Also believe it or not studies show that eating chocolate with at least 70% cacao can reduce blood pressure so I eat 2 squares of hu dark chocolate a day as it is made with coconut sugar which is better for my diabetes.

Indeed, I also enjoy a couple of squares of the 70% or higher cacao content chocolate occasionally, as my "not-quite-so-guilty pleasure". I am keen to learn about why you are not able to exercise. I too have diabetes-related cardiac issues, and thus cannot exercise as much I would like to, for weight loss. I have started investigating low-impact activity, such as using the cubii_18px.png Cubii elliptical exerciser, and now I am looking at getting into Disc Golf, in which the only strenuous exercise is the walking, and for that I have a mobility aid.
