I'm having problems managing Type 2 Diabetes with medication

Way to go Katie! 2 of my cousins were also able to either lower or stop meds with weight loss (both are in their 70's) and keep the A1C below 7.0. I always love to cheer people on as I have with my husband who has been living with Type2 diabetes for 27 years now. We have largely taken bread and rolls out of our home, and I no longer bake like I used to, which I really miss, but we are both healthier because of it.
Keep up the good work.

It's really hard work. I see so many Type 2 diabetics that just eat anything they want and compensate with their medications. I don't want to do that. This way I don't have to worry if blood sugar is way too high or way too low. I don't have to check glucose only once or twice per day. Plus, if I want to eat a dessert, I can plan for it that day with my diet. Yes, I have to exercise but need to do so anyway!! Breads, pasta, etc. are a no no here as well. Plus my husband eats anything that I want to make. Thanks for the compliment!!
