I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My biggest challenge is trying to keep my blood sugar down while working swing shift (day & night). I have struggled with weight most of my adult life. I have lost 27 lbs. but I'm still a little heavy for my height. My goal is to lose 40 more pounds.

Welcome to the Forum!

Congrats on your weight loss, keep up the good work!

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.
