Neither is beneficial for someone with diabetes. After my husband struggled with type 2 for years, I realized that it was unrealistic to expect him to go it alone and joined him in going low-carb. He’s lost over 60 pounds since then and his blood sugar level is normal. It’s such a relief and worth giving up sugar and starch.

I do treadmill and weight work and have found that the first 15 to 20 minutes are challenging, but then I’m fine.

You're a good wife, trisham...my wife is no help, except for an occasional harangue when I have a diet coke. LOL, I don't mind it. My routine includes a lemon-ginger-spinach smoothie after a regular 4 hour shift in a non air conditioned warehouse (5 days a week).

I dropped 20 pounds pretty quickly, the next 15 won't be so easy. Then again, maybe not, as we head into July-August North Texas weather. Visited my doc this week, labs were good: BP ideal (114/71), A1c 5.6, Cholesterol 85. BTW, my previous doctor told me that an HbA1c reading under 5 is actually bad, though I don't remember the exact reason why.

Congrats to your hubby on his weight loss.

A shout out to Wendy's: their Berry Burst salad is awesome.
