I have no idea what CGM means. I use metformin.

Let's hear it for weight loss. I'm down to 223 from 317 in 12 years. A1C is also 5.2. When I retired, I quit eating 3x a day. It's noon. I may have breakfast at 2 PM and dinner later tonight. That and portion control has resulted in steady weight loss.

A big risk factor for type 2 diabetes is obesity. I have no idea why. Losing 90 lbs. made a big difference.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my wise old Chinese doctor told me it could be controlled with weight loss, diet, and exercise. I followed his advice. It worked.

I find that magnesium citrate supplements greatly reduce the leg cramps. As for the uhm, 76 years old and still waking up with a hard on. Take care of your arteries.

A neighbor just gave us a fresh elk liver. We'll serve it with vegetables. Mmmm, onions.

My gourmet urges made me ferment my own pickles and kraut. Then those same urges made me eat them raw instead of canned, because cooking them kills that wonderful crunch. I still have some fresh dills in the refrigerator from the last batch, and make kraut several times a year. The acidophilus...

And the more expensive. A can of soup costs $2.50 any more. Soup. It's mostly water. We do a crock pot full of soup, mostly home canned tomato sauce and vegetables, with a little meat, and get the same thing for less than 50 cents. People who buy Hamburger Helper are paying for the box. The food...

I didn't read all the details, but didn't see where they controlled for obesity. I used to be diabetic, but am not any more, thanks to a 70+ lb. long term weight loss. Another 30 lbs. and I'll be to my ideal weight (215), so you can see I used to be morbidly obese, but am not any more...
