Hi Richard
I'll be brief. I preface this by saying I am not a doctor, just a type
2. I offer suggestions only and suggest you get medical advice before
acting on them.
1. Get your BGs under control. Read
http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm to find out how.
2. If you are overweight, lose it and get fit.
3. Exercise daily; anything at all that doesn't hurt you but do it for
15-30 minutes daily.
4. If you smoke, stop.
5. Re-introduce youself on either misc.health.diabetes or
alt.support.diabetes. The food group has only sporadic membership.
