New to group
I just joined this group because I have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I am familiar with a lot of the diabetes lifestyle because it runs very heavy in my family. My question is...are we still counting food units? I know that my sister did but she has been gone since 1999. I know that a lot has changed.
Cutting carbs instead of counting them
I have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes for the last 2 years. 3 weeks ago, my doctor said do something about controlling your sugar or I will have to finally diagnose you as a diabetic and put you on medication. I do not want that. I do not want to take medication or check my blood everyday. So she said come back in 3…

A big surprise and quick results
I've been with MFP for three days after being diagnosed as pre-diabetic 9 days ago. A big shock and rather scary as I have recently met somebody with Diabetes who had a fairly hopeless management process for his illness. For people here I'll just tell you some background and how I've lived and eaten.....and then I'll let…
Carb counting for Blood Glucose?
I am trying to manage Type2DM without meds (I am on Januvia that costs like 100$/mo) and have been trying to manage my CHO intake to 45gr or less each meal... It's tough, anyone in this group counting CHOs?

Hi! New member
I am new to MFP. I began using it to track my food and exercise as part of a Diabetes Prevention Program. I really like all of the handy tools that help make it easier.

Egg Whites for Breakfast and Veggies for Lunch
For me eating breakfast is really new. I never really ate in the morning before but once you start and you see the benefits, you don't want to stop. I have egg whites, about 10-15 TBsp per day with a little ketchup and I find I am full 15 minutes later. 3 hours later I will have sugar snap peas as a snack. It's a low…
