My A1C is 5.3 and my BMI is now overweight instead of obese....I'm doing well and all it takes is the right meds and good diet. But I will never get rid of diabetes because I have a rare chronic and genetic form that isn't even on the list on Alike. It's close to Type 2. Having a chronic illness is so unfair. It's so unfair that I have to make all the right choices to survive while everyone around me can eat whatever they want. I love food. Good food. Comfort food that makes me happy. Some people can be fat AND healthy. It's so unfair that even when I am doing well, I still worry about losing my sight, my limbs, my kidneys, and even my life. I am afraid I will die before 50. I'm only 18.

      @deedee4U Hmm, sugar-free cake is hard to find, but you can easily bake your own and substitute the same amount of sugar that the recipe calls for with baking Splenda! You can even make frosting with baking Splenda :D I'll chat you with some recipes!

      After I was hospitalized with covid I was told I am now diabetic. No one in my family is diabetic. I have no idea what I am doing. I take metformin twice a day, but was never told what I should or shouldn't eat. But during my hospital stay, they were always taking blood sugar levels and giving me insulin. Any ideas where I should go for help?

      Today is my birthday, but I really would love to have some birthday cake πŸŽ‚ but I'm diabetic and I don't want to raise my blood sugar levels too high. Any suggestions?
