Was recently diagnosed with this (A1C test). I’ve been trying to get educated on this and have read a couple books. Been cutting way down on carbs especially potatoes and bread. Also trying to lose weight in my gut as I’m really not overweight anywhere else. I’ve always been a beer guy. Exercising more. I’ll have an occasional red wine but haven’t had a beer since diagnosis mainly to lose weight. Trying to control portions. Previously a pizza night would be 5 or 6 pieces. No more. It’s especially tough to be doing this here in The Villages as my wife and I would eat out often at the town squares but I guess that was part of my problem. We still eat out but not as often and I’m very selective on what I order (salads, chicken, meats, etc.). Lost about 14 pounds in under a month. Any useful tips from anyone else in a similar situation would be appreciated.
