Yes, I have Type2 diabetes. I take 1000mg of metformin every day. What has really gotten it under control, though, is that.
- I'm not really into sugary stuff to begin with
- I now weigh 190lbs (I'm 46 and at one time weighed 255lbs,) and am still slowly losing weight. I'm not doing any fad diets. Just nutritious made from scratch food. I also only eat once a day, which is contradictory to what the docs say I should do, which is eat 5 or more tiny meals a day. The one meal I eat is probably half of what my son eats at that time. So, I'm really not consuming a lot of calories per day overall. It helps that a med I take for something else also has the unfortunate side-effect of weight loss. ::woot::
- I stopped eating artificial sweeteners
My sugar still spikes if I were to eat a cupcake or something, but it's not high all the time. Most of the time it's normal.
I know your post is old, but if you're still out there do you still have any questions I might be able to help with?
