I'm still doing my fitness pal. Restarted back in feb. Yesterday was a day I wanted to fall back into bad habits and eat to ease the stress. I succeeded and didn't over eat. My sugar reading are great and my mood has been better. Hope all of you have a wonderful day.

Good for you! Sometimes, we need some distractions to get past a moment. Glad you are being successful and feeling good!

I am going to be 71 in a couple weeks and was just diagnosed as diabetic. My doctor said she will not put me on metformin at the moment and will recheck my glucose/A1C level in 3 months. Meanwhile I am testing every morning and so far I am doing well in lowering my numbers. But its only been 11 days so we will see. Eating a high carb diet per her instructions, so weight loss is not fast. Down 4.4#s as of today.

It is wonderful that you are doing well in lowering your numbers:-). Did you mean to say 'low carb'? I am interested because "high carbs" equal high sugar intake unless the carbs are primarily ones with very low glycemic load- like green leafy veg. As this is something I am working on, too, I am interested.

-And I think 4.4# in 11 days is a wonderful achievement! Congrats!

Just turned 70 and trying to turn things around health wise as I have diabetes and high blood pressure. Need to drop over a 100lbs The hardest thing for me is giving up bread and pasta but I am going to try. Good luck to us all.

Hope everyone has a great day today. My dr this week reduced my insulin and thyroid medicine due to losing weight.
