I know what you mean Kim. I too, feel like I'm falling to pieces all the time. Terry is so healthy it makes me sick! Hey, maybe that's what the problem is!

Anyway, I am by no means preaching because I'm in the same boat as you, and don't take my own advice often enough, but exercise does help tremendously, especially with the diabetes. Just a simple walk around your block once a day, five days a week would be a great start. Nothing hard, nothing strenuous, just something regular and consistent makes a world of difference. Last year I was doing exercised here in the office on a regular basis and I felt sooo much better! But ever since Tubby started getting sick (last Thanksgiving) I've really been slacking off and I can really feel the difference because I feel awful most days.

Exercise helps with so much, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression....don't know if it does anything for GERD, mine still acts up when I'm exercising...but it's really amazing the difference exercise can make. I know the doctors preach it, and I also know how hard it is to get exercise into your daily routine. But I know you will see a difference if you start a routine and stick with it.

So like I say, don't take this as I'm preaching it because I really should start up again with mine, but will I start today, probably not....
