Hello there! You posts are so encouraging. I would love to have you as a friend! I am a 60 yr old diabetic with many health issues, including depression as one of them.

I am so sorry you have been through so much! I know what you mean as far as losing your Mother. I would love to have you as a friend...maybe we can go through this challenge together.

thank you for your post. I have been to a nutritionist twice in the last 18 years old.. It is just a personal struggle that I have had since I was 6 years old, with my weight. I appreciate your help!

I know exactly how you feel. I am 60 yrs old and was recently put on insulin, along with metformin. I would love to have you as a friend if you like. I am here for encouragement for you! Take care!

CONGRATULATIONS! GREAT NEWS FOR YOU!

Great news! Keep up the good work!

Good Work! I just wish mine was in the 8's. I am praying this diet does well for me, and I can come off of the insulin. I have never been on insulin before, and I just started about 3 weeks ago, because my A1C was 9.5, highest it as ever been. Usually mine is between 5-7. In the last 3 days, my blood sugar has been alot…

Congratulations! :smile:

I am no longer on victoza, I was put on lantus two weeks ago. I do 35cc at bedtime. Thanks to all of you for your help!

I couldn't find if I had replied to your post or not. Thank you for your information. I just want you to know I do have a Doctor, I am definitely not stupid. Being 60 yrs old and having 9 different diseases now, and I had cancer 31 yrs ago. I had level 4 melanoma. I don't know if you know anything about this cancer, since,…

Also, I do not take aspart. Thank you!

Also, I check my blood sugar 4 times a day...Thank you!

I appreciate you for your help. It definitely concerns me now, if, I should have gotten on this forum. Some people can be quite ugly. I didn't ask everyone for a diagnosis, I was just asking for help, which seems to have been the wrong thing to do. I am 60 yrs old, I didn't know if I had to watch my sugar intake, I was…

Yes, I know that, I have been through all of that. I have even had a lap band (which I lost 70 pounds) but, I stayed dehydrated all the time, ending up in the ER to get fluids. After about 3 months of that, ending up inpatient in the hospital 3 times, they discovered I had gastroparesis from the diabetes...so, they had to…

Thank you. From what everyone is telling me, I am do great with my carbs. I just have to hang in there. I have always been obese, even as a child, and this is very hard for me, but, with God and people like you to help me, I think I will do quite good. Have a good day!

are you a Doctor..if you are I appreciate the information. I know exactly what my Alc is, because that is why I was put on the insulin 2 weeks ago. I didn't expect for anyone on here to tell me the exact amount of sugar I could have, I just didn't know if there was a cut off that you couldn't go over, like there is in…

Thank you so much. From what everyone is telling me, I am doing great with the carbs. Congratulations on coming off of the insulin. I have only been on it for 2 weeks, and I don't like doing it. I was on Victoza and 2000 mil a day of metformin. Hopefully, this mfp will help me a lot. I have already met new people in the…

Thank you so much!
