I'm coming back to myfitnesspal. I could use a good strong support system on here. I am a nurse who works 12 hour shifts. Diagnosed this past year with Type 2 Diabetes. I am on 2000 mg Metformin daily and Bydureon injections once a week. Any help, advice, and friendship is welcome:)

    Welcome back. This is a good group.

    The first step is mentally preparing yourself for a lifestyle change. Once you've made that commitment the other details (diabetes education, diet, exercise and BGL monitoring) are easier to manage.

As already stated, coming here will help you with your commitment to improving food choices, work toward a good exercise program, and get the diabetes under better control. Just coming back is a good step for you so let us know how we can help. We're here to support each other as we all work toward a common goal.

    Welcome back to MFP and to this group. This is a bunch of great people. If you need answers, or just to let frustration out dealing with diabetes this is a great area for that support you need.

    I have an open food diary, but will send you a friend request too. A good site to get info on diabetes is www.bloodsugar101.com.
