in Introduce Yourself
Hi all, I'm new on here and looking to make some friends. I'm type 2 diabetic and looking for other diabetic friends... no you don't have to be diabetic so feel free to add me. We can motivate each other. We can do this weight loss thing together.

    I am not a diabetic. I did have a slightly high A1C reading a few years ago that made me reevaluate some stuff. A coworker of mine was diagnosed a couple years ago and I've watched him find his way. You can do it.

    Thanks. It's definitely a long hard journey.

    Type 2 here. I assume I am older than you and diabetic far longer. I have gotten down to my goal weight and could even be considered thin. This is absolutely doable!

    My A1c is in the normal range now at 4.9, but only with meds at breakfast and dinner, as well as by eating fewer but higher quality carbs.

    Type 2 here...not officially, but my A1C came back at 8% this morning. Have an appointment with a doctor next month, but I'm not waiting until then to make some changes. Change starts today, and I'd be happy to be your friend.
