While I know what fasting regimes are, I'm not knowledgeable about them. For me, I aimed at finding the right balance to be able to permit certain outings (as long as they absolutely remain a treat), eat healthy and exercise. We did have a week vacation where I have to admit that food was ****...

Thank you! Thanks, TazziT! Even if they're not (and this is not even a guarantee they'll be that good later on), don't give up and just keep trying. I'm seeing a rise again in my morning fasting levels, although that could be from a bad week on vacation. So, next time around it might be...

My thanks to you! Hopefully the trend keeps up. Why, thank you so much! You guys are always great in cheering people along, this feels amazing thanks to you all. :)

Thank you!! I'm so happy :D Many thanks!

Thank you so much! Gotta make sure I don't fall off the bandwagon now. :)

Thank you! And I sure will :)

Results are in... ... H1ac is at 5.8!! (I was at 9.8 in May) I'm super stoked! This does not mean that my journey is over, far from it, but I'm so happy to be heading in the right direction. I'm meeting with my nurse next week, and my kidneys look like they're doing just fine, too. Going to...

Hey everyone! Still lurking around, reading posts and pondering about the meaning of life, the universe, and everything else. I finally went public with my T2 and made a nice Facebook post. This was after I met with my diabetes nurse at the beginning of July, and I've gotten great support from...

I just noticed some of the discussions (never got the e-mail notification!), and I'm glad people could find some solace and reasons to discuss from this post. :)

Very well said, and a good thing to remember when things become overwhelming. I'm changing what I can, controlling what I can, and you're definitely right that this will minimise risks. Thank you very much for sharing!

I'm glad you can find the positive in it! I'm also glad I found out, since it's given me the (much needed) kick the rear to make these changes.

Agreed, it certainly has been a wake up call. Everything has changed, and they were changes that will benefit me and my health overall; more exercise (a lot more, actually), and tremendous positive changes to eating habits. That's why I'm glad we caught it at this age, and that I know that my...

No, there wasn't a specific reason. I was just touring along the internet, looking up topics on diabetes, and somehow that came up. I'm a very curious person by nature, so of course, down the rabbit hole I went! Realistically, I know my chances are fairly low, as no one in my immediate family...

Hey everyone- thanks again for the warm greeting the other day. Made me smile! This topic has been trotting in my mind for the past 2-3 weeks, as I seem to pass periods of obsession about learning more about diabetes. With knowledge, comes worry. Am I truly just T2? Will I get complications...

My best one since diagnosis! 5.9

That it is! I'm kind of a geek (okay, a lot) and my nurse didn't get any feedback on this model yet. It's going to be fun to report back on it~

Oh, forgot to add that I've been using Myfitness pal for almost a month now to help with the weightloss and tracking!

Thank you for the comment @Bluetit1802 I appreciate the answer. My responses are currently waiting approval when I hit reply, so you may only see my response to AMIS1874 afterwards. I have looked into the carbs, and for now I will take the nurses' advice to try to aim at max of 40g of carbs per...

Thanks! I appreciate the support, @AM1874 :) I try to be positive in general in life, but also realistic to keep things balanced. Or so I tell myself. I was expecting some comments regarding the choice of carbs, and I have extensively read up on LCHF diets not only through this forum, but also...

Thanks @Jaylee ! Glad to be part of the fold. I have set myself the goal to manage my diabetes with diet and exercise, so I hope to be able to do that in the coming year.
