I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about one and a half years ago. After getting tired of getting sick all the time I became serious about my diet and fitness. I was taking 850mg metformin twice a day. My last microlalb/creat ratio was 5.6 and my doctor lowered my dose to 500mg. I have caught the excerise and running bug and know I will have to better my nutrition knowledge.

Hello Edgar, welcome aboard! It sounds like you are on the right track. Keep doing what has been helping you. Some type 2 diabetics improve so much that they can stop their medication and control their diabetes with exercise and diet alone. Good luck to you!
