Embarrassed posting this but 9.9 at 5am this morning…. Sigh

I hear you…. I was diagnosed several years ago and was well controlled by diet and exercise but lately all I want to eat is carbs and sugar life is stressful at the moment and just feel down over the whole thing. Everyday I say to myself to just stop and get back on the straight and narrow and...

No advice but I’m in a similar boat…. BS always diet controlled but since peri menopause/menopause can’t get rid of belly fat and BS is erratic

Hi ladies Started HRT a couple of months ago, tried patches but no effects on symptoms…. Or blood sugar for that matter. Recently changed to a different form but since then I’ve put on weight, constantly bloated and my blood sugar levels are gone crazy. Anyone else see any effect on blood...
