    I have a history of diabetes in my family and have recently reached a weight that is considered dangerous for my health. I am going after the same goal as you are. I am using the fitness app to control carb intake and monitor my fat and sodium intake. It isn't easy,especially when I get the ketosis headaches.

    Thanks - I'm only 3 days into the app but really excited about it - already I am seeing that maybe I should watch that extra table spoon of ranch and definitely stay away from fast food lol I have been diabetic since the birth of my last son 6 yrs ago using pills then about 6 mo ago my a1c suddenly shot up - I hadn't really changed anything my Dr said my pancreas probably just stopped producing insilin - so here I am on insilin and doing fine actually - but I am trying to keep my numbers down - I am finding the app very helpful
