Welcome! I, too, love gardening and I call my backyard garden my "farm." It's definitely one of my happy places. Except for the weeds.

Thank you @cyn_love! I'm hoping yours will be in the normal range when you do the retest.

Welcome!

Hi Mike! Sounds like you're doing great! I have DDP Yoga but it's been a while since I've done it. I'm going to have to remedy that soon.

I had my first 3 month A1C test yesterday since being diagnosed T2D. It was 7.0 in March and 6.3 last March. Yesterday's result was 5.6. My doctor is happy with that and isn't going to increase the Metformin dosage at this time so I'll be sticking with 500 mg 2X a day.

Hi @rhonafranw7450! I sent you a request. I think you might be able to add friends on the app by going to Friends and then clicking the plus sign. You would need to enter the MFP username and send a message. I think. I haven't tried it on the app yet. It's certainly not as easy or quick as the "Add Friend" button on the…

Sounds really good. Thanks for sharing! We eat salmon frequently and I’m always interested in new recipes for it.

I'm almost 50. For me, I found that my body being slim and my brain feeling slim were two different things. And the two have not always matched during my life. When I first lost a great deal of weight, I had to fix my brain as much as I had to fix my body. I have no idea what it was like to be thin as a kid or teenager. I…

That's a great idea! I've used them as the burger before but never as the bun. I will need to try this.
-
You got this!

I'm sorry for your losses!
-
That's fantastic! Congratulations!

If you like egg rolls, you can try the Egg Roll in a Bowl. It's basically the inside of an egg roll. It's not only low carb but it can also be low calorie, depending on how it's made. We've made two different variations of this. If you look up "Egg Roll in a Bowl," you'll find a ton of recipes to choose from which can suit…

Hi @barbwood05 welcome!

Welcome Joan! I'm type 2, diagnosed this March. I had pre-diabetic results last year and didn't make any changes. Not very smart of me, right? I came back to MFP so I could track carbs easier. Keeping track of my food has definitely helped - my problem has always been eating too much. I'm also on Metformin 2 x 500mg. My…

Welcome John! I'm another one with type 2. I wish you the best!
-
@zumbaforever Oh thank you! I will definitely check this out. I need to start working more with weights. @Rockmama1111 I remember Buns of Steel very well! My aunt had that and I remember doing it with my cousins. Was there an Abs of Steel also? @ninerbuff Oh yes! I had Tae Bo on VHS back then, too. I got that one after I…

Welcome Doris!

Hi Michelle! Welcome! I can't speak for anyone else but I got the premium for a year because I wanted the convenience of using the barcode scanner and it gave me more options for tracking carbs (net carbs mode, etc.) I'm a fairly recently diagnosed diabetic and I came back here specifically so it would be easier to track…

Welcome! I have a desk job, too, and it’s super easy to just not do a lot during the workday. I’ve started to get up and walk around more often and, if I’m in the office, take a walk at lunch, even if it’s just 10 minutes. Of course that’s easy now for summer. I’m sure I’ll need to get more creative when winter hits. Best…

Hi Fink! Welcome! I recently came back to MFP after a doctor’s visit, too, when I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I had pre-diabetic test results last year at that appointment and didn’t make any changes. You’re smart to do this now! I wish you the best!
-
Hi Mychellelynne! I sent you a request. I'm a recently diagnosed T2 diabetic who came back to MFP to get myself under control. So far it seems to be working but my real test will be when I get my next A1C in a few weeks.
-
I like the way you think!
-
This definitely sounds like a healthy diet. I wish you and your husband all the best!
-
You're doing great!

Hi @Sangunner! I'm also T2D. I use MFP to track my carbs/calories. I currently have my goal set at 30% carbs. I generally tend to pre-log most days so I can see in advance where my numbers will be and where I might have some room. My diabetic dietician gave me the number of 30-45 grams of carbs per meal to use as a…

Welcome back! I restarted a few months ago, too.

I made a shrimp creole last night. I used the recipe builder in MFP so I could log it and was shocked by how low calorie it actually was. I've made it several times before and just never thought about it. But it's really just vegetables, shrimp, seafood stock and herbs/spices/seasonings. I'm always interested in good…
-
I'll be glad to join you. I was diagnosed T2D at the end of March and take 500 mg of metformin 2X a day. I take one with breakfast and one with dinner. Those first two weeks I had zero appetite and random nausea. It's been better since. I'll be going for another A1C test in a few weeks and at that point my doctor will…

Welcome! Come join us here - https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1772-type-2-diabetes-support-group I was diagnosed in March and have been using MFP since then to track my carbs & calories. I've since lost 33 pounds but have more to go so I'll be around for a while. I wish you the best!
