Hello everyone, I've just started reading this forum a few weeks ago after deciding to take my diabetes seriously.
I was diagnosed 1/2017 after thinking I couldn't get over lyme disease. My A1c was 9.0 and I was put on 500mg Metformin and 20mg Atorvaststin daily. I cut down to only 1 slice of pie w/ ice cream for dessert. In July my blood was 7.8 A1c, I had my Metformin increased to twice a day. I assumed I could resume my normal desserts then. My 1/2018 A1c was 7.4 and my Metformin was doubled again. Due to the intestinal side effects this was not an option. I've now been shifting to Low carb and have been testing to eat for over a week and have encouraging results. I don't have any questions yet because I have much to read yet, but I believe that I will enjoy this forum,
Thank you
