The secret to losing weight is eating Less than what you Burn
No special food, no need to work out for 2 hours a day (although that will increase your weight loss all else being equal)

I have the tingling in the legs, and numbness in the feet..I have now noticed the upper left thigh one part of the skin is numb and is warmer than surrounding area.Is this normal?

thanks....

@A DiabetesTeam Member Great results Becky. I’m going to be picky and point out that we all need carbs or we’re dead! My carb intake per day is usually around 20g so I also need carbs 😊
By the end of day in the evening I get tired and my vision get very blurred and when I wake up in the morning I have a headache. I am 64 yeay old and have retired.
