I'm hope so too. Rest and drink.

August A1c back to 6.6 - wasn't following diet very well, but thryoid numbers are finally in the normal range. If it isn't one, it's the other!

Looking for friends for inspiration and will return the same. I need to lose 100 pounds. I like using MFP, it keeps me on track. About me: I love the Lord, church is a big part in my life as well as my kids (now all grown up) and my husband. Live in a suburb, work full time. I like sweets more than salty (hence the extra…

Nice to meet you. I have a desk job too, diabetes type 2 and am overweight and love the Lord. I am 56 years old with three grown children (all still at home, 2 in college and 1 just finished college) and a wonderful husband.

Hi everyone. I just found this thread and need some motivation. I'm joining the challenge a little late.

A1c was 5.8 at this check up. September found out I have diabetes A1c was 9.4. Dec 6.1. March 6.4 and now 5.8. But TSH dropped big time from 4.28 to .33. Kept diabetes meds at 2mg Glimepiride 2x day and dropped synthroid dosage. Ugh - needs to get these numbers steady. Happy about the A1c - not happy about the thyroid (I…

YEAH

Welcome. I am a wife and mom to three kids and work full time also. Not the night shift like you though - but I have my afternoon challenges - I want to much between lunch and dinner. Keep up the good work.

Wonderful on your A1c level. I know that keeping my level down (was 6.1 last check and am getting it checked tomorrow) is good and I feel so much better than I did before I even knew I had diabetes.

I heard this on the news last night - recommended levels of A1c 7-8% - interesting read: http://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2674121/hemoglobin-1c-targets-glycemic-control-pharmacologic-therapy-nonpregnant-adults-type

Looking back at my own childhood, we ate three meals a day and maybe popcorn for a snack in the evening. We didn't snack between meals at all. I agree with the others - processed foods, sugar, snacking, overeating, fast food all contribute to overweight. I remember when I got my first job and had money and it was so easy…

138- which is high for me - slept in two hours - does that make a difference? Normally take at 6 and today took at 8

She is keeping me on the Glimepiride - check A1c again in 3 months. She was very surprised at my results. Told me to watch for low blood sugar - eat an apple is what she said! lol. I only get the low blood sugar if I go too long without some food - it hasn't bothered me for weeks, so I'm good.

Interesting. I see the doctor today - let's see what she says.

So excited. My A1c is now 6.1%. It was 9.4% three months ago (when I found out I had diabetes). I take 2mg of glimepiride twice a day. I've been watching my carbs closely and eating better. I know the combination of diet and medicine has helped lower it and I'm so glad. Now to keep watching diet and lose some weight and…

Question about sugar free. I just bought a sugar free chocolate covered marshmallow treat for myself since I need to watch my sugar. But it has 22g carbs - sugar is 0g, sugar alcohol is 20g and believe it or not there is 1g of protein. Is this really "ok" to eat? The carbs are high - will this affect my BG levels? Thanks -…

Wonderful!

I got the same result - 1200 calories or less and it wasn't as hard as I thought. I cut out all sweets and cut down on bread and I've lost 20 pounds so far (since Aug1). So slowly losing but losing! I never was a pop drinker and basically just drink coffee, tea and water. There are days when I am over 1200 but not every…

I wish you success! My mom (80 yrs) just had hip replacement surgery and she feels great - so happy to be rid of the bone on bone pain. I'm happy to support you on this thread. Keep up the good work.

Talked with a diabetic counselor and she said 45-60 per meal. I'm guessing the doctor misunderstood my question.

My A1c was 9.4% - that's when I found out I have T2D - runs in my family so we were watching it every year.

I need to lose weight - maybe that's why?

So first doctor's visit after finding out I have diabetes. With home monitoring so far the numbers are very good according to the doctor. Will get a blood test in December to see what A1c level is. It was easy to give up the sugary treats, but I'm finding there are so many carbs in everything else - I keep going over the…

It works! Thanks for info about two weeks.

Started on Glimepiride. Amyfrogred - I can't figure out how to reply directly to your post.

I had my first visit with the doctor since getting my test results and finding out I have diabetes. My A1c was 9.6 - starting on some meds and checking my numbers daily now for three weeks. Already changed my diet. Feel like I'm starting a whole new life.

Hi Hailey. The first step is realizing that you need God. That you have done. It's more important for you to build a relationship with Jesus and the cussing will stop in time. Here is a bible verse to help you though - 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the…

Hello. My name is Diane and I just got my blood test results and it looks like I have diabetes. T2D runs in my family, so no surprise, but 2 years ago all numbers were normal and now they are off the chart. Can it really happen that fast? I am obese and need to lose weight so now I'm counting calories. I need to learn how…
