I'm new here. I posted in the intros. I just got my membership at the YMCA. I'm looking forward to taking the arthritis water exercise classes that begin next Tuesday. I'm type 2 and have fibromyalgia and pretty bad neuropathy. I might go to the pool on Monday's open swim and do some water walking. I have no idea what the exercise will do to my bg level. So I'll bring a piece of fruit and some nuts. I take 1000 mg of metformin in the morning and at night. My hope is that with the exercise and eating right I'll be able to reduce my metformin. I've lost 10 lbs. in the past two months just with diet.

Hey Susan....excercising is so fun. I love it. I try to go atleast 5-6 times a week. I have a free membership at my local gym covered by my employer. As long as I go 6 times minimum a month. I love the ellyptical trainer. I used to go and run 2 miles on the treadmill at 6 mph. My ankles and my knees would hurt. So I then started on the ellyptical and its awesome. I can go the same amount of distance without hurting when I get off. If you are thinking of getting any cardio in, I highly recommend the ellyptical trainer. Do the weight loss interval. It ends up being about 22 minutes of exercising. Good Luck with your new healthy lifestyle.
