Speedbreaker 2

So began a period of intensive change. I started two activities   that i had been running away from a long time. Research  and exercise. A lot of net-time went into reading about diabetes. Books were ordered and studied in detail. Clinical nutrition  was studied. What exercise benefits most... The list goes on.
It was apparent that I had adult onset diabetes. Having a history on my father's side, chances were high that I  would have got it eventually, and so i had.
As i was overweight, the insulin being secreted by my pancreas was no longer able to cope up with the glucose floating around in my bloodstream. Either that, or the combination of inactivity and excess food had caused  my tissues to develop a bull hide that made glucose processing difficult. The result was same. Grossly elevated blood sugar levels. This placed a greater workload on pancreas, liver, and kidneys, not to mention peripheral capillaries and nerves.
Solution was obvious. Lose all excess weight. Fast. Start medication. Metformin 500 mg thrice a day. Change diet totally. It is these two things, exercise and diet that i intend to talk  about in this series of posts.
