T2. 5 weeks into this journey again after coming off the rails badly, and after a very high hba1c , my 1st waking test was 16.3. 5 weeks later and with 2 metformin and diet change, I was 8.3 this morning. Long way to go but certainly heading I'm the right direction. Reluctant to go on to additional medication as I'm of the 'I can do this with lifestyle' camp. However, need to honest with myself and adhere to this plan. 54 yo, 17 8, 5 lbs down, and enjoying rediscovering food science.

That looks like a vast improvement in only a few weeks so the changes you are making look like they are working for you.

Welcome to the forum @katcha
Well done on the weight loss, and on reconnecting with your diabetes management in a more ‘front of mind’ way.
Hope you are able to find a balance between your menu and your metformin that works for you, which you can sustain in the medium-long term, and which continues to improve your glucose management.
Keep going!
And do sing out with any questions, or simply use the forum to offload about any frustrations. 🙂
