@salliesallie Bless your heart! I understand how you feel — I was so angry when I was diagnosed with type2! No one in my family had ever had diabetes. I was just sure the doc was wrong.

All of the advice you’ve been given is great! You can do this!

I started on januvia, but now I don’t take any meds for T2 diabetes. It’s diet controlled. I found out that I could control it by diet after losing between 15 and 20 pounds over a 3 week period following a throat procedure. I do not recommend losing weight like that! But after I got better I was taken off both januvia and blood pressure meds.

So losing weight was key for me to control my T2 diabetes. I hope you can lose some weight and limit carbs to about 50 per meal (about 20 for between meal snacks) and can make yourself exercise! (Making myself exercise is the hardest part for me because I’m a lazy Lima bean!)
