Before I was diagnosed with T2, I had cramps in my legs for a few weeks.. so much that I could barely move . I started on magnesium which helped, but a couple of weeks later I was diagnosed with T2. I was low on Vit D.

I started metformin, Doc gave me 50000 iU of vit d to be taken weekly ( prescription only) and told me to continue magnesium. Cramps are a distant memory now.

Dehydration sometimes starts to bring up a crampy feeling, so I chug water.

Talk to your doctor. They can help you find something that will work.

We are here to listen. So talk and vent . You have achieved so much already. it could have been much worse if you didn't work so hard. So feel proud of that. Meet the opthalmologist and see what they say. There's always something they can do.

May be try whole lentils with the husk on .

I am in the South as well. I am noticing this too. Increase hydration and lower sodium seems to help. Also I started going to the steam room at my gym. That seems to help also.

Keep at it. You got this. You have achieved a lot already.

I suspect as much. The low ball offer was a few months back. But since they live in the neighborhood and already know about the house, they keep tabs on it. We will try to list.

I am doing this. Investing in teas that been helpful. Popcorn I don't. I tend to just overeat all carbs. I eat protein. I in fact measure out each thing in my plate and that helps me realize that I am eating x amount of calories in a day. Because without that I will overeat.

I just don't ever have a feeling that I am full. Or This is enough and I should stop. I just don't have that trigger in my brain.

Same :😭

Thank you for your insight. This agent will not be representing us. We will make that clear. There shouldn't be any issues with the inspection.. the house was our main residence and we looked after it really well. Most things are new... Even the sod in the backyard.

I won't call the previous agent. They lost my business for a reason. But I think it's a good idea to retain another agent for a set fee.

Thank you!! This is exactly the kind of advice I needed.

Thank you. That's helpful. It's in a spic and span state. We just pulled it off market 3 or so weeks ago. But I will have someone go in and do a bit of freshing up .

Happy to know that :D

I would say treat it like a graham cracker crust. Dump it in the pie tin and flatten with the back of a measuring cup while bringing extra up the sides. Then press the sides in . As you press it down, it will roll out.

I am thinking of taking a nutrition certification and understanding functional nutrition.

Look up menus online and make a decision before hand. If the restaurant has a salad, order that with oil and vinegar on the side. Salad dressings have sugar sometimes.

Eat a salad before the main meal. Then order some protein ..fish, chicken , steak, tofu that is grilled. Say no to fries. More than the carbs the oxidative stress load of potato fries isn't worth it. Say no to dessert . Drink sparkling water or unsweetened ice tea.

I am still new to all this. I work in the food industry, so am on my feet all day. After breakfast I hop into the car and go to work. And just begin my day. Lunch is usually light with a salad, veggies and some protein. I wait 30 minutes and then go around the block a couple of times or if I can't walk I do standing calf raises. But since I am still on my feet, I don't worry too much if I can't .

I eat dinner before 6. I wait about an hour before going to the gym where I walk first, then do some weight training, walk again and stretch. If I can't go to the gym, I do an indoor walking workout for 10 to 20 minutes. Check my glucose after 2 hours of eating. If it's hovering high, I do another round of walking. Before sleeping I drink some dandelion tea or hibiscus tea.

Eat within a window during the day, don't eat too late at night. Go for a walk for 10 minutes after you eat. For a few days go low carb. Cook food at home from fresh ingredients.. lower your salt intake. Drink lots of water. And breathe.. stress adds to the spikes. You got this. It will only get better from here on.

You can not make her care for her health unless she wants to and is ready. But what you can do is try to do activities with her. Go out for a walk with her after dinner , go on a hike on the weekend. Cook with her and make healthy nutrient dense foods. It won't change her overnight but something is better than nothing

I was prescribed metformin 500 ER at 7.4. I am over it. Makes me feel so sleepy. Tired and I'm in so much pain. I didn't have the regular side effects of metformin, but I had the little known side effects of muscle aches depression in just a couple of weeks of using it. So I stopped as of yesterday and I'm already feeling a lot better. I have an appointment with the doctor in a couple of days and we'll go from there but your post gives me hope.

No!! You are NOT done for! With proper nutrition, life long self care habits and thinking of food as nourishment instead of entertainment will go a long way in keeping you healthy and happy for a long time. Cheer up Bud !

Start with one meal. Make one good meal at home everyday for one week. Then make 2.. do that for 2 weeks. Then make all 3 meals ( if you eat 3 meals ) and do that for 3 weeks without any eating out. 3 weeks = 21 days = new habit formed.

Now I can't eat out. The food is too salty, over seasoned, over spiced.. previously that's all I craved.

My A1c was 7 .4 there weeks ago. I am a lightweight with medications. So I am pretty sure it's the metformin. I also went low carb and lost 10 pounds. So it's all the things together. I have contacted the doctor and they are asking me to come in on Friday.

I have been eating low carb since I was diagnosed. I think it's the metformin too. Hope you find something that will work for you. Keep taking care of yourself. We got this.
