Guest guest Posted August 9, 1999 Report Share Posted August 9, 1999 Welcome, Meniowl! You wrote: << ... I have learned soooooo much from this group already. Thank you all for being so honest in sharing your information. I am thrilled to be a part of this group! >> This IS the best diabetes group on the internet! I am just so proud of all of them! There is lots of love and sharing and no meanness ... and the best thing of all is that I believe we have about the best record of treating our diabetes successfully of any group on OneList (Ok ... I gotta post a statement here ... the folks at LC-DIABETES will blow your doors off ... HbA1c's in the 5-6 range ... these folks are amazing.). But for a general diabetes group, that is not exclusively into low-carbing, this group is TOPS ... and since our lives depend on getting it right ... what a wonderful thing to find. I was over in MHD - hating it - Most of the people over there are just decent folk who want to know how to best treat their disease. But there is a small handful of negative back-biters who just seem to ruin it for others. So Norgaard, from Denmark, recognized the problems55 over there and created this refuge of sanity and humanity and invited us to come on over .... really glad I made the switch. It is so much better to have a sense of family and actually feel like we are on the road to recovery - not just on this sad, long, downhill slide that I see some folks on. The success stories in here are so inspirational! Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I start out having treats, well, let's just say a whole bag of something is still not enough! Maybe in time down the road, I can start having more carbs. I feel so lucky that I was able to get off the meds so fast and still keep my numbers under 100. Strict though it may be, it does work for me. Meniowl@...
