Rockinonahigh · 04-12-2011, 03:43 PM

I know how u feel about doing your best and still haveing probs with this mess.I too am doing all I can do to follow the diet plan but its like a yo yo,some day ok some day no..grrrrr.I lost 8 pounds now im gaining it back a little at the time,the only thing that seems to work is if I stal on a 20 carbs a day diet anything more than that I gain a bit.Im tired of salads and veggies...I want some real food.Tonight im makeing spagettie and meat balls for dinner..useing bison burger wichs is 90/10 so very little fat and I have gone as guilt free as I can in the ingreedence I put in the meat to season it with.Aslo my exersiseing sucks since I had the flue,in still at it but grudgeingly.

I was told that too much shell fish can cause the gout in diabetics ... anyway I went to the doctor today, my A1C is 5.8 my meds were increased a few months ago so this good... it's so hard to find foods that are good for you and still maintain satisfaction at least for me.

Welcome to the thread cottoncandy...and I'm with everyone else on this stuff...

I've been struggling lately. When I get tired, my good eating and sleeping habits go out the window, I forget to take my meds on time....and I end up feeling sick and icky.

I need to really start watching the carbs too rockin...and I'm not looking forward to it. Almost all of my favorite foods are carbs.... *sigh*

My numbers were so good last week, but they have gone to 160 in the mornings for no apparent reason...I will... Shoot I don't know what I will.....I am frustrated and my mom died a year ago next month, and I am feeling so stressed. My kidneys are going to suck if I can't get control.... Why do we have to eat???????

I am just frustrated with my diabetes. One day I am good and level, and the next my numbers are all over the place. I never experienced this before.

TIMBERWOLF · 04-13-2011, 06:54 PM

It all depends on what i eat. Right now my numbers aren't bad 84-122 but i have my times when i hate giving myself my shots and don't then my numbers goes up. I have to get my A1c down because I haven't been very good with that.
My Dad is in the hospital right now because the doctor wanted him to lose wt so he quit eating and taking his meds. My sister found him incoherent with a BS of 37. Since being in the hospital his BS keeps crashing like down to 22 and is in kidney failure.

Im waiting now for a call to fly out...

My Grandmother had that happene for a month or so...she kept crashing, and they kept reviving her despite her DNR...she was 92 and went on to live another year!

I will keep your Father and family in my thoughts, and if you don't mind I will add Him to my prayers.

TIMBERWOLF · 04-13-2011, 07:57 PM

Ms. Tink,

Dad came home tonight, and Timber's there with him. His crashes weren't cardiac crashes, but blood glucose crashes. He's never gone into cardiac arrest, but they have determined that he's had two mild heart attacks. We are grateful for any prayers and/or positive energy sent on his behalf.

Timber arrived in San Diego yesterday, and will return to Houston next Friday. There is no internet access at Dad's house, so I will keep everyone posted, via my phone conversations with Timber.
