I’m New, Scared and Excited!

Hello everyone,

Today I found out I am pre- diabetic. First hand its pretty scary news but now, it’s the perfect time to change my lifestyle, for good. So, I found this app today and it’s a little intimidating ( information overload), but I’m determined.

    Hi I’m Diane. Good for you that you are taking the steps that you need to. Don’t be afraid instead just enjoy the journey.  I have been doing this since Aug 17th and my blood sugars have dramatically decreased. Love this way of eating.

    You got this! Reducing/eliminating Artificial Sugars will kick you out of pre-diebetes.

    I found out this month, I am pre-diabetic but have been hypoglycemic for 13 years.  I didn’t do a total low-carb lifestyle until now.  I share your feeling of concern.  I am determined to do whatever I can through diet & exercise to avoid diabetes.  Since starting low-carb on Jan 2, I have lost 5 lbs plus 2” from my gut!  I have more energy and am clearer thinking.   My goal is to lose at least another 5 lbs.

    I just found the app last week.  It gets easier to use every day.  Their food data bank isn’t as big as MyFitnessPal, so sometimes I have to go there to find my food then enter it on CM.

    I have multiple sclerosis and remember the overwhelming amount of information that came at me. It seemed like an impossible mountain. One day at a time ...one step at a time is all you can do and the best way to absorb it all. With this app it’s thebsame way. It has so many great tools but I had to just use a few at a time & then go back and start using a few more. I didn’t even realize the forums were here until a few days ago! You’ve got this lady! ❤️
