[quote user="loathar"] IThe good thing about model railroading is it keeps me from sitting around the house eating all the time. I'm not really overweight. 6'2" 200lbs. But GOD! I love to eat![/quote]Loathar, I too am diabetic (on metformin) and 6 ft 2, and my doctor had me go on a diet, from 260 down to 175 pounds and boy, did it knock the heck out of my blood sugar! Then I dirifted back up to 200 lbs and the blood sugar counts drifted back up with them. Now I have found a way to keep the weight around 200, but keep the blood sugar to earlier levels. Weightlifting. Nothing too extreme, but 3 times a week, 45 minutes at a time. Its given me guns big enough to put a trackplan on (LOL) , increased my energy levels and has also improved my "relations" with my fiancee.I still have trouble healing wounds, still get my eyes checked yearly, and watch what I eat, but the benefits of the weight loss are nothing to sneeze at.Now, If I can only get my boss to let me move the vending machine that is across the hall from my office, so I don't hear the sweets calling me!!  If you do the diabetic forum thing, let me know. Maybe we can do an online clinic on redecorating the "Hershey" train cars!!!![swg]
