Following a no sugar added lifestyle has been such a positive change for me entirely. This includes bypassing any artificial sweeteners as well. Being a diabetic, artificial sweeteners were still tricking my brain and my glucose. Now, I cut my insulin dosage from 160 units a day to only 30 units with 35lbs gone since July.…

People have told me I look like the following. Oprah - Insulting, but wish I had her money. Jill Scott - Okay, I can handle that. Honestly, I don't know.

I totally agree with Robin_Bin!! Don't deprive yourself of anything anymore! If you want it, eat it in moderation at a reasonable portion. Adopt a lifestyle, not a diet.

Thank you for your words of encouragement and support!! This site is really helping me physically and mentally through this change of life!

I can speak on this topic from a personal perspective with support that Obesity should NOT be protected under the ADA. While I have PCOS, which is an autoimmune disorder that can make it extremely difficult to lose weight, and in most cases makes it very easy to gain weight quickly; it still is not the main cause for my…

Glad to see this group available. I just learned of being Type I at the end of July after a scary DKA situation and glucose of 998. I was in the ICU for a week, and every since my release from the hospital my life has forever changed. I am on some high doses of Humalog 3 times a day and Levemir 2 times a day now and…

Hang in there Broadwaybound! It is so comforting to be on a site like this as well as other PCOS support sites when you have this disorder. This syndrome has been around for a very long time, but is finally starting to become more known by doctors. When I was younger, my doctor told me I had a hormonal imbalance and had…

I was pre-diabetic most of my life until the pre was dropped. My suggestion for you is to exercise daily. I know it sounds cliche, but a body in motion is the ticket towards optimum health. I was only exercising maybe 1 - 3 times a week when I was "pre-diabetic". Another thing is to be carb aware, but not a carb counting…

Thank you for the encouragement!

I have had PCOS since I was an early teen, and back then the only support was birth control pills. That only made my symptoms worse, because the hirsutism just continued to get worse as I aged, and weight gain was rapid, and weight loss was virtually impossible. I didn't begin taking Metformin until I was about 30, and it…

So far I have found this site to be very helpful with calorie and carb management. I wish you well and good health going forward. TK

Howdy! Well, I just learned of my Diabetes on 7/28 after experiencing DKA with a glucose of 998. Somehow, I drove myself to the hospital and stayed in ICU for 6 days as a result of this new discovery. I also have PCOS, and just 6 months ago, my Endocrinologist said I was pre-diabetic, but that's all. Well, my Pancreas in…
