I Have Been Taking Metformin For 2 Years. I Am Having A Very Difficult Time Sticking To A Healthy Diet.

Kingsford, MI

I know the way I eat is unhealthy for me. I cave in when there are sweets around.

I make healthy choices instead of candy, I eat unsalted nuts or a small orange or small apple. Some of you can't eat fruit. I eat low fat Greek yogurt. But drinking lots of water keeps me full longer. So I eat less and lose weight. Blessings to you all. 😊

I test most of the time before I eat. I will try testing 2 hrs. after I eat too. Thank you

I try not to have them around too, but my husband has a sweet tooth and sometimes I just can't help myself. I will be working on that. Just have to put my mind to it and stick with it. Thanks for your reply
