Diabetes

[jeffsi435]

Any other diabetics out there? I am type 2 diabetic since 2001. I am trying to get my A1C down from a 8.6 last time they checked. It would be great if we could use this forum to hold each other accountable to more healthy living and taking care of our diabetes. I want to lose about another 12 pounds. I have already lost 20.

I kept a food diary starting 5 days ago using a site online. Not sure if it is okay to post the link or not.

I feel you pain!

I tested about the same as you about a month ago.

My am test is now between 103 and 93. I stopped eating anything after supper and have cut down on carbs.

I also started a different medicine.

Listen Brother ! Sometimes we Must Stand in Faith ,no matter How it looks ? Healing does not always happen quickly ! But we need to believe it no matter What ?

Many get down hearted and think it not going to happen and allow Doubt to enter in ! I had to WAIT on healing before !
Just like when My daughter and i prayed for her kitty to come back to life ! She kept telling me Nothing happening Daddy ! I kept saying ? we have to wait Honey !

I was tryimng to keep Her in Faith , satan or Her own understanding was telling Her to doubt ?
but we Both saw the miracle ! Praise the LORD , Thank You LORD JESUS !

Not the only time i had to wait !

The Mqain thing is to know Always it GOD WILL , whatever takes place ! But i Try Very hard to never doubt ! I Love you buddy and Pray the LORD heals You 100% and causes you To know without a doubt He did it for You and For the GLORY of our LORD JESUS !

I Do not have vPerfect understanding of Healing , Been healed many times . Saw lots of healings and Miracles !
Still I am No expert on the subject ! But i try Not to doubt!

the last two days my blood sugar fasting has been 74 and 63. I have really cut down on the carbs and also stopped eating after dinner. No more fast food either.

Wow what a difference. Are you taking any pills? By eating less carbs you are giving your body a rest. After a while it may function better.

Walking also will help you to control your sugar level.

Yes, I take metformin 1,000 mg twice a day also.
I go to the gym about 3 times a week and have for the last year. That alone was not enough to get my numbers down.

I just started taking metformin 1500 mg too. It seems to be working. But I had to cut down on eating too. I have lost 3 belt notches over the last 3 months.
