Yep

Yep, I have diabetes. The visit to the doctor confirmed what we already knew. He doesn't seem too worried about it - thinks I will be able to control it with diet... and I've been very good! Didn't learn a whole lot from him though - just made up a plan and have to go and see a swag of specialists.

I had to do up a couple of goals with him though - and because I don't smoke, and really don't drink very often it wasn't too bad. He basically asked me a lot of questions, and then he worked out with me a couple of goals. One was to increase my exercise in some way - and he did say that even if I was to do a 5 minute walk - that would be 5 minutes more than what I've done before. So Ali and I are going walking on Wed nights, and I'll play netball (indoor) on Tues nights now that outdoor is finished.

The other goal was to lose weight. So I held my breath... scared of him telling me I'll need to be down to my goal weight (which I think would be 1/2 my current weight)... but he said... 3-5kg's or 1 dress size.... OK... that doesn't sound so hard... when by... December! Easy! I reckon I've done part of that already - not that I've weighed myself at all - that's too scary.

I've also got to get some sort of H1Bc... and a few other letters sugar percentage down to 7%. It's currently 7.8% so that should be OK.

Now... for other news... I think the Matisse Sets are nearly ready to roll off the press! Yep! We have some sets! I've been working like crazy getting them all ready to go to the printers... so here's a sneak peak of a few of them...
