Thanks for pointing this out. It's been VERY confusing! I don't have the capability of pinning topics to "discussions". Previously pinned topics were migrated to the announcements page after the upgrade. Moving forward would everyone like to post our morning numbers in this thread or use the announcement page topic? 105…

Thanks for starting this topic mrron! Their upgrade has clearly brought with it many challenges in my attempts to navigate this new format too. For most it's very confusing. Especially for people trying to find the community groups with no search feature. Previously, groups you were a member of, appeared on the main…

Walgreens, Kroger, Walmart and other chain pharmacies that I often turn to, offer alcohol/sugar free Diabetic Tussin products for use towards nasal and decongestant relief. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/diabetic-tussin-cough-suppressant-%26-expectorant-dm-maximum-strength-liquid/ID=prod6009752-product

Hi Dawn, I'm glad to hear you and your healthcare team, after many attempts, found an approach that helps to keep your blood sugars at healthier levels. Just a thought, seeking out a recommendation from your healthcare provider for a registered dietitian specializing in diabetic nutrition in your area might be helpful in…

Was this a fasting, pre meal or post meal test result? A 5.9 is good imo, especially if it's a post mealtime test result.

Hi PeJay, One of the best tools, aside from using MFP's nutrition tracking program, is a blood glucose monitor. By testing before meals and again 2 hrs after mealtimes you'll quickly learn how the food choices you've made affect your blood sugar levels. If you're insured, check with your health insurance carrier to learn…

Hi kalenawald, I'm glad you've found your way back to mfp, and to this community group too. Equally great is your decision to no longer avoid seeking medical help to prevent or delay the unwanted serious complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes. I'm confident there are others here who can empathize with your…

Hi Bellyemperor, Sure. Post your question here, or send me an PM.

Hi Carrie, Taking steps towards improvement one day at a time is a good-sound approach. The myftinesspal tracking program has been a blessing for me. It took a year to reach and exceed my goal weight expectations. This program really does work! See the help link below: How do I invite a current member to be my friend on…

Hi Connie, I completed a wellness program through my local YMCA a few years ago, and found these sessions to be tremendously beneficial too. One of the best decisions in life I could have made for myself. It's great you've found a doctor who you feel comfortable with. You've made good progress so far by utilizing the help…

Glad you're finding those links helpful Don!

Congratulations mrron, there's not many greater emotional experiences than slipping into a smaller pair of jeans when working towards our goals. Hey, Costco has some great fashion going on man, and pappa's got a new pair of jeans. Well done. Enjoy your well deserved accomplishment!
