It's a continual pattern. I will tell myself I am not going to overeat at dinner & do it anyway. How do I become more disciplined? I know I am an emotional eater...
Hello Carla54
Well you're not alone in the struggle! I LOVE to eat
So I have been to a number of nutritionists who gave me some solutions for emotional eating over the years

I recently saw Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition. Masterful performance. I always separate the politics. He is a very serious actor and I respect him for that. Take care.
When I was first dx the nutritionist told me I could eat wholemeal toast for breakfast. I did for a few days and tested myself each tinme and got a BG reading of 10+ (180+).
I never listened again to a nutritionist.

With my hypothyroidism and being type 2 is there still a possibility of reversing my diabetes, I've been a diabetic so long ang I know hypothyroidism and having diabetes is hereditary, but I would like to know if it's possible.
My grandmother, father, Sister & myself all have under active thyroid and take the generic for Synthroid medicine for it.
All of us here have either been diagnosed with Diabetes or have someone close to us that have been given the news
So what is the "criteria" that separates us from Joe or Jane SugerEater?
Currently it is simply having an A1C, above 6.5% (47.5 mmol's in the IFCC scale) "twice in a row" measured 90 days apart
That's it, that's all - that "test" is all that is required for the Doc to determine "You have Diabetes"
No matter what you do after that, no matter how you control your blood sugar - no… read more
I feel your pain in my 74 year old left knee. I cannot walk as long or far and totally understand. I find wearing a knee sleeve does help me when I am walking. Even the cheaper (under $4 in… read more

It's scary, but I have to find out what am I doing wrong??? Seen a nutritionist now. I think it might be my mini soup crackers ( addicted to them ).
According to data demographics in the USA.
We have been told that the diabetes incidence of the general population of the USA is almost 12%
Diabetes is much more common in the 65+ age group than we were led to believe.
29.2% of all adults 65 are diabetic.
By age 75 it is almost 35% diabetic.
So as diagnosed with diabetes, we are not alone. We are almost 1 in every 3, 65 year olds as diabetic.
In my church, there are 11 of us 65 +. All but 3 are diabetic
How have I obtained this… read more
