Wow I am so inspired by some of the comments I have read here. I was diagnosed in 2012 with type 2. I am changing doctors very soon. My doc seems really lax...my A1C is 6.5 and it is like she says that is "borderline" She is completely unconcerned. I know it isn't that bad...but I still want to achieve better health! Metformin gives me diarrhea (sorry if that is tmi) I just hate it and want to get off of it and get to a healthy weight so I can live a long life.
