Hi! ☺️

My name is Sara and I'm looking for a diet/exercise motivation buddy, preferably female 30s/40s age group - I am 34 with prediabetes/borderline diabetic looking for a diabetes motivation buddy, preferably a binge eater like myself. To share tips, what works, what doesn't etc. I am 4'8" and 180 lbs. with an A1c of 6.1 on 2,000 mg Metformin per day. I take daily readings of blood glucose and my next A1c test is on 8-25-16. However, my glucose readings have been rising precipitously with each passing morning with my last reading this morning of 122 mg/dL. I *know* it is the bingeing on sweet treats and sweet meats like salami and ham, but I just. Can't. Stop. Eating!!! I think I should go back to OA but my nutritionist was lukewarm on the whole concept. So if I can have someone to guide me here that would greatly be appreciated, thank you!!!!

    I remember getting that same news from my doctor, and it's what awakened something inside my very soul.
    He was going on and on about what medications I may need and the symptoms that would crop up...and so on...

    ...and when he was finished delivering all this terrible news, my doctor took off his glasses, looked me in the eyes and said "And of course, if you were to lose about 60 pounds, all this goes away."
    And I was like...

    My total weigh loss so far is 110 pounds, and my blood glucose numbers are perfect as are all the other tests. If I can do this, so can you!
    And I hope you find your lady buddy in that same boat.
    Good Luck~
