Metformin usage
Hello everybody, after the very bad results of my blood tests last April and the check of the sugar curve, my doctor recommended the use of Metformin (to be precise, Retaform 500 mg) and basically explained to me that I need to change my diet and my way of thinking about life in general. The result is that now 15 months…

Meal plans
Hello- been a type 2 diabetic for many years. Done WW many times but I am tired of counting points, wasn’t successful either the last two years on WW. At the point I need a new meal plan. Any suggestions? I lost 40# before with MFP so am looking forward to this new start.

Kidneys leaking protein...
is what the doctor told me on my last visit. He didn't explain what that means, or what to do about it. He doesn't do the same thing as my previous doctors on what's supposed to be my diabetes check ups. No weigh ins, no blood pressure check, no foot check. He did tell me to keep track of my blood pressure at home until my…

Newly diabetic
Hi, all. I’m newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic and I’m having to relearn how to eat. I’m on Metformin twice a day. ChatGPT has been a huge help in figuring out which foods are going to affect me and how to make healthier choices. My goal is to get off medication in a few months, but I have a LOT of work to do. I’ve cut out…

Hi Everyone.
I have a doctors appointment this week so I had my blood work done on Friday. My A1C was 6.2%, the lowest it's been since this whole adventure with diabetes began. And for the first time, they did a glucose random and it was 4.3(110). And I'm down 13.5 pounds since January 22.. I'm not really trying to lose weight, but it…

SO SICK of gaining weight!
When I first was told my A1C level, I made some great changes and followed a diabetic diet. Losing 15-20 pounds pretty quickly… but life happened, and I stopped paying attention, so now I am back to where I started. I am trying to build the motivation to do something about it, and this week has been a good week. Lower…

blood sugar apps
Currently I keep a calendar on my desk, where I enter my weight and blood sugar during the day. I realize MFP lets you enter blood sugar, but I don't think it lets you do a time. I'd like an app that I can track my meals/foods eaten just like MFP, but also blood sugar throughout the day as I enter it, and will give me…

A1C and Freestyle libre 2.
Last Dr.'s appointment, my doctor lowered my insulin ratio. So, I thought YAY. My sensors kept acting up though. They kept losing the signal and wouldn't scan. When I called ABBOTT for help, it turns out the sensors aren't compatible with Apple Iphone 7. Something must have changed when I updated the software. Sooo, they…
