Re: Crystal

BTW each meal should be between 15 to 60 grams and each diabetic is

different. you just lower your carbs at each meal until your 2 hour post

meal sugar is 120 or less. Meaning, eat the meal and 2 hours past eating it

if your sugar is not 120 or less, then you know you ate to many carb grams

for the meal and next time lower them by 15 etc.

BTW your pre meal sugar should be around 80.

Thanks ! It's amazing how those carbs can add up so quickly! Is

there somewhere on the web where you can go and find out how many carbs are

in most foods? We've been trying to be careful, but not careful enough!!

Thanks,

yes, there are 2 great ones. First, the USDA has an online food database you

can search for nearly all foods found at this link then keep reading:

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

the other one is called calorie king that lets you look up a lot of name

brand restaurants and name brand foods found at:

http://www.calorieking.com

For the USDA one, type search words like:

red apple

white rice

white bread

wheat bread

and so on. Try to be sort of specific. Calorie king you would type, for

example, Mcs or Taco Bell or Arbys and get all the foods, including

carb grams, for those type places. On calorie king you could also type name

brand stuff like oreo cookies or kellogs special k etc.

Another thing that is good to do is have an employee that works in your

local grocery store come through the store with you and read the carb grams

on tape for you. They should do that as a free service and then when you go

back to shop, purchase the same foods since you will know the carb grams

already... you have them on tape!

hope this helps.

How about a dinner example:

bad carb:

1 large baked potato 70 grams

1/2 cup corn 20 grams

2 slices of bread 30 grams

1 6 ounce steak 0 grams

total carbs 120 hello high sugar! now lets rework this meal to a low carb

alternative...

1 6 ounce steak 0 grams

1 cup of green beans 4 grams

1 slice of bread 15 grams

1 tossed salad with cheese, turkey, bacon, italian dressing, a few croutons,

6 grams

total carbs 25 hello good sugar!

Cottage cheese is lethal to blood sugar. I.E it will spike you like crazy

from the lactose in it. If you can, and ar up for it, eat cubed cheese, or

cheese slices, instead since its carb grams is about 2 or 3 compared to 22

to 25 in 1 cup of cottage cheese.

bare in mind, this is a general guide/this carb list. Look at most cottage

cheese containers and a serving can be as much as 12 grams and, with lactose

in there will spike your bgs. Although Dean's carb list is extremely useful,

it should only be used as a general guide to carbs and you should always

read your labels on your foods, or have someone sighted read it for you,

since you will see some serious differences in the carb grams.

I'm not certain what other complications she has with eh stomach but give it

2 or 3 months of runnign normal sugars and you will see more reversive

effects from the good sugars. Bernstein states it takes a few months for

symptoms to reverse etc.

Also, not certain if you seen my post, but my doc said get off caffeine and

soda pop, the carbonation in it, since this can lead to serious stomach

problems in diabetics... gastroparacis (sp).

Crystal's Diabetes has been so out of control for so long it was being

blamed for any ailment she came across.

Most of the doctors only saw the Diabetes and not the patient.

We now really do have the Diabetes under Crystal's control. Now we are

dealing with other problems which have been there for a long time and

just checked off as a by product of the Diabetes.

The stomach problem is either Spastic Colon Disorder or Irritable Bowel

Syndrome, whichever name you care to give it.

We have now gotten the blood test to determine if Crystal's real problem

might be ulcers. We have also now gotten the medications she needs in

order to control the pain and so on.

One question I do have is what sort of thing can we use for bulk and

fiber?

All is going well here in Okieland.

The other morning Crystal had a fasting reading of 96 with no Glucovance

the previous afternoon or evening. Her pre meal reading was 95 and she

was afraid that the Glucovance would give her a low sugar problem.

This morning her reading was 67. Her pre meal was 105 last evening so

she did use the Glucovance. She also fell off the wagon and hit up the

chips yesterday! She is doing well.

bulk and fiber use spinich or any green type veggie that is water based.

If she likes chips, that is no problem eating some here and there if she was

on humalog. H would cover those carbs and she could enjoy them. I enjoy my

evening klondike bar 30 grams in my klondike bar and dose only 3 units to

cover it smile. Keep that in mind for a year down the road. Once she has

been in this for about a year she may require more flexibility in her eating

and humalog will give her that flexibility.

You pose a most interesting new concept to me. I am beginning to see the

value in Humalog as a method for controlling the blood sugar.

I had this stereotype image of the needle being the less preferable of

the treatments but I am beginning to reconsider my position.

oh it is just something to keep in view just as another option. Of course,

like you are saying, it brings more flexibility to eat some more of the

foods you enjoy however at the cost of using a needle to inject it. Some

don't see that benefit as a benfit etc. It's all in what you want really.

Glad to see that you are seeing some benefit to it though smile. It's a

great way to cheat here and there since we all do it. Difference is, humalog

dosers, if properly trained on carb counting, don't go high sugared and type

2's typically do. That's just my opinion though. Maybe type 2's can eat a

30 gram klondike bar and not go high, I dunno.

I would think that type 2's cannot afford to eat Chlondike bars and get away

with it, especially, if they control their glucose levels with diet and oral

medications.

I am a type 2 who uses Humalog, and because I am seriously insulin

resistant, I cannot afford to eat so many carbs as a snack, since it

requires a lot of Humalog to counter the consequences.

Harry,

My friend you are pretty perceptive!

I know a particular Type 2 who tries to get by with thissort of thing

from time to time and then wonders why the blood sugar just went up like

a rocket.

I would think that the Humalog would give you a hope in you know where

to control the sugar surge but the oral meds are a Harum-Scarum sort of

thing.

ya, you are at 10 units of H per 15 grams yourself being insulin resistant

and I am at 1.5 units of H per 15 grams being type 1 diabetic. I understand

your point and agree. Type 2 diabetics are insulint resistant and have to

dose much higher amounts of H. However, as long as you do a 2 hour post meal

test you should be ok to catch a low sugar and take 1 or 2 glucose tablets

to curve it. I.E in your case you would dose 20 units of H to eat the

klondike bar which would kill me being a type 1. Do the 2 hor post meal test

adn if you are low, eat 1 or 2 glucose tablets and catch the low and curve

it. However, again, this is the *occasional* treat/cheat, not a life style.

Thanks for letting me know. It is good to see that her doctor is

prescribing an antibiotic to rid her of any residual Helobacter pilori

bacteria, which is the cause of stomach problems most of the time.

The other meds will counter the burning stomach, and she should heal in a

few weeks completely, especially, since she is getting rid of that bad

stomach bug bacteria.

I feel good about the treatment she is getting from her doctor.

I use to have burning stomach and heart burn all the time, and I drank

Mallox by the bottle and lived on Tums for a long time.

Zantac and an antibiotic cured my problem many years ago, and today I rarely

have any heartburn. If it does happen again, I will insist on a round or

two of an antibiotic, since one can get reinfected by this bug, especially

if they like to kiss!

Harry,

Hmm, very interesting observations.

I will caution Crystal about kissing and tell her Harry said so!

Cy, the Ancient One...

Re: Crystal

Thanks for letting me know. It is good to see that her doctor is

prescribing an antibiotic to rid her of any residual Helobacter pilori

bacteria, which is the cause of stomach problems most of the time. The

other meds will counter the burning stomach, and she should heal in a

few weeks completely, especially, since she is getting rid of that bad

stomach bug bacteria. I feel good about the treatment she is getting

from her doctor. I use to have burning stomach and heart burn all the

time, and I drank Mallox by the bottle and lived on Tums for a long

time. Zantac and an antibiotic cured my problem many years ago, and

today I rarely have any heartburn. If it does happen again, I will

insist on a round or two of an antibiotic, since one can get reinfected

by this bug, especially if they like to kiss! <smile>

yes, it really can help. Of course, not every male who is impotent and is

diabetic is from the diabetes/high sugars. Some folks are impotent for other

reasons even running an a1c of 5.0 to 5.5. However, it is something to

eliminate as the cause by getting the a1c to 5.0 to 5.5 and if it is still

there, then talk to docs and see what other causes might be since now it is

not the sugar. BTW Dr B states that sometimes it can take up to 3 months of

a1c levels being good for symptoms to reverse while others are immediate. He

also states that some symptoms do not reverse and that is also something

that could happen.

Thanks .

Crystal was elated that her sugar was down that much and the doctor was

well pleased. I was a bit disappointed that it was still that high.

As I said, you always need to remember where you started from otherwise

you would just throw up your hands and give up.

Yes, we are beginning to be able to predict where her sugar is going and

medicate accordingly. One of the problems Crystal used to have (okay,

, don't laugh too loud) was that she medicated according to " how

she felt " . Well, we all now understand how well that method works. I am

not saying that you should not rely on how you feel but you sure should

back it up with some readings from the old meter.

In Crystal's defense I do have to tell you that one of the reasons she

was not real ready with the meter is that she could not afford the

strips required to do the job necessary to keep good, reliable track of

her sugar.

If anyone has a hint on how long the Glucovance works please let me know

as it would help.

Great list and great friends.

Cy, the Ancient One...

Re: Crystal

good job Krystal! and you too Cy! 8.1 is much lower than before. In

another 2 months, it will be down lower than that as long as you

continue on what you are doing. It takes about 3 months for the a1c to

get down to the true reading and you have only been doing this for about

2 months and really, you just now got things to where her sugars are

predictable. From this point on, it should be smooth sailing, for the

most part, and the a1c will come down a lot more in the next 1.5 months.

Sorry, I do not know about the oral medication that much.

Again, nice work too both of you!

Regards,

hungry
