I am a 58 yo long time type 2. I go through long periods and don't test my glucose or watch my diet. I have resolved to take charge of my diabetes and get back on track for good.I have been tracking my progress since 2/1/13. I have lost a few pounds and my glucose average is 118. A big improvement. When I am on track my A1C is +- 7. The last one was 10.1.
I am also new to forums in general. What does post a poll mean? What is a tag?

Welcome to the Forum!

Congratulations on the weight loss and getting back on track!

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

A poll is a thread that you can set up for people to vote in, I think that there has only been one done that I can remember and here is a link to that poll. A tag is a word located at the bottom of a post. It is connected to the "tag search" list and if clicked on will take you to other posts of similar definition.
