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…
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.

I’ve cut out…

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…
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…
