hard transition for me.
While pregnant with ds, I had gestational diabetes. It never went away and I struggle with it now. During my pregnancy, I did very well with controlling it with diet alone....was supposed to be diet and exercise, but I didn't exercise and my numbers were still good. However, when ds was 1 year old, I asked my doctor to check me for diabetes, as I just didn't feel right (not to mention that I gained about 50 pounds in 3 months after he was born....after I delivered him I was 44 pounds lighter than I was when I got pregnant...so, essentially I gained it all back). Sure enough, I was diabetic. I tried diet and exercise to control it, but it just wasn't working. To top it off, my cholesterol was high. I now take medication to control my diabetes and a pill for high cholesterol. My ulitmate goal is to be able to get off of all medications that I am now on. I'm hoping that I can do that with the help of the information on this site!!!!!

Hi Candi! I'm glad you're here. I was just reading today that massage has been shown to help blood sugars. I will post more about it later.

Hmmm..Now this I have to hear. Dh gives great massages, but perhaps I could get them more often if they are "good for my health"!!!
