You can’t run out your fork.

I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes about 20 years ago. Over the past 2 years I lost 55 lbs and moved my A1C from 7.2 to 5.9. Over the last six months, I gained 10 lbs back with the A1C now at 6.2. I’m physically fairly active but keeping my eating in check is at times a challenge. As they say, you can’t run out your fork.

A good observation...
I was diagnosed in 2016 and am still working on it.
Weight management is critical.

I'm newly diagnosed (6.8), and just starting to learn how to eat. Been listening to Dr Jason Fung on youtube. Intermittent fasting and relative reduction in carbs. I used to be so hungry, and had no idea how to control that. Control your hunger and you can control your eating. Except for the fasting part, ha ha! Delaying breakfast isn't so bad though.1

Hey! Glad you are here.
I think a previous generation of T2 diabetics just carried on with the diet and doctors adjusted meds until the A1C was reasonable. The diet and managing carbs had a huge impact for me.0 -
