Support Group for anyone with Diabetes

Hello,

My name is Michelle and about 7 months ago I was diagnosed with Diabetes type 2 and I take medication and check my sugar levels twice a day...Having diabetes is still fairly new to me along with the new lifestyle of eating...I still have my sugar cravings and some days are better than other's as they say...Anyone else want to join to give one another support against this horrible disease..Luckily with my current weight loss my Dr thinks if I lose another 50 pounds I can manage my diabetes without taking Metformin twice a day...So of course that is my goal..besides being at a healthy weight but getting of this medicine...I have seen too many loved ones struggle with the disease and I can not end up with complications....

hi this is Fran and I also need support ...so lets hook up

Hi Fran, I'm Steve, and I'm another diabetic. This conversation happened a year ago: now we have the "groups" feature. Go to groups on the bar up top, and look for the Diabetes groups. We have nearly a thousand members.

Hi!  I'm Willie and I'm 60 years old.  I was self-diagnosed and comfirmed to be a type 2 diabetic about 2 years ago.  I was at the doctors last week, and I had the normal A1c test, plus a urinalysis.  Well, I received a call from the doctor this morning, and he said I should lose 5 pounds and exercise more.  Well, guess what, I have lost weight, I don't eat junk/fast food.  I do T'ai Chi, and ... I'm not necessarily sedentary.  What a way to start the day.  Of course, it IS Monday, after all.  I wish I had someone in my area with whom I could travel on this semi-struggle.  Oh well.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Willie
