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)
At the end of the day if your body burns up 2000 calories while you go about your day and you only eat 1750 calories a day you WILL LOSE ½ pound every week – that is a fact

Most of us grossly overestimate how many calories we burn if we have a somewhat active job – working on your feet all day burn somewhat around 400 calories on average (you may only burn 100 sitting… read more

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....

I recently began adding more healthy carbs back to my diet (as a test of sorts). Previously I was aiming for 50g carbs daily and now eat 100-110g daily. I am continuing to monitor my bg levels, and so far -so good (I think). It's been about a week. This week my weight has become stable, like never before. Before my weight would fluctuate 3 lbs from one day to the next- constant little ups and downs. The week I began adding back carbs my weight "flatlined"-something I've never seen before.

@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. I have had diabetes for about 10 years. Am on metformin 2000 ml slow release at night. 6 months check 8.6, 3 months 7.9 and recently 7.3 going the right way. What could be wrong?
If you see your eye doctor they can check you for cataracts just in case that’s causing your vision to be blurry. I have them in both eyes but not yet bad enough for surgery. I often get a headache… read more
Yes we can

If it isn't too bad I will use any hand moisturizer, if it gets really pesky the Doc prescribes a topical steroid cream but… read more
