      Hello. I also have Type 2 Diabetes and take Metformin and I also take Lantus. I would like to be your friend here and help you out. What's worked for me is to exercise more and lose weight. I am mindful of what I eat and try to get more protein in my diet. It's good to have fat in your diet as well.

      You can also check out the "Type II Diabetes Support Group" in the groups. It's a great group and lots of helpful people.

      My husband just found out he has type 2 Diabetes, but he will never get on the forum. I am trying to diet/eat healthy, and I'm wondering if I can combine my diet with what I'm going to have to fix for him? He needs to lose more weight than I do!

      I have type 2 diabetes, since I have lost weight on MFP along with exercise, I feel much more energized. Keeping sugars low is paramount. All the best:heart:

      Eat a high protein, high fat, low carb diet. Incorporate exercise into your life including weight lifting and cardio (doesn't have to be a lot of cardio).

      Hello!! Same here, diagnosed 5 years ago. I'm taking metformin and insulin (trying to get pregnant). I previously took just the metformin and dropped 50lbs, but put about 38 of it back on being on insulin alone (other factors like stress and infertility issues didn't help).

      I walk twice a day (uphill and up stairs) on my work breaks and I watch my carbs (I try to keep the carb count under 45 per meal.)

      Hi, I am 74 and have had diabetes for 15 years and this year it has started to be difficult to control, so I am seriously trying to lose weight and get my A1c down lower. I also have to say that I am not the most computer literate person in the whole world, so I am not even sure I am doing this right!!
