NSV-Type 2 Diabetec

WeighAhead

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last month, and my doctor put me on 2000 mg of metformin. Through diet and exercise I have been able to go down to 500 mg and my blood sugar has improved dramatically! I have lost ~30 lbs since my diagnosis but have hit a bit of a wall this past week, but I am motivated to keep going. I would like to add more friends to keep me inspired to continue, so please feel free to add me if you want, thanks for reading! Enjoy the weekend!

Hi, type 1 diabetic. I am now on my lowest dose of insulin ever and I am full of energy and feel great.

Looks like we're in the same boat.

I was diagnosed a severely diabetic type 2 in July with an a1c of 12. Doc put me on 2000mg of Metformin and told me I needed to lose 30lbs asap and then at least another 30lbs. I've dropped 20lbs of the first 30 in a month and a half. Looking forward to my next office visit in October and being down at least the first 30lbs.

I need to do whatever is necessary to avoid insulin. This site was a godsend. It works for me!

My dad was diagnosed with type II diabetes a few years ago. After losing nearly 50 pounds, he is off ALL of his diabetes medication, and only has to take 1 pill a day for high blood pressure.

I saw myself going down that same path. I'm 28 and already on blood pressure pills. I've lost 60 pounds since February, and I'm waiting to go see my doctor to see about reducing and eventually getting off the meds.

I could not have stuck with it if not for MFP. This place is a Godsend!
