I was diagnosed diabetic a couple a years ago. lost weight and life changes and she took me off the med. Went to the Doctor gained back the weight and off my lifestyle I am 240 pounds and I might have to go back on the pill. I am so upset I don't know where to start and If I am not after another blood work. I want to live as a diabetic. Both sides of my family have diabetes. So I am hoping to get information to live a diabetic lifestyle. Thanks

No one truly wants to "live" as a diabetic. Give up simple carbs. Start with breakfast. Have you heard of cloud bread? Let me know if you'd like the recipe😊Here's to Real life!

You are right about living like a diabetic. I was just upset when the doctor wanted me take bloodwork to confirm or not confirm. I have not heard of cloud bread. What is it?

I am sure you can achieve a desirable goal as other diabetics. You just have to bring back the healthy lifestyle with proper foods and regular exercise. More details about your diabetes are required for others to give you advice.

You are right!. Bring back healthy lifestyle such as eating healthy and regular exercise. I did eat a healthy breakfast and went for a 30 minute walk afterwards.

I assume you are Type 2 as you don't use insulin. I am T2 and also both sides of families have diabetes. I've learned to live with diabetic lifestyle that mean making changes of my diet and do more exercises. Importantly, be consistent with this lifestyle. You need to work a lot more to loose extra weight like how you used to do in the past. Minimize CARBS intake (in all forms eg. Simple sugar, startch, hidden sugar) and add good fats intake. How is your current blood sugar control and recent HbA1C?
