Hello From Michigan
 

Hello! I have type 2 diabetes (diagnosed in November 2002). Currently taking Januvia and Metformin. Last Ha1c 6.8 (5/13/10). Better (also worse) than I have seen it in past (7.6, also 6.4). I look forward to "meeting all of you. All the best!

Welcome to the Forum! :)

It is good to see an experienced T2 on the board. I hope others can learn from your trials and errors. Good luck with getting that A1c where you want it to be.

Thanks for your warm welcome dano. 

Greetings Hannah,
What are you doing to get your numbers down? Any insight would be helpful. I hit a rough patch about 10 days ago- stress at work- so I went back to writing down everything I eat and testing many more times in the day, and increased the exercise-back on track and have actually lost 1-2lbs, on insulin, so I'm excited about that.

I find that smaller meals and salads (greek, caesar, with protein, with fruit) help me. Exercise helps when I can do it (I have been very anemic, vitamin d3 deficient, and managed to injure a leg recently, so I have not been getting enough exercise) - but I am sure that exercise and weight loss WILL do eonders! Congrats on your weight loss, exercise, and monitoring successes! Keep me posted!
