Hi, Patsy. I live in Northern CA., and my local

supermarket, Bel Air, carries them. After deducting

the fiber content, there are only 6 carbs, per

tortilla. I also understand that you can order low

carb tortillas. I don't have the website, or url, for

how to order. Can someone else help out here?

Thanks!

Sheila

Hi All,

I'm new to this group; old to diabetes. I have type II, and am

taking oral meds and insulin. I've been on the atkins diet. I

haven't lost much weight, but I've maintained bg in the 90-170 range,

bp of about 110/80, and good cholesterol. My feet hurt most of the

time.

I've recently seen a couple of programs on TV about n Whitaker's

Reversing Diabetes program, and it seems so whacky that I want to

know more about it. He claims you can do away with oral meds on his

program, but then who doesn't?

Has anyone got any experience with his program?

Steve,

Hello stbrettell@... (Steve Brettell),

In reference to your comment:

è Recently I've found it harder to maintain my b/g on an

è even keel, and to maintain interest in the diet. The

è Whitaker program is so against anything I've ever read

è that it caught my attention. I saw it presented on two

è different public tv shows in a two day period, so thought

è it worth looking at. Who knows?

Check it out, try it for a couple of weeks, with lots of testing... If you

are comfortable with your bs results, then enjoy, if not, then consider going

back to something that works for you.

Thanks for the response. I said that I've been on the

Atkins Diet, but I lied. It's really the diet in the

Bernstein book that I follow, but Atkins has more name

recognition, so I've found it easier to use. Yes, 170

is high, but that's the top of the range that I'm

trying for. The closer to 100 the better. I guess I

average about 115, because I cheat some.

>>It surely is

neuropathy. I can't feel anything but pain in my

feet. I've got to find some solution, and so far,

diet hasn't been working for me. I'm taking two oral

meds and insulin, and still spiking to 170. So I have

to keep working at it.>>

**Again, I would suggest increasing your insulin and/or meds. Spikes to 170

on a low carb diet is not good, nor is it healthy, and definitely won't help

your neuropathy. Also, diabetes, can escalate and change, which could be

what's happening to you.

This is n Whitaker's advice. I think I will pass.

Since the 1930s, numerous studies have shown that a

high-complex-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet can help you maintain healthy

blood sugar levels, which is why I recommend that you make plant foods the

mainstay of your meals. Virtually all plant foods in their original form

contain complex carbohydrates and soluble fiber, which slows down the

digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, promoting even blood sugar levels

with out peaks and valleys. The best sources of soluble fiber are legumes

(beans), oat bran, nuts, seeds, apples, and most vegetables

My opinion, which is like a belly button or other anatomical part. We

all have one and ....

1) I feel that financial planning is the most important thing we can

do. We can do all sorts of studying. If we can't eat or pay the

internet bill, we're dead in the water.

2) Next thing is hire a good board certified thinks-for-themselves

physician. I've seen some of these allegedly alternative healthcare

providers blowing smoke out of the same orifice that is referenced in

the first sentenance of this post.

I've had to go through a few physicians. One of them even got up and

walked out of the room on me (I was polite!). I'm looking for a

physician that will be my partner in health care. Some of these folks

can't stand a question or two and or are afraid to say " I don't know,

let me look it up " . Montel said he went through 20 physicians.

Somebody on one of these chat boards referenced a CAM (complimentary

alternative Medicine) physician website.

3) at the same time step two is occurring, clean the diet up. There

are others around that are better qualified than I am to answer these

questions. One site I've seen referenced here is www.msreversed.com

Mercola also has what appears to be a decent book on diet (the recipes

are a bit complex for me though)
