I'm 63 and diagnosed with diabetes last month, so I have been exercising and trying to keep my blood sugar down with eating more veggies, cutting down on servings. I have lost weight and have dropped several jean sizes. I weigh less now than I have in years, since my college days.
I went into the hospital with a blood clot so now I am also on a blood thinner, Warfarin. It was while I was in the hospital that the diabetes was discovered. I live in the Mississippi Delta.
