Hi LRAQUILA,
I haven't been here that long myself. I was just recently diagnosed with TYPE 2 so instead of ignoring it I decided to make a change. I don't want to depend on Insulin in the future like my parents. I am basically trying to avoid carbs all together. I eat Meats, Fish, Salads, when I want cheese I do Monterrey Pepper Jack(no carbs). The only sugar I have is a small glass of Lipton Decaffeinated Tea with Sugar in the Raw in it. I am basically following the Atkins Diet and I just finished Phase 1 and now can have a small portion of fruit. Once in a while(like once a week) I sneak a girl scout cookie, surprisingly the Samoans are very low carbs(18 carbs per 2 cookies). It keeps me satisfied. Along with all of that Water, Water, Water and like 30 minutes a day of workout. I am also moving so that keeps me busy too.
So far since I was diagnosed I have lost 9lbs and my BS ranges from 80 to 100, with a few small spikes once in awhile. (girl scout cookie) hehehe It was 190 when I first saw my Doctor. I dont get headaches anymore, I don't feel tired during the day. I feel so much better and I FINALLY have the strength and will power to do this!
Good luck on your journey and keep us updated!
