I have been stopping fluoxetine after 9 months of 10 mg/day. I had lost 28 pounds and got my blood sugar to snd A1C of 5.6 even after stopping Metformin. It has been 3 weeks and I’ve gained 9 pounds and my blood sugar is rising - quite a bit but steadily. I am exercising and eating well. I’m...

Time warp

I am also annoyed by the comments on weight loss. Only a few people asked if I was okay and if the weight loss was intentional or due to ill health. Those who asked either had shared with me their history of an earring disorder or had a medical education.

I use the Nike Running Club app. It’s free. I think that they also have walks. I really like it as it helps me change my internal dialogue when I’m stressed.

I wanted to post an update. I have been frustrated and it is totally not logical, but I feel that I need to spell it all out to actually believe that all is doing really well. I reduced Metforming from 1000 mg/day to 500 mg/day 12 days ago. My blood sugar average and standard deviation are a...

Welcome! And I agree, together we are much stronger in living with diabetes.

I like to boil the bones of roasted chicken in the same way @Munkii does and use the leftover from the chicken that way. Also, I have an air fryer which lets me make great fantastic roasted chicken in just an hour.

I like fresh soy milk and have been making my own. I got a nifty little machine where I dump the beans and water, set an 8 hour delay timer and it grinds and boils it when soaked for 8 hours. Then I just need to strain it. I have it in my morning chia seed pudding and it has no impact on my...

Thanks for sharing. I’m seeing my doctor today. I’ll report back what she suggests and how it goes after that.

Fantastic! I also feel that I couldn’t have been successful in getting my H1C down without a CGM.

This might be an American thing but I like to get chicken wings. Either plain or with buffalo sauce. With celery sticks and carrots and blue cheese dressing.

Thank you so much! I am so glad I found this group of supportive people. I also find exercise very useful. I started with running and now added some swimming. It also helps me build muscle while still losing some weight. I love feeling stronger, too. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for sharing! I appreciate it!

I also go for nuts. I had a fatty liver and started eating walnuts intentionally. I still really like them. Also cashews are good when I’m active on the go.
