Any others taste these noodles yet? If so - how are they?...
I am in the same place! I was diagnosed in August. I love to eat and eat out. You still can - you just have to figure out what your meal plan is, and what your meal plan allows. I am on a carb...
I also think normal for a diabetic is slightly higher than normal for non diabetic. In general, for diabetics, they want it less than 7%, some would say under 6.5% Man I use too many commas - but I...
Oh Lanie! I have been testing two hours after I am done! Whooops. All these educating classes and I haven't learned that yet. I take forever to eat too. My educator likes to use endocrinology AACE...
My diabetic educator gave me a freestyle lite. I like it. My True Track I bought from Walgreens was consistantly 30-40 points higher than the Freestyle. Doc said to use Freestyle. Lower readings are...
The only one that can control what you eat is you. You know when you are eating well, and when you are not. I have had a long conversation - well - a few long conversations with my Aunt about my...
I am sorry that happened to you! But you did a really good job typing with one hand. I will think about you and pray for a fast recovery....
Diet, along with Glucophage 500 mg twice a day, and Glucotrol (glipizide) 5 mg twice a day is keeping me an average of 106 (last 7 days). I realize finally what a low feels like. I didn't like it -...
My body took a few days to get used to the Metformin. I had to run to the bathroom all the time for three days. Once my body got used to it, that side effect is gone. I can't wait :o till they up my...
Thank you. That does help. I just wish my doc and nut woudl agree. Nut was short for nutritionist - now I realize how bad it looks. But, alas I am too lazy to delete....
I think it might be the cake that makes your sugar 180 :)...
Have a look at this Q and A. http://www.healthieryou.com/medexpert/exp4052702b.html (I fixed the link so it would work.)...
My readings have been averaging 150 ish. When I leave out the carbs completely, I can be at 98-110. BUT my nutritionists that my doctor and RN, BS, CDE sent me to says I should eat 3 carb choices per...
There are some really good no sugar chocolate and sweets. You still have to watch the carb count - (at least I do - thats how my dietitian is working with me). Werther's candy comes in sugar free -...
True Track was the one that gave me grief. Luckily, I get a full rebate on it - so I have already discarded it, and am using the Freestyle Lite. My doc did say that when meters start reading funky,...
It takes some getting used to. When people are on a diet, its hard - but at least the dieter chose to diet....we were told we have to. So its not on our terms, and can be more difficult to swallow. I...
The meter I bought was dead wrong! It was giving me high readings (170 avg AM, 160.6 pm). The meter the dietician/diabetic counselor gave me was a Freestyle Lite. It was giving me consistantly lower...
I ended up talking with my insurance. They said they would cover under Master Medical, but not at a pharmacy - they can only bill prescript ions. SO...they referred me to Byram.com and I had to call...
I know - I must be strong. I have a weakness when it comes to food and I ams till mad that I am 35 and have to be so careful. I keep telling myself there are children who do this....stop bellyaching....
I can eat really good and get 198....and then eat really bad (last night for dinner I had a small portion of ham, cracker barrels sweet baby carrots...one corn muffin, and a half of biscuit with a...
Can anyone tell me where the best place to buy testing supplies would be. I have the TrueTrack meter, and specifically am looking for the best price on test strips. I am buying 50 strips for $31 at...
My uncle has it, has been taken to the hospital several times in the last year after having it "installed" becasue it doesn't do a good job regulating for him. That said - he's not having it...
I made the chicken myself, it was just chicken and some seasoning. The rest of the filling was fat free beans, and some lettuce and a few black olives. Still everything under 40 carbs. Even the chips...
That is awsome. I prefer the noodles and bread and pizza over chocolate though. Darn those carbs. But, on second thought, maybe I'll go have one little tiny dark chocolate Dove candies. LOL...
I am new. what is PP? pre or post something....I assume....
I am going on this "no more than 40-60 carbs a meal" till I meet with dietician.....My blood sugar always high in the AM. This morning was 186. Would that be a direct reflection of last nights...
Thanks guys! ocd - I am lucky if i use soap and water let alone alcohol wipe. LOL...
I don't know why I titled that way. My meter (I got True Track meter - sold as Walgreens or Good Neighbor brand). I ate some bad things (not tooooo bad, but a small amount of fair food last week). I...
You are going through the same stage I am right now. Don't feel too bad about your levels though. My fasting was over 200 and my doctor didn't freak. He did an A1C (which you can try getting at...
My email is supposed to kick me if I get a reply. I have to fix something with that. I found out what the problems was! I can't take vitamins and Glucophage at the same time! Iron and Vitamin C....
My meter calls for just soap and water....
Recently diagnosed with Diabetes. 35 yr female. I have been put on blood meter checks twice a day. Before breakfast and before dinner. If sugar is above 150, I am to take 500 mg of Glucophage. First...
That 3 month glucose test came back at 7.5. Looks like I officially belong here now. Doctor's appt to discuss in 2 weeks. Husband is being supportive in that he will be on the "diabetes" eating plan...
I could lose a good forty pounds...but I am not huge....but definitely bigger than the "ideal". My fathers mother had diabetes, my dad is "on the line" and controlling with diet only. My maternal...
Just got back from my doctor. 35 yr female. Fasting glucose level was 229. I ate a partial altoid before the test. Hopefully that was all it was, but I doubt it. Now I am waiting for some panel that...
