Hello!!

I am just introducing myself, I am 39 and have been a type 2 diabetic almost 2 years. I am on Metformin once a day and have also been told I have Metabolic Syndrome. I am married and have 2 boys who are 13 and 10. I am wanting to lose so I can get my A1C back to a more normal level. I am at 7.6 right now. Will have tests again next week. Have a great evening!

    Welcome to the group! There are a lot of great, supportive people here who are working toward the same goals. MFP is a wonderful place to track your eating and exercise...both an important part of a healthier life. Good luck as you work on lowering that A1c.

    I am also looking for a few friends on this journey. I am newly diagnosed as being 51... :smile: I am going the Ketogenic route. My blood sugars normalized almost immediately and I just finished the first two weeks of induction. So, I am at the beginning of this change myself. I am a Registered Nurse working in dialysis. Please feel free to add me.
