Welcome to the Type 2 Diabetes Support Group! :smile: Hi, my name is Bob. I'm living a happy, healthy and complication free lifestyle since my T2 diagnosis in 1982. I'm treating my T2D condition with Lantus long acting insulin, Metformin 2x/day, along with Novolog mealtime insulin to cover my mealtime carbohydrates. It's…
Hi there, Type 2 Diabetes Support Group! :drinker: The following is a list of online diabetic communities I've found to be very educational, beneficial and helpful over the years towards my diabetes self-care goals. Each site is unique and beneficial, packed with invaluable information for those new to diabetes, in…
Hello! I work for MyFitnessPal on our community team and am reaching out to various group leaders to get feedback. I noticed the group leaders for this group are no longer active. Is there anyone in this group who would like to take over leadership here? Please send me a private message. Thank you!
Have a blood glucose tracking app you like to share for your mobile device? share it here!
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…
After six months of low carb dieting. From an A1C of 10.4 and blood sugar readings as high as 300 FINALLY down to normal. And all without drugs. I am so So SO VERY HAPPY!!!!!😃😅🙏
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…
I am going in for a blood test next week and I am wondering if they are useful for T2 diabetes, or just for T1? useful if you have gotten your blood sugar down to normal, at least some mornings every week, and are trying to keep it that way if they are bulky or uncomfortable? Are they expensive? If they are appropriate if…
My morning blood sugar is finally lower than my weight. BS 159 Weight 162. I hope to be in the normal/ideal range in another three months. No drugs, just diet and exercise.

So this morning, I was amazed and delighted to test my fasting blood sugar at 124. I SO want to get down to 100. I went out to walk and throw the ball to my impatient German Shepherd before breakfast, and about 3000 steps later, came in. I tested my blood sugar before eating and it was 177. Without eating. I know exercise…
Has anyone tried one of these smart watches that supposedly give you a BG reading? Do they work?
I'm on a very low carb diet, and so obviously I'm not eating an orange or having a glass of juice. I just checked my vitamin C tablets, gummies, etc. Each one has 4 grams of carbs. That's a lot of carbs to me, for a tablet. I checked how much vitamin C is in a cup of spinach/arugula, or in a cucumber and it is pretty…
I have an A1C of 14 and need help in getting it down. Any suggestions. Today I cut out bread and drink water. I've also been doing the Caroline Jordan 10 minute workout everyday, but these area low impact exercises so I'm not sure if they are doing anything. I am 30 so I think I still have some time left to improve. Is…
