Diabetes

I'm trying to help control my diabetes with this app. My Dr said it would be a good app for me to help keep up with what calories I have eaten

    Welcome! While watching what you eat in general is definitely a great step forward, I'd encourage you to watch this documentary about how it is certain types of foods, not just amount, that can play a big role in reversing diabetes and other chronic illness: https://www.adventhealth.com/plantwise-documentary

    I work in public health and this was prepared by lifestyle physicians I am familiar with.

    Add me! Just found out I’m diabetic the hard way. Spent 7 days in the hospital due to diabetic ketoacidosis. So I have to change my whole life! Let’s keep each other motivated! ☺️

    Since I found out I was diabetic I’ve dropped 40 pounds. If you stay disciplined you can make great strides towards a healthy lifestyle.
