Jo's Cafe

Does Jo exercise … ah, who me? Come on now – don’t be talking about me when I’m not here. Oh wait – I am here! (pout) No. Actually, prior to my move to insulin, I was working out an hour a day. By the time I saw that insulin was keeping my sugar levels managable, I stopped. I was sick of it. I know people don’t like to work out; but being forced to do it like I ‘felt’ I was, made it worse.

I have since decided to do Pilates and have obtained a beginners DVD and am slowly working myself up to the intermediate level.  Yes – I should take Bubba out every day and walk; but to be honest with you – exercise is not a top priority in my life right now, but I will do enough to help.

I am also one of those diabetics that doesn’t need to loose weight, just maintain.  But for those that need to loose weight or who are maintaining their sugar levels with diet and exercise, it’s great the Gold’s above is helping!!

My morning sugar reading was:  65 … took a glucose tablet.
