thank you both for your replies.

Seems they are both very positive views! The first or second Monday in Feb I also start a diabetic/nutrition/etc class that will meet for 12 weeks, once a week. I finished the 4 required classes on preventing/controlling diabetses 2.

One of the things I have learned by doing is that when I walk for even just 20 minutes a day, my glucose is lowered. Motivation is what my problem area is, but I'm willing to make myself go to see someone who will work with me much more than I'm willing to do it by myself. DH has not really wanted to do the gym thing in the past, so now even when we don't go to a gym, we will have each other to support.
Wheeeeee LOL
again, thanks for your insights and experiences!
