Hello everyone!!

I just wanted to post to you all, and say HI!! I am new here.  Just got the link to this site from a friend (Thanks Adrienne!).     I have kind of browsed the forums and found them to look like an AWESOME place to get some good info/stories/etc.    A little about me,  well,  I have a couple health issues,  that sometimes really seem to take over my life!!  For one,  I have an inflammatory Bowel Disease called Ulcerative Colitis.   Add this on top of Diabetes,  and it seems all I'm doing is worryin about my health/diet/meds/ etc.    I hate having to think about my health all the time,  but its kind of important, I guess. I have a husband and 2 kids (and myself!) to keep healthy for.   But, I"ll tell ya,  it really gets waring sometimes!!  *sigh*       I look forward to chatting with everyone here!!  

Welcome Christie,
Glad your friend pointed you this way. I look foward to your posts and will help in anyway I can. I also have IBD and other stuff to deal with and it can be a handful at times.

Hi all, I have posted a few times already and hope I haven't overstepped my bounds. I am T2 for 20+years. I also have diverticulous (the condition) and colonosscopy also showed some colitis. I asked dr. about help in eating as far as salads are concerned because I like them and ate a lot of salads. He said if I feel good to eat them, otherwise cook my veggies. So I now eat very few salads and cook my veggies. I do eat salads when we go out to eat. I also have high bp and cholestrol. I just got a new PC dr. so we have to get to know each other. Oh, I am on insulin - levemir at night and humalog 1:15 ratio. Besides that I am on many other meds.

I am happily married and we are both 61. We have 2, adult now, children, 1 girl/1boy but no grands. I guess that just about covers it. I hope to meet new friends here. I am also on another board.
