My name is Dan and I've had type 2 for a few years now. Looking for support as my goal this year is to drop 50 to 60 pounds. I hope I can be supportive to others with diabetes.

Welcome to the Forum!

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.

Hi Dan. I'm Tom. It's all possible but it takes work & time...
I was diagnosed with type 2 3 years ago. Since then I've lost 80 lbs. & have gone off all meds. My bg readings are typically 90 to 110- depending on what I eat and how much I exercise (gym + walking 1 hr/ day). I have a strong family history of type 2 diabetes with many relative disabled or dying young due to complications. It's a real motivator. Stay in there for the long haul. Cheers 😃👍
