Hi, all! I'm excited to find this app and site. I'm 57 years old and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 5 years ago. I've been pretty much in denial about it this whole time. Tried adjusting my diet and just about starved to death (not literally!) because I couldn't eat any of the things I liked! But I am now coming out of a two+ year bout with depression and my outlook on the diabetes is improving as well. I'm exercising on a fairly regular basis and trying to get the diet back in line again. I'm finding that diabetes related cookbooks are not helpful for me. Most of the foods in them are nasty, as far as I'm concerned. This time, I'm trying to just cut out the carbs as much as possible and change what and how I eat a little at a time so it doesn't seem so abrupt and harsh. I'm on oral meds so far. My glucose levels are a little too high still, but coming down. I'm excited to find this group.
