Some of us post our BG levels in the food notes sections. Some of us break up snacks; i.e. midmorning, mid afternoon, evening or some just use the heading Snacks and just add snacks each tiime they eat MFP does allow you to change the labels (name headings) in your food diary. You can make changes by clicking on "settings"…

Yep....that's when I feel the sharp pain....upon rising....... on the right side........ Of course I'm hoping it is just the gas from the metformin to blame... But sometimes when I eat almonds I get it to...and like you I still want almonds....just have cut back a lot on the things that are causing the pain.....…

I've had exccessive gas and sharp pains sometimes. I'm scheduled for ab sono to get a good viewing of stomach, liver, bile doc (which is left over after gall bladder surgery) and pancreas. New GI doc is saying after gallbladder surgery and removal of all gas causing foods. GI says it is possible for stones to form in the…

My meter was free. My strips are 50 a jar but the pharmacy doesn't let me renew them earlier than "50 days of strip use"; i.e. I'm allowed one test a day. Seemingly this would make it hard for me to eat to my meter. So yesterday I went on a trip to CVS and I saw meters ranging from 9.99 to 20.00. Most included strips in…

Congratulations.

Awesome accomplishments. Cogratulations on a job well done. :smile:

Definitely check out the diabetic support groups. There are Type 2 members who when on insulin for various reasons and some of them have now been taken off insulin....Again visit the groups so that you can see and "hear" their stories in their own words. I always want to leave hope on the table if at all possible.

You my add me too if you like. Diagnosed in Sept. 2012. Down for 8.4 to 6.0 (Dec) Like you many have noticed the wieght loss and are now stating to say "enough".....not according to my BMI....15 more before I reach "health" weight range.

Congratulations and a great way to start the new year!

I agree Laura and that's fantasitc news.

What types of things did you do to bring your number down? Are you on medicine or did you accomplish this solely with diet and exercise? Was there a specific plan of attack that you followed?

Thank you and may you have the same.

I'm glad that you have joined the group. I'm sure that many will eventually stop by and welcome you. I've learned so much from the people within this group and I believe it has and is helping me to manage my numbers better. I'm glad that your new meds are working well for you and hopefully will continue to steer you into a…

Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone. ' I had to remind myself that staying on Metformin, for protection, is not necessarily a bad thing, but I have to admit that I was looking forward to coming off of it. I've read that it is the test should be lower than 5.7....to be Normal....5.7 is prediabetes.... Now she…

Great job everyone......

I'm glad you posted this because there are so many books out there that contradict each othter in terms of what to and what to not eat. Or rather maybe I should same different people have found different ways to control their BG. I'm learning that I have to find what works for me and it may not be what the ADA is spouting…

Congratulations.....You're following the South Beach way of eating right? Congratulations again for your dedication to becoming healthy.

Awesome accomplishments.
