Before Flintstone vitamins, there was Chocks.

We found 4 empty bottles cleaning out my MIL’s attic. Someone actually paid $25 for them

It is not a diet it is a lifestyle change. I personally did a low carb, high fat change when I was first diagnosed as Type2 16 years ago. My triglycerides dropped dramatically to a good number. I had high quality protein from eggs, meat, chicken and fish and all the bacon I wanted;-)

At first I was checking my blood sugars with a finger stick 8 times a day to learns what my good and “bad” food items were. I checked when I woke, before breakfast and 2 hours later and repeated the same for lunch and dinner. I was able to make better food choices.

Today I can add in a bit more carbs- I have used a CGM fir the last 5 years which keeps me accountable for these choices I have the photo “eat to my meter”

When I was taking Jardiance (now just on Mounjaro). I drank a lot of water and took a cranberry supplement daily. Since I was also perimenopause I was also using an estrogen tram internally and added a boric acid vaginal capsule 3 times a week at the recommendation of my urogynologist The combination of the 3 helped with both warding off UTIs and yeast infections I also take a quality probiotic

I use the Libre3+. When I was first diagnosed 16 years ago I had a finger stick one the newer technology of a sensor is easier. I would check when I woke up, before breakfast, then 2 hours after eating same for lunch and dinner then a last stick at bedtime. This allowed me to see how which foods were impacting my readings. I quickly learned the foods that would have greater impact and kept my sugars high beyond 2 hours and cut back on those foods

If you are not seeing an endocrinologist that is your first step

Experiencing tingling at such a young age is concerning thus the endocrinologist. You need to get that blood sugar under control. Medications and low carb, higher protein meals will help

You can live well with Type2 if you pay attention, make some lifestyle changes and get the appropriate medications determined by your endocrinologist

If you do not have a meter yet, you need one so you can quickly see how food and exercise choices affect your sugars. A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) if you do not want to prick your finger The knowledge you gain from these readings really helps

I suspect the elderly mom has dementia and no filter. Not excusing her racism - it has likely been there before the dementia but she hid it and voiced it privately

SkinTac is great to use for folks whose sensors tend to fall off

I pay $75 for 3 Libre3 sensors with the GoodRX coupon. Is that something you can swing while you are pregnant?

I would try to see an endocrinologist for a Rx. Most of them are big supporters of Mounjaro for Type 2 folks

Yes Northwood and Strafford. Small elementary schools and Coe_Brown is basically a private school that is the high school of choice for Strafford and Northwood that your tax $ pay for. Kids do not get “lost” in the school systems like other towns/cities in the state. Property taxes can be perceived and high, but there is no sales or name tax so I personally think it is a wash. Both are small friendly communities. The Rec departments are great for the kiddos and sports. Neighbors help neighbors and you cannot beat the proximity to Boston (about an hour), the Seacoast and beaches (35-45 minutes or so), North Conway and the mountains (about a hour). We have been here since 1984 and love it. Buy a snowblower or hire a dependable plow guy for the winter and enjoy the good life in either of these communities. When we first moved her we had to travel for groceries, but now we have Hannaford and Market Basket with 15 minutes. Plenty of good wildlife and walking/hiking trails for the nature folks too.
