**NOTE; Sorry but...if I can't see your journal, how can we be buddies?

June 3rd 2010 I'm following a more healthy lifestyle. Keeping mindset toward more natural foods.

I'm Dianna, a Libra born on September 28th. I reside in Washington State. I'm 56, 5 feet tall and disabled with fibromyalgia which quickly put extra weight on me when I could no longer work and was dxd with T2 diabetes.


I love IncrediMail, Netflix, psp, ps3, kinnect AND my Wii!

STARTING WEIGHT; 216 April 6, 2010

[I DROPPED MY CHOLESTEROL 300 POINTS,
MY TRIGLYCERIDES 571 POINTS
IN 6 WEEKS WITHOUT MEDS]

Update; March 23rd 2013, I gained 30Lbs from the year and a half after I moved to be near to my family but I wouldn't trade anything as even with the stress, spending time with my grand is a priceless memory. Now moved back home last week, I'm up to the challenge of getting my health back on track even with my "new" physical problem. I had trouble with pain in my joints before but it's been worse these last 6 months. I'm looking forward to finding a doctor who might help with my pain issues.

At present I'm about 138lbs and my goal is 125. I got down to under 110 last time which would've been fine for my build except I lost 80% of the weight from my upper body which left my torso uncushioned so any pressure against my ribs really hurt. It can be hard to explain the pain of fibromyalgia but my skin always hurts. So I'm thinking 120-125 might leave enough padding to save at least some of my sanity:)

Sugar readings
Hi Zandra. I'm Dianna, am diabetic T2 and I agree with NCNOLE. How high is your blood sugar running? I've sent you a buddy request in case you'd like to chat. In the meantime, please keep posting. There's a lot of support on this site.

PLEASE READ - XYLITOL HAS CAUSED LIVER FAILURE IN MY PUPPY
I'm SO sorry about Riff. I do hope he is doing better. I did some extensive research some months back when I was thinking of buying an alternative sweetener for baking and did find this info about xylitol. HOWEVER it's far from common knowledge I agree. I only have a cat now but even so. There isn't any research I've found concerning xylitol toxicity and other pets. Most probably as dogs are more prone to eat people food than other pets and they often like sweets. Best wishes! ~Butterfly hugs, Ruby
