Hello Everybody,
Thank you all for welcoming me to this blog.  A little about me, I am currently pre-diabetic and my wife is currently waiting for doctors to confirm whether she is type 1 or2. There is the possibility that she has been misdiagnosed as Type 2 for the past 18 years. The constant cocktail of different medications has left my wife and I feeling very frustrated. My wife has decided to take control  of this situation by being more proactive. She has joined a program [link not permitted]
 that has helped her lower her levels significantly.

Welcome energyand!

We are a very diverse group of diabetics from around the world. Our main focus is getting out blood sugar under control. We have found that medication does and can help but getting the diet under control is a major method of control. We follow the low carb/high fat way of eating some go into keto and some intermittent fasting. We all find what works best for each one of us. You will find interesting and informative articles in our forum.

Again welcome, and I hope your wife might join us Too!!
