Good for you telekinetic! Keep up the work and let us know how you are doing. I'm also diabetic and 53. I'm about 10 lbs overweight. I'm hoping with willpower and a strict diet I can lose and get my bp down and my sleep apnea under control. I wrote above about my problems with apnea, if you want to check it out. I'm hoping that a mouth guard will help me. Do you also snore? Has your snoring lessened with the weight loss?
