in Introduce Yourself
I am new to this sight and to message boards and blogging. I am a diabetic with several other health issues. I feel if I could lose weight I could overcome some of my problems. I'm hoping to find support on here because I have a hard time getting it elsewhere.

    I am pre-diabetic so I can feel your pain to an extent. Welcome :)

    WELCOME! MFP has certainly helped me to control my T2. Logging your carbs and sugar is extremely helpful. And there are plenty of supportive people here. :)

    Hello, I am insulin dependent type 2 diabetic and am always battling my numbers so I certainly can relate. Feel free to add me for support if you want. I am really trying to lose this FAT in hopes I can eventually get off the insulin or at least reduce my doses.

    I am in a similar situation. I have Poly-cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) which is also insulin resistant along with multiple other health issues. I have battled with weight my entire life but now have the determination and drive to do something about it. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can support each other.

    Welcome to MFP. There are at least two support groups dedicated to people with Diabetes. You can do a search for these groups where you will find lots of encouragement and support.
