[QUOTE="Alive2020, post: 2129225, member: 514133"] Hi everyone, I am Jean from Alberta, Canada. I had gestational diabetes when carrying my son 17 years ago then become pre-diabetes 5 years later. I almost went blind but saved by a young optometrist who discovered my issues and then by the most wonderful Vitreoretinal surgeon Dr. Kherani. Other than my vision issues, I have been mostly fine, self managed by watching what I eat, how I feel and by occasional finger checks. I was on a roughly low carb, high fat diet for the past five years then three weeks ago did a 360 and changed to whole food plant based diet. The change has given me more energy to workout. The main reason for the change is to lose weight and most importantly to lower visceral fat and cholesterol level. I found so many helpful info from this forum during my recent transition and also have so many questions to ask you guys. So here I am. BTW, I just brought the Libre and started using it yesterday. Unfortunately the product sold in Canada is encrypted so have to jump through more hoops to get the data loaded into Diabetes:M. [/QUOTE]
