Stumbled across this community while doing some late-night research, and thought I'd say hi. I'm a 41-year-old union electrician and I've been dealing with Type 2 diabetes for about 12 years now, diagnosed when I was 29. Took me a few years to really get serious about it, and my A1C even crept up to over 10% at one point. Now I'm managing it with Metformin and daily Lantus shots, and my A1C is usually around 7.3%. My job keeps me pretty active, but managing blood sugar with a demanding work schedule and irregular meal times is still my biggest challenge. I don't know much about bariatric surgery, but I'm looking to learn more and see if it's something that could help me with my diabetes management. Glad to be here and looking forward to connecting with you all.
