Guest guest Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Hi Arlene. No offense taken at all. People don't have to follow the carb advice me/others are doing... they can pass on it. However, one thing they can get fromit is to simply be aware that carbs greatly effect bgs and make them difficult to manage and in type 2 diabetics, quick acting carbs will, over time, burn out their remaining functioning beta cells and destroy the pancreas. However, as I've stated before, all minerals and nutrients you get in fruit you can derive the exact same ones just by eating slow acting carb veggies. They are all in there ... same ones that are in fruits, are in those as well. For calcium, you can take a calcium supplement or obtain it from cheese you eat. It is good to take a multi-vitamin to cover any nutrients you might miss. Yes, discuss this with your docs but if they are of the traditional ADA mind set of eat carbs, low fat/meat, then your not going to get a doc who is willing to listen to you. I'd suggest find one that will work with you on low carbing and doing blood work results to determine your physical health/and how low carbing is helping you as a diabetic. Dr. Bernstein is type 1 and a doctor practising for 20 years and none of his patients has had any complications from following this diet. In fact, their dibetic complications 100% reversed. It 100% opposes the ADA but has much better results on all his patients blood work than the ADA diet. I.E lipid panels excellent, kidneys, etc. hi > I was wondering how is doing?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hi Alice, Welcome to the group, I am sorry to hear of how far advanced your husband is. I will certainly keep you all in my prayers. I am in another group you may be interested in too. It is call MS-Christians, its another Yahoo group. Just like this group, they are a wonderful group of people. I hope you enjoy this group too..everyone here is great support. Much love in Christ, Visit my websitehttp://www.mylivingwithms.bravehost.com/And Sign My Petitionwww.petitiononline.com/mc7620gt Hi Hi, my name is Alice and I am a full time caregiver to my husband, Bill, who has the advanced stage of MS. Bill is totally bedridden as he can't move his body or use his hands. His memory is gone, he's legally blind, he no longer can communicate, he has autonomic dysreflexia, he chokes on his salvia and he hesitates swallowing his foods and fluids. I am my husband's hands and feet. I transport him daily, clean him, exercise him, feed him puree foods and give him his fluids thickened. We are both born again christians and our faith and love is what keeps us going without giving up as I've been caring for Bill full time since 1995. Bill is a 100% service connected veteran and four months ago we began receiving aide service helping me care for Bill, 2 hrs. per day, except holidays or weekends. Today the VA called me to tell me they are going to give Bill "Home Based Primary Care" that he is in desperate need of. What I miss most of all is not being able to communicate with Bill, though I do talk to him, he just can't respond.Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Have you set a goal for the maximum number of carbohydrate grams per day or per meal or snack you will consume? I love chips, but they are now a no no for me, since they are loaded with carbs. For a crunchy and salty taste I munch on a few roasted nuts. It seems to help me. I consume around an average of 50 plus or minus 10 grams of carbs per day, and it took me almost a week to get over those carb cravings. I have more energy now, and in the past five months I have lost 22 pounds. Be prepared to buy new clothes, since you will probably drop a size or two in your clothes requirement. hi > hi just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting my carb counting, this morning I had two pieces of toast and three eggs with cheese I also bought turkey for turkey and cheese sandwiches which I have tried for lunch yesterday, I still crave chips or something with my sandwich but I am hoping in time its easier to fight that,. is there anything else that I can sub, with the sandwich to kill that craving for the chips? either way, the lunch was good and so was the breakfast. so here is hoping. > shane > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Thanks Rita for that one, which is a great one to have. I eat a lot of pork rinds these days, but no chips!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi Harry, Shane and list, I know of course your main concern is tight bgs control. Atkins suggests no more than twenty or thirty caarbs a day and yet you drop weight with fifty a day. hmmmmm I am confused. And still fat!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 In addition I also walk 2.0 miles or more every other day. My aunt, who has had a weight problem all her life, also walks and does low carbing, and she has lost a lot of weight, but she is still fat. I guess some people are just going to be big no matter what. Now that i am in fairly good aerobic shape with my heart, I am going to start walking 2.0 miles per day for six days per week, since this may be the only way I will lose thos eight or ten pounds of fat on my belly. Getting in aerobic shape took me around three months of consistent and regular walking on the treadmill, which is one of the best investments for my health I have made besides going on a low carb diet and dosing with insulin. I hope to prove my cardiologist wrong who predicted that I had five years to live. According to his prediction I still have three years and eight months left to go, but no matter what comes and when it comes, I just hope to enjoy the day today, right now, if you know what I mean. hi > > > > > > > hi just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting my carb counting, > > this morning I had two pieces of toast and three eggs with cheese I also > > bought turkey for turkey and cheese sandwiches which I have tried for lunch > > yesterday, I still crave chips or something with my sandwich but I am hoping > > in time its easier to fight that,. is there anything else that I can sub, > > with the sandwich to kill that craving for the chips? either way, the lunch > > was good and so was the breakfast. so here is hoping. > > > shane > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Rita Hello, My mother has been on the acqons diet for a year now. She lost about 40 pounds. Don't give up hope.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 There is always hope! I would describe my overall health as inferior, not superior. I find pleasure in the struggle, whereas others may see despair. I care not for the doctor's opinion, even though he might be right. I have today, right now, to live, and I will do so.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Hi Shane. Try pork rines. They are carb free... they have 0 carbs in them and give you the crunch of a potato chip. They are great! Around here, we have them in various flavors like plain, seasoned, and spicey. hi > hi just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting my carb counting, this morning I had two pieces of toast and three eggs with cheese I also bought turkey for turkey and cheese sandwiches which I have tried for lunch yesterday, I still crave chips or something with my sandwich but I am hoping in time its easier to fight that,. is there anything else that I can sub, with the sandwich to kill that craving for the chips? either way, the lunch was good and so was the breakfast. so here is hoping. > shane > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 one nice thing about routine though Rita is results. Once you start to see the results, man! it feels great! And like Harry is saying, you will eventually feel that runners high they call it and it feels great to have that and to finally feel healthy etc. regards, hi > > > > > > > > > > hi just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting my carb counting, > > > this morning I had two pieces of toast and three eggs with cheese I also > > > bought turkey for turkey and cheese sandwiches which I have tried for > > lunch > > > yesterday, I still crave chips or something with my sandwich but I am > > hoping > > > in time its easier to fight that,. is there anything else that I can sub, > > > with the sandwich to kill that craving for the chips? either way, the > > lunch > > > was good and so was the breakfast. so here is hoping. > > > > shane > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 one thing to keep in mind though Rita is to set reasonable goals. If you know you hate exercise, don't say your going to do it every day of the week for 20 minutes. You know that won't last based on past experiences. Be reasonable and know your own personal limits. I know I won't walk more than 10 minutes on my treadmill at a time and no more than 3 to 4 times a week. I could say I will do it every day for 20 to 40 minutes, like it is suggested to do, but I know after a while I will quit just because it isn't me. Some exercise is better than no exercise IMO. So, start into it slow. Ride your bike like 3 times a week for 10 minutes. when your ready, Then ride it 3 times a week for 15 minutes. when your ready past that, Then 3 times a week for 20 minutes and so on. Split up your days. Monday you ride, tuesday you have the day off, Wednesday you ride, thursday you have the day off, etc. regards, hi > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > hi just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting my carb > > counting, > > > > > this morning I had two pieces of toast and three eggs with cheese I > > also > > > > > bought turkey for turkey and cheese sandwiches which I have tried for > > > > lunch > > > > > yesterday, I still crave chips or something with my sandwich but I am > > > > hoping > > > > > in time its easier to fight that,. is there anything else that I can > > sub, > > > > > with the sandwich to kill that craving for the chips? either way, the > > > > lunch > > > > > was good and so was the breakfast. so here is hoping. > > > > > > shane > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I'm with you rita about the routine thing when it comes to exercise. I have a small house and no place to put a tred mil or exeercycle so I hold on to the back of my sofa and run in place. I also do as much walking as I can with my guide dog. We just returned from a 3 day cruise yesterday and i can't believe how much walking you do on those cruises-just to get from one end of the boat to the other! As you know, however, they over-fortify you with exotic food! I did mange to keep the carbs down, however, but ran rather high blood sugars. I think this was due more to the excitement than anything else as I really tried hard not to overeat. the first night there however, the waiter at our table (who was from Poland)insited I have a piece of sugar free banana as " my mother stayed up all night baking it for you " ! I managed to get away with only 2 bites. Re: hi > > > Hi Harry, Shane and list, > I know of course your main concern is tight bgs control.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 LOL good for you pat eating 2 bites. I also jog in place at my home holding onto the corner of my wall and just jog in place. I also jump up/down like 15 times then continue jogging in place etc. the jumping really helps the calves. regards, hi > > > > > > > > > > hi just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting my carb > counting, > > > this morning I had two pieces of toast and three eggs with cheese I also > > > bought turkey for turkey and cheese sandwiches which I have tried for > > lunch > > > yesterday, I still crave chips or something with my sandwich but I am > > hoping > > > in time its easier to fight that,. is there anything else that I can > sub, > > > with the sandwich to kill that craving for the chips? either way, the > > lunch > > > was good and so was the breakfast. so here is hoping. > > > > shane > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Rita, One thing you definitely know about me is that I am lacking in tact and diplomacy. I like to go to the heart of the matter and no messing around. It comes from three decades of dealing with mentally ill folks, who spend most of their time denying the truth about themselves and making excuses to cleanse their mind. I believe a corrupt mind needs a good brainwashing from time to time. hi > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > hi just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting my carb > > counting, > > > > > this morning I had two pieces of toast and three eggs with cheese I > > also > > > > > bought turkey for turkey and cheese sandwiches which I have tried for > > > > lunch > > > > > yesterday, I still crave chips or something with my sandwich but I am > > > > hoping > > > > > in time its easier to fight that,. is there anything else that I can > > sub, > > > > > with the sandwich to kill that craving for the chips? either way, the > > > > lunch > > > > > was good and so was the breakfast. so here is hoping. > > > > > > shane > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 sad pat. so many diabetics just don't care while they still have a decent body. They only care after they get a serious diabetic complication like blindness, kidney failure, a stroke, neuropathy, amputation, etc. But often times, when that hits them, they give up and just die. It is rare for someone to get determined and buckle down after they are hit with a diabetic complication. Harry, myself, and am certain others on the list got fired up and began to get serious about diabetes after our complications with it. However, most don't. Once they get a complication, it is enough to remove any hope from them then they just give up and die. Very sad to me when after all, they don't have to do this, they*choose* to do this. Again, key words is have and choose. They don't *have* to do this, they *choose* to do this. Your friend doesn't *have* to run an a1c of 7 and eat like that and kill himself over time, he *chooses* to do that. Humans are so complex... I just am baffled why someone with diabetes would commit a slow suicide when they don't have to and can live a long and productive life? I guess that is why my wife as a counselor makes good money? People are just that messed up to do that? shrug? *scratch my head* I just don't get it? regards, hi > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > hi just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting > my > > > carb > > > > > > > counting, > > > > > > > > > > this morning I had two pieces of toast and three eggs with > > > cheese > > > > > I > > > > > > > also > > > > > > > > > > bought turkey for turkey and cheese sandwiches which I > have > > > tried > > > > > for > > > > > > > > > lunch > > > > > > > > > > yesterday, I still crave chips or something with my > sandwich > > > but I > > > > > am > > > > > > > > > hoping > > > > > > > > > > in time its easier to fight that,. is there anything else > > that > > > I > > > > > can > > > > > > > sub, > > > > > > > > > > with the sandwich to kill that craving for the chips? > either > > > way, > > > > > the > > > > > > > > > lunch > > > > > > > > > > was good and so was the breakfast. so here is hoping. > > > > > > > > > > > shane > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
