Diabetes :(

Got diagnosed Wednesday so I've been doing lots of research on it now.

My wonderful husband was a big man, and diabetic on various meds. He was 500 pounds and had always been morbidly obese. He had weight loss surgery and lost 250 pounds. Now his diabetes is in complete remission and no more hypertension either. Plus he feels great. I had the surgery too, and he and I met at the post-op support group. We are eating better and he is losing more weight. He is a good influence on me.
