Hi all,
I've had Type 2 diabetes for the last 5 years, under good control now, and learnt a lot along the way. Hope to share my knowledge and learn from others and keep myself motivated to stick to my diet and exercise.

Many people will try to tell you what you can’t eat with diabetes.
Most will be well-meaning.
Rather than compounding the problem by telling you what you should
eat, I’d recommend a simpler method, eat by your meter.

Hi PrincessLinda,Originally Posted by princesslinda
Yes, I am on Metformin 500mg 2x/day. My latest A1C from Sept was 5.8. Was diagnosed in 2004 with A1C 11.2 at a workplace screening, fasting BG 303. What a shocker that was. Started off with 1000mg twice a day, took some statins along the way for Cholesterol, now control Cholesterol through diet and exercise
