@Mep 7.0 in March, 5.7 in July, 5.3 in October. Yes. I made some changes. I use to skip breakfast and eat a snack at 11 then healthy big lunch around 1:30 and then a snack around 8pm. Now I strive to eat 1 HR from waking up. I eat my healthiest meal as lunch around 1:30 and still working on...

Can someone tell me their thoughts... My doctor called after a1c test in Oct (5.3) to see me. She kept asking how I felt and I said better but I been sick. She looked in my throat, nose ears, she listen to my heart, lungs, and tummy, and then checked my temp and blood pressure. She's retesting...

Just in case this helps someone else

Thanks guys. Someone else recommended some protein in my shakes a weeks ago,so I started that instead of waiting. It was a little chalky and sweet, but I'll keep trying. I tried vega, so anyone have recommendations. Later I will try garden of life. I try to eat 50-75% veggies of fruits with...

I'm not a doctor or nurse or dietitian, and not t1. But I lost weight when I added healthy fat to my diet and stopped my candy obsession. Maybe if you look at your diet you will see a vitamin or group (protein, fat, carb) your missing. I dunno but it would explain why so many methods to loose...

Good luck on your first no smoke day. Don't forget small healthy victories. Gotta find a healthier alternative to look forward to when you stop an addiction. I've never been a smoker but you got this when your ready it will be worth it.

So I've had some throat pain and I haven't been eating enough because it hurts. I'm gunna need to eat more smoothies. I got sick a few weeks ago and I was told my stomach acids made rips in my throat and it will take awhile to heal. It's inflamed and irritated my lower part of my throat and even...

Thanks everyone... I see a similar trends of a well balanced diet. I did my diabetic education class and we talked about food today. And the lady was saying 1 cup of pasta was 3 maybe 4 servings of carbs then she was talking about garlic bread. I was like what your saying and the pictures are...

I lost 10lb the first week low carb and they did labs on me with blood and pee and the doctor wasn't concern as long as I was eating enough. I was told to check my numbers a lot cus I went down fast. But now my numbers are good and I added carbs back and I am loosing weight. I also get most my...

#purplearmadillo I loved this question because I've wanted to eat more vegetarian and vegan diet now. I always have people wanting to feed me meat because I am often see eating small amounts and they are concern for my protein. And they don't believe I have complete proteins, but I didn't think...

I am curious, about other people's food groups or diets look like? What do you typically eat? I guess, I wonder if I am missing out on specific food groups and eating too much of others or maybe just curious. My labs are mostly ok. A little low Vit D, calcium, and low red blood count which...

I am very fair skin and I live is Florida (southern tip of the states near Gulf of Mexico). I get a sun burn easily...after 5 min I am pink and 10 min I am red. I have a lot of Irish, English, Whales, Scottish and a little German and Italian... But both parents had Irish and I ended up pale...

I I easily eat 70 grams on most days when you add eggs, cheese, meat and veggies. I probable have days I don't but someday I go over. And if I crave red meat I always give in cus I know I don't eat a lot. A chicken breast is about 3oz and I eat 1/2 or 1/3 breast depending, beans 1/4 cup is 45...

I think I had it sense 2012 and was having nerve damage immediately. In 2012 I had hurt my back and had cortisone short. I remember after the third shot complaining of a burn in my toes and my legs going numb and not feeling my feet when walking and I stepped funny and my toes were under my...

Sounds similar to my story. I began researching as soon as I found out. I didn't wait for help and my doctor is slow. I was diagnosed in May and I begin talking to a diabetic educator at the end of last month and nutritionist at the end of this month. I think, stress management and less caffeine...

I lower my triglycerides with leafy green veggies every day. I change it up kale in my soup, spinach and tomato omelet, salad, or kale and spinach in my smoothie. It's worked for me and they go down fast. I don't have to worry about cholesterol, but I read if you raise your HDL it will lower...

Yeah, but there is probably more going on for that person. I don't think good nutrition is taught. And sometimes people are miserable and candy makes you happy for that 5 min your eating it and thinking of your childhood or grandparents and holidays. Junk food and cake and pie and candy is every...

You crack me up #Sally and James. Thank you, I needed a good smile today. My younger brother spent the entire last 2 days trying to make laugh and you finally made me chuckle. I am sure he warmed me up. My mom died at 45 and my dad died at 63 and my grandfather 62 and my grandma 83 and my other...

Thanks. I know my diet isn't perfect, but it's the healthiest diet I've ever eaten and I feel the best on it. I am open to change, but not when I feel so sick. I don't know if it was the protein or a virus... maybe it was bad timing and the virus would have come. But I am happy on a high fiber...
