Diabetes
Mom,Pop, maternal Grandpa (died from complications), paternal Aunt Berta, paternal Grandpa (died from complications), paternal Grandma, paternal Uncle Del, and I'm unsure about my 15 other aunts & uncles.
High Blood Pressure
Everyone above the age of 40.
Of course, the heavy consumption of refined starches and sodas, as well as even heavier consumption of fatback, fried pork chops, chitlins', and ham is probably not helping much.
For the past few weeks I've been trying to diet, and I think I've done pretty well. I think I've passed the craving stage, and as long as I don't skip meals I don't struggle with cheating. I've FINALLY started to exercise a bit too. A quick recap:
- Sunday: 1 hour of full-court basketball
- Monday: incline sit-ups, 1st day of couch-to-5K
- Tuesday: incline sit-ups, 1.5 hours of full-court basketball
- Wednesday: incline sit-ups, 2nd day of couch-to-5K
- Thursday: incline sit-ups, 30 minutes of full-court basketball
- Friday: sometime today, incline sit-ups and 3rd day of couch-to-5K
Hopefully I can keep this up as well as incorporate some weight lifting. Right now I have negative muscles.

Keep it up, man, that's excellent. It's good that you can get that much basketball in. I wish I had more opportunities to play sports. It's great excercise and fun.
Hooray for the exercising! You're on your way to a longer and healthier lifestyle than that shared by other family members. Adding exercise to the knowledge of God's Health Laws is an excellent achievement. As Kerr said, "Keep it up!"
Wow, this sounds real familiar. My wife has had diabetes since age 3. Her recent hospital stay was a result of an emergency room trip for severe stomach pain which turned out to be a result of uclers in the esophagus. I'm sorry to hear about your mom's health problems.
Thanks, Buckblog! Kerr, I just found out that there's an ice rink in Daytona. I think I'll work on my hockey game while I'm down there.
