beth, I hope the exercise helps. My grandmother developed Type II (of course, she was much much much much older than you) and just walking and drinking a lot of water had a great positive effect on her blood sugar management. My two cousins who developed Type II in their forties also found exercise to be a big help. For a few years, one of them was able to go med free, once he lost weight, as long as he kept exercising. I'm just mentioning this, because even if you find some sorts of exercise exacerbate your asthma, there may be some types you can do, that will help you regulate your sugar and won't irritate your lungs.

Trust my rage
I just applied for a job I saw on craigslist. I have no expectations (online stuff always seems sketchy to me), but there is really no downside so my fingers are crossed.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I guess when they have someone with a chronic disease they like othave them talk with health proffessionals so they ( the paitents) can get more info about the disease in a setting that is not the rush of the doctor's office.I have a friend who does exactly this, also with diabetes. She would love to have you as a patient, informed and caring about their own health.
Good luck on the job app, Stephanie.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Exercise makes a difference. i'm just not sure that more exercise at levels that will increase my VO2 max will make a difference in diabetes. right now this is my normal level of exercise:
walk 2 hours 4- 5 times a week at work - shopping pace ( think slow)
garden 45 min to 2 hours 5-6 days a week
walk to the coffee shop 15 minutes brisk 1x week
walk from the coffee shop 15 min brisk 2-3x a week ( matt drops me there on his way to work)
gardening will slack off because 1) it doesn't need it anymore and 2) winter is comming.
what I want to add is 3-4 seesion for 30 min at target heart rate. so when spring comes around next year the garden work will go faster and hopefull the asthma will be better. and I'd like to change my High bp drug from a diuretic and ace inhibitor to just an ace inhibitor. 10 less lbs would also be cool. ( 17 would be better)
P.S. I used to be a slug. I marvel at how much I do now.

You do a lot more than I do. I am a slug. This summer hasn't help things, either.

Raq, that last picture reminds me of the opening to Hitchcock's TV show. Just trace the silhouette.
