Good Morning!

Thanks @Former-Member

Yeah, things largely under control - meds help a lot

Been seeing this Dr, on and off, for 33 years now!!!

(Conditions/diagnoses changed over time)

Hello @TAB spoke to my Diabetes Educator on the phone. She wants me exercising morning AND night now plus resistance bands twice a day. Have been eating too many nuts she wants me down to 3-4 nuts max per day. I'm happy with that. I have heard of people finding it impossible to get blood glucose levels down even after following all the advice but she assured me with more exercise after dinner the fasting levels the following morning will go down. Shes asking a lot of me. I am now 11% smaller in size, shedding more but she wants me at 90kg I am now 109kg. Its this med causing diabetes. I guess I just keep persisting! lol I don't know how I keep on going

G'day @Judi9877

I hope the water gets fixed asap!

(Oh, and while we're on the topic @Former-Member @TAB - no success in love here either! lol)

Very wise @MDT sometimes easier w opp sex sometimes not

Most people generally speaking with major mental illness don't have successful partnerships or a significant other @StuF they look outside and think other people are "lucky" or they are missing out on something special but its simply not true. I don't think anyone really finds love going by the people I've seen. Being single has its merits. Most people have agendas in addition to inclination towards the opposite sex. You may get someone you have an "affinity" with but its usually what the other partner can do for you etc...

Yeah, MI doesn't help @Former-Member

That's for sure!

Good morning @StuF @TAB @Appleblossom @Judi9877 @MDT I hope everyone has a good day. I am halfway through my Mayan Activations which I'm happy with. I am enjoying the process. About to go for a morning W.A.L.K. soon. The blood laser irradiation dropped my fasting blood glucose levels down by .7 points this morning from 6.8 to 6.1 which is good. Aiming on having a quieter day today but have some enquiries to make about a more local psychiatrist and an online facebook group I belong to. So that will be done today. What are you guys doing this Friday?

G'day @Former-Member @TAB @Appleblossom @Judi9877 @MDT and all

Also going for a walk here soon and work this afternoon

Well done again with your blood glucose 🙂

Happy Friday everyone!

Thats good @StuF keep up with the walking. Do you do resistance band training to build muscle mass? I was told you need to do that as you get older. I bought my resistance bands from Kmart. They don't cost much and are as good as going to a gym. You can check out resistance band exercises online. I feel stronger and better with it. The body really responds! I do roughly 10 minutes twice a day. There are other people on here that do resistance band training like @Dimity and @Former-Member. Be encouraged.
