Married grandfather of 4, need to diet to lose weight to improve my daily blood glucose readings and my A1C. Last A1C in December was 7.6. Daily BG readings, usually 3/day, are mostly in target range with use of oral meds, Metformin and recently Januvia as well. Also take Simvastatin and Lisinopril; plus 325 mg aspirin, vitamin B complex, and fish oil supplement.

Have had type 2 diabetes for about last 5 years but only recently, since December, have been working with dietician/nutritionist in a class setting. Last of 4 classes is tomorrow evening. The classes are very helpful! If it weren't for cost and insurance limits, the classes and advice and support from dieticians/nutritionist would be so useful on an ongoing basis.

I have been losing almost 1 lb/week; which I'm OK with that pace. My clothes have really gotten loose. Better sleep at night too for some reason.
