Jim's Journey... Real Life with Type 2 Diabetes

Saturday August 30, 2008
In the third chapter of our monthly series, Jim's Journey, we meet up with Jim and check in on how he's doing.

Jim was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in August of 2007. When we talked to Jim last month, there were several areas that he wanted to improve in his diabetes treatment plan. He wants to exercise more, so he's investigating alternative fitness plans. He's lost 10 pounds but wants to lose more. He's also working on trying to quit a 3-pack-a-day smoking habit. How is Jim doing this month with some of these issues?

It’s nice of you to track Jim’s progress as this will give others the impetus to work on their diabetes care plan. Losing 10 pounds and improving his eating habits is a start. Your tracking Jim’s progress must motivate him into doing more especially in his smoking habit.
