My name is Claudia and I am a Type 2 Diabetic. I was diagnosed about 15 years ago so I am NOT new to diabetes and the trials and tribulations of controlling "out-of-control" blood sugar. I have recently become quite obsessed with logging every thing I eat and drink every day and logging my exercise as well. I am feeling really positive about this process and cannot recommend it enough to newly diagnosed diabetics because it is a real eye-opener as to what exactly I am consuming and how each food, exercise impacts my blood sugar. I have, at times, had very well-controlled blood sugar and at others been completely out of control. I feel I should have followed my doctors advice years ago and logged all this much earlier. I probably would not have fallen "off the wagon" so many times in the past!! I look forward to sharing what I've learned in 15 years of struggling with this disease and learning from all of you as well!

I have been married to my husband Glen for 45 years and have 3 daughters and 6 grandchildren. I am a retired community college instructor and I want to do everything I can to have a healthy, active retirement for as long as I possibly can! :-)

Welcome to the Forum! :)

Well said! Most of us can't express the need enough, for counting carbs, logging data and the need for testing often. Good luck with your control and management.

I am curious as to any meds that you are taking, in the past and present
