Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Hi All! Well it has happened. I have been diagnosed with diabetes type two by my family DO doctor from an A1C test value of 6.8. 4 to 6.5 normal. I have been watching my BS (blood sugar) for 16 years since I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia (a precursor to hyperglycemia), but I did not know how to do the BS testing properly. Haphazardly testing is not conclusive nor definitive. BS must be taken pre and then post meals to judge how MY body handles each type of food. Pastrami and black rye bread sandwich gives me a 189 BS two hours later. A scrambled egg and two sausage patties give me 123 BS. Attending a two day diabetes education program Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th I have discovered that I have had diabetes II for at least ten years and my reported tingling/numb toes/feet did not clue my family MD doctor. Today I have painful feet, toes, and calves, IE: neuropathy. Even lightly touching them is excruciatingly painful at times. How do I use the BGK for this one? Is it on each side of the ankle or across the toes or one on each foot? I will experiment with this and report soon. My fasting blood sugar (BS) is consistently above the 70 to 110 normal range, and frequently above 140 post meals.... My overnight fasting BS is elevated from the foods I ate for previous supper. So I have found out that meal planning is very very important. I resist taking the pharmaceuticals and need to learn how to control my BS with meal planning and herbal remedies. My one hour one on one with the 18 year experienced Ph.D dietician is 29 Nov. Love Bob Adageyudi Staya Udanvti Quote
