I am a 63 year widow with 3 married children, 7 grandchildren and a 7 year male Beagle. I have Type 2 Diabetes. I medicate for my diabetes, for high blood pressure and cholesterol. I have some significant back issues that limit my activity. I would like to get off some of my meds, so am following a calorie counting diet watching my carb and cholesterol intake. I live in Minnesota, so it has been quite easy so far as I have lots of fresh veggies, fruits and have sons and grandsons that keep supplied with fresh fish. I also use my grill as much as I can.
