Hi and welcome to DD. I'm also a T 2 on metformin. I've found out a lot of diabetes seems to be trial and error. This is why DD is great , we can learn from others successs and failures. I'm glad you found us.

Hi Cari and welcome. I have to agree with the other posters that are suggesting it is not the diabetes that is causing this.

High, Welcome to DD. If you can do squats with no weights, I and some others have found it lowers BGs. Hand weights raise my bgs, but when they come down, they are more stable. Squats are good for your lower back. Did they recommend any excercise to strength you knee?

It is up to you know to manage it, but there's plenty of good advice and support here to help you with that. I'm much healthier now that I have diabetes than I was before.

Welcome to the DD board sorry about being brittle I worked with a young man that went from 500 to 50 in one hour it opened my eyes up.
