Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Hi. I am new here to the group. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes last July with an A1C of 7.6 My last A1C checkup was at 5.6. Going to the gym for cardio and strength training is something that I do every day-along with walking and working out at home, too. Working out is the easy part; maintaining a healthy diet and learning portion control is not so easy for me. I got up to 329 pounds last year, went down to 293. Then Covid reallly disrupted my workout plan. I stand now at 311 and feeling better every day. Time to check my glucose level.

Hi. I was diagnosed with Type Two Diabetes about 15 years ago. Wish I had your current A1-C number. Mine stays at about 6.6. going up or down a few points depending on how bad my diet has been. I love sweets, noodles, and potatoes. Especially French fries. I also eat when I'm upset.

Good morning. I also love bread & pastas but am learning to have those in moderation. However I do tend to get off my diet when I am stressed. I go to the gym every day, and that really helps me with the endorphins to help me feel better and sleep uninterrupted. Thank you for sharing with me. We can and will handle our respective situations.
