Diabetes

Well, Oprah, thanks but "No" (Update Lady Magenta now 25 lbs)
I was wondering when someone would notice my weight loss. Even for a big lady like me, 25 lbs is a lot. I can feel it. I have left the 5x tunic blouse behind and I am now wearing a very loose 4x tunic soon to be replaced with a 3 X. I know, most of you can gratefully not relate and I hope you will never get that big. But,…

I have been taking metformin on and off for years (PCOS and prediabetes). I am going to give it a real try this time. I think the longest I've taken it as prescribed was around 3 months.

Hi, I was diagnosed as prediabetic and I'm trying to get my AIC/blood sugar down. I also need to lose about 25 lbs. Does anyone know what macros are good for this?

How do you decide how many calories or macros?
So I see that you can go on and plug in your weight age and things like that and it’ll say here or use this many calories. And you can do the same to get your macros. I can’t help thinking that that is not specific to a person so to speak. I wanted to be able to do keto, but it doesn’t work out well for me as I don’t have…
