I'm also a t2 diabetic & had a difficult time getting both my weight & bg down. I finally found out about IF & started that a while back. As long as I stick to my 2 meals - breakfast & lunch - I do great. If I eat even a snack in the evening it throws me off. If I eat a full meal it can take up to a week to get my bg back down. I'm hoping that over time I might be able to eat in the evening without a problem.

I couldn't take Metformin because of different & very unpleasant side affects. Perhaps the extended release might work better for you?

You might want to get Dr. Bernstein's book Diabetes Solution. He explains diabetes so well even I could understand it. Tho I'll admit I had to read it more than once.

Forgot to say - I'm 64. I think it's more difficult for us as we get older.
