Looking for Advice From Those Successfully Managing Type 2
Hi all! I was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago, so I’ve had a little time to process everything and start taking action. I’m currently on 500 mg of metformin and will be increasing to 1000 mg soon, plus .25 Ozempic. I’m 36, and diabetes has affected a lot of my family. My mom passed away from complications related to kidney failure from diabetes, and I also have siblings, aunts, and uncles living with it. At first, the diagnosis felt overwhelming and honestly scary because of my family history, but I’m ready to take control of my health and turn things around.
I’ve already started eating lower carb, cutting back heavily on sugar, and avoiding added sugars. I’d love to hear from those of you who have been managing this for years. What changes have truly made the biggest difference for you? Diets, supplements, workouts, habits, mindset shifts, anything that helped improve your numbers or overall health.
Thank you all in advance. I’m feeling motivated and determined to make long term changes and would really appreciate hearing your experiences and advice.
