[Ronna]

Hello, my name is Ronna from Wisconsin. I just got diagnosed a few days ago with type 2.
I am not regulated, feel like crap but optimistic about beating this and not just managing it.
I am taking metformen. I may have to jump to taking it twice a day because my numbers are still high. I have low back pain, not sleeping and a tad frustrated.
I am an artist a singer and an actress. 57 years old and usually a positive person, but this is a bit overwhelming right now.
I eat organic foods including meat.
I want to start walking 30 minutes 5 times a week.
I just started seeing an integrative
doctor who next month will put me on some herbs and vitamins.

Good luck with your control and management.
