No longer pre-diabetic
I have been pre-diabetic for years. I got serious about my health and fitness a few months ago after a very scary episode of losing vision in my eye. I am surprised it only took me two months to make progress! My A1C is still on the high end of normal but, I am so happy I am making steps backwards. :)

Type 2 Diabetes and Fiber - Food Recommendations
I recently had a sigmoidectomy (colon resection). In pre-op, I found out I was Type 2 diabetic with an A1C of 7.3. Doctors have suggested starting with DEW (diet, exercise, water). I've already lost 10 pounds. Here's the challenge -- because of my colon issues -- I should be eating at least 30 grams of fiber a day. I don't…

Old dog, new tricks
I resolved to lose weight about two years ago. With the help of Noom I lost 55 lbs. I started to take Pilates lessons, walked more, and reduced my A1C from 7.2 to 6.0. I’m diabetic 2. I gained about 10 lbs back and want to lose it and then some more. Being diabetic makes food choices more complex.

LADA Type 1.5 diabetes.
I'm looking for more people like me. I was misdiagnosed as a Type 2. LADA is Type 1. Adult onset. If you come in overweight docs will assume you are Type 2. And wont test! I was put on the wrong med for 2 years. Are there any other LADA's out there?

Finally back at it
I’ve been off this app for awhile now. The past couple of years have been rough. I had a stroke, was diagnosed with diabetes and cancer and ended up having major surgery this summer. I lost some weight during all of that but it wasn’t in a good way. I still need to lose about 50 pounds to get to my goal weight. I also need…

My name is Bree. New to the community.
I lost my sense of smell when I got Covid a few years ago, and now, as time is going on, it is also affected my taste, so there are many things that taste terrible to me that used to be good, including healthy foods. I hope y’all can help motivate me. :-). In the last three years, since having my baby, I’ve lost 46 pounds…

I started to let things slide, stopped myfitnesspal and then left it all fly out the window. I now need to re-lose the weight and regain my health with what will likely be a ketogenic to carnivore diet for life. And…
