I’m looking for a support system with others fighting this disease and losing weight. I’m a wife, mom, grandmother, teacher. I was diagnosed a year ago and started using this app right before diagnosis. I’ve lost 75 lbs so far and need to lose at least 25 more. I would love to have a support group on here.

    Welcome! Come join us here - https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1772-type-2-diabetes-support-group

    I was diagnosed in March and have been using MFP since then to track my carbs & calories. I've since lost 33 pounds but have more to go so I'll be around for a while.

    I wish you the best!

    I am a diabetic also and have lost 92 lbs. so far. Although my A1C is back to normal I am still working to keep diabetes at bay. Always looking for friends!

    Hi! My name is Barb. I am a 60 yo female living in western NC. A mother of two daughters and a lover of mountains and nature. I just joined MFP today in an effort to loose weight and control my blood sugar. I'm basically diabetic, but not yet using insulin. I really want to change my diet, loose weight and prevent diabetes. Looking for a place for encouragement and support. I'd really also like to become fit enough to enjoy hiking and kayaking once again.

    Hi I'm Beth. I am 55, type2 on metformin only. Diagnosed 5 yrs ago. Rejoined here with premium this time. Trying to get the weight down to help with this plus other health problems. And because of aging and vanity!

    Hi! My name is Beth….really! I’m joking this group to be accountable and to have a place to meet people in similar situations. 3 years ago I had a stroke, which you do not want, and I started to eat right. I’ve lost over 100 pounds since then and would like to lose 15 more.

    I just got back from walking my dog Lulu, cleaned up the kitchen, made my bed, took a shower and got dressed. I’m looking forward to a great day.

    Looking forward to meeting you and sharing our stories! I had a tough job and ate to make myself feel good. My diabetes was out of control and I was doing nothing about it. When I woke up and walked into the kitchen, my best friend was there by the sink and I walked up to her and said Booboop. Apparently that word was the only one I remembered. Long story short, I’m retired now and the most important thing I do is walk my dog. Oh, I pay my bills and do all the other stuff, but my priorities have changed.
