I've had type 2 diabetes now for around 4-5 years.  It took quitting smoking and gaining 15 pounds to find out!  Course I started smoking again (after a 10 month quit!  What was I thinking??).  Now I've quit smoking again and regained my 15 lbs, that took a year to get rid of, and my blood sugars are crazy  It's been 79 days since I quit and now starting to wonder if I should smoke and take my chances???  Sure am getting tired of up and down bs---I'm going to keep working on it and maybe, hahaha, after I get used to not smoking, I'll lose weight and get back on track.  Hope to add to this journal pretty often, especially now that I can get on MSN---LOL
