Good morning yes I'm a diabetic since 2016 and the doctors really didn't tell me until 2017 so I'm on metformin and I take it off and on cause of the danger side affect. I walk everyday, drink plenty of water with lemons. and eat an healthy meal but that's some times hard for me. can you give me some Ideals on meals.
