Diabetic anyone?

I'm on a low carb/no sugar diet and lost up to 7 lbs already and like it very much. Its heavy on the protein so that is good...good luck to all of you on the diet!!

Hello all....

My numbers have been on the rise, for no apparent reason than they can. I am up to 40 units of 70/30 mix Novalog in the morning and at bedtime, regular Insulin as needed, and still take my 10mg extended release Glucotrol.

I know from experience that I am a bit dehydrated which ups my numbers, but I have been so busy that I forget to eat and drink quite frequently....my numbers don't go down when I forget to eat...they just stay the same or go up if I get an internal sugar release.

Sorry for whining, I'm in a bit of a funk.

Whining is totally allowed MsT....

I get in that place a lot myself...like when all I want is a Snickers bar.

So important to eat regularly and stay hydrated....take care of yourself!

When I had my thyroids and whatever they can test for with blood,the only thing that my doc said was,your sugar is up a tad,no she didnt tell me how much b ut said to check out what ive been eating and see what I can change to something better.So I now use splenda for sugar if I need it,I have been exersiseing for three days a week for a while so thats covered.I do eat whole wheat bread for the most part I do like my french bread now and again.So yesterday I got a letter from the diatishion at the hospital for an appoingment wich I cant make cause of work,so I called her.I think she and the doc need to get on he same page cause she was going on like I was full onset diabeties,after she stoped talking my head off and I could geta word in edge wise I ask a fue questions and also told her what the doc said.She agrees im not diabetic but need to watch my diet and exersise.So I told her I already was watching my food better and have been working out for a while.Bytime we got off the phone I will be looking for some crazy weired diet to come in the mail for me to follow..I have no idea how they can get a reading on my sugar with one test, this was done dureing the thanks giveing holliday season,u can bet I was bakeing all sortd of goodies and tasting them.The diatishion said they run a 3 month average on the results...bull hocky.I may be in denial but if thay wanted a true reading they should have not done it dureing the hollidays when the doc knows im a bakeing fool at that time.At the moment im a lotta pissed about it all ...hells bells this is the last think I want to deal with.It dosent run in mu family at all,I had an ultrasound done a couple of months ago cause my gaull bladder was acting up so they checked my pancrease(sp?) and liver then and said they were in great shape.At the moment I dont know what to think,confused I am.
