diabetes, type 2
"I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 6 weeks ago. On Metformin twice a day for 4 weeks, carbs not over 130 per day w/ meal plan&snacks according to myplate guidelines. I keep a daily diary, recording the date & time of meals, content w/ carb counts. I'm doing this to help me see how what I eat translates to blood glucose levels which I was taking frequently the first two weeks, now once AM fasting.

As a 65 yo woman, VERY obese, never had a high bs until this year. My highest bs were in the 300's and a A1C of 9.8. With change in diet and Metformin, my last fasting BS was 104. I've lost 20 lbs, w/no diarrhea or stomach upets at all, but dramatic disinterest in eating, portions seem to big now  I sure needed benefits Metformin is giving!"
