Hi, and thanks for the welcome. I don't usually do this kind of thing (get involved in 'on-line' chat) but this site has been very helpful and encouraging.

To answer your qustion, I'm a type II diabetic. I have been for about 5 years. My sugar has always benin pretty good control, but I'd like to get off my 5 mg of glyburide and the only way that's going to happen is to drop this extra weight.

I've been doing really well in keeping to my new eating lifestyle with one exception----COFFEE!

I can't go withoput my coffee. I don't really drink all that much. Usually 2, 12 ounce mugs in the AM and only occasionally at any other time.

Nice to hear from you.

Blessings,
PastorBob
