I just found out in February of this year I have T2. My doctor has been of no real help. She told me I need to go on a diabetic diet and that I was only allowed 1500-1800 calories a day. That’s it. Oh and she put me on metformi. I take two in the morning and two at night. I found this app from a group of friends. Because…
