<p>About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes, probably one of those funky “new” diabetes like Type 1.5. Although I was not technically overweight at the time, I still lost 20 pounds and have kept it off since. My diet secret is “FEAR”. </p>
<p>I am one of those people who absolutely loathes exercise and hates to sweat, but exercise helps keep my blood glucose in line. I don’t want to have a heart attack or lose a limb (hence the fear) - so I ride an exercise bike every day for at least 45 minutes. I still hate it and I don’t really have the time (yeah, I work outside the home, too), but I’m more afraid of death and disease.</p>
<p>Diet alone isn’t enough. You’ve gotta move…</p>
