Don't take life to serious. Serious health scare and reality check

Been type 2 for a long time, for years could con roll with diet alone, now take metformin 2x a day

It isn't that bad. Sure lots we shouldn't eat, but lots we can. I do not DIET, I changed my eating habits. On a diet you cannot have this or that, changed eating habits if you really want something it is in moderation, maybe a small bite.

Also recipes can be modified to be better for you.

I take a 1000 mg cinnamon caplet daily after breakfast, also eat oatmeal a lot of mornings with walnuts, cinnamon, fruit a little spends brown sugar and sugar free syrup. Don't eat as much meat as I use to, started eating some peanut butter (jif has a lower sodium and reduced sugar SIMPLY JIF) for the protein

Watch the carbs, get your veggies and watch portion size.

Have stopped drinking OJ and many other fruit drinks. Don't eat bananas or large oranges since they spike my blood sugar.

GET TO THE CLASS, read about what you should eat. Use your test kit and try and keep fasting under 100 and 2 hour after eating under 140

Once you see what causes your sugar to go high try and limit them.

Glad your company is working with you this is something you can control. My doctor said at last visit I should go on a vegan diet and might get off the metformin. Told him no way in hell was I going to be a vegetarian.

Now my morning fasting is usually higher, have read this is common, so a little snack before bedtime seems to help
