The first thing Jim learned about his problem was about maintaining sugar levels. He shouldn't be on a rocket up or diving into the valley. He had to do this through diet and exercise, neither of which he liked. The diet was the hardest part for him. Sara helped him with that, when she could, but he usually fell down on that while he was at work or traveling. He just got impatient with the idea of having to have only so much protein, so many carbs, and no sweets. It was the lack of sweets that really got to him. Jim has a big sweet tooth. So between trying to keep a diet and exercise and not have his doughnuts in the morning, Jim was not a happy camper. In fact, he got to be quite cranky. Food is a big deal for Jim. After about three weeks he began to lose some weight, and then his attitude changed. He said he felt better too. His color had improved, and he seemed to have more energy. Then the weather got warmer and he decided that the exercise he was doing was not so bad. He began to enjoy it. He even asked me to join him, which I did. We generally walked on the trail at the park, but sometimes it was just in the neighborhood. I was glad to have a partner, because I doubt that I would have gotten out there on my own.
