Diabetic!

So, I was diagnosed yesterday with (a semi-mild case of) Type II Diabetes. I'm pretty substantially overweight and so I'm sure that has led to it almost entirely on it's own. On the one hand, it's pretty scary. On the other, though, my doctor said that I'd likely be able to manage it with diet alone if I were able to lose a good amount of weight. So, it totally could be a lot worse.

I don't have too much to say right now, as I just found out yesterday. I'm in the process of learning the types of foods that I can and can't eat. I don't have a blood glucos testing meter yet, so I'm going to have to get one of those. I'm also on 500mg metormin a day, which I haven't started taking yet because I've read that it can be tough on the stomach.

Laura and I are going to be heading by the 'Krops tomorrow to pick up the meter so I can start testing, and I'm in the process of trying to find some decent lower carb and health recipes. We'll see how that goes.

I'm going to try to post more, also.
