A bread with just 4 grams of carbs? They must be talking about net carbs.

My body only works on those total carbs, not just the net carbs. I like

those Atkins Morning Start breakfast bars. My favorite one is the apple

crisp, which only has 13 grams of total carbs and only 2 net carbs. It goes

great with a couple cups of coffee.

Now when it comes to a lot of heavy lifting, I don't see how one could

survive on 15 grams of carbs per meal like I am trying to do. You would

have to eat a lot more carbs or else run out of energy to do any work at

all.

I love the taste of breads of all kinds, but I limit myself to only one

slice at a meal, since it is the one food item I eat once or twice per day

that contains the most carbs. Eating a slice of bread is today like eating

a piece of cake.

the sack says total grams of carbs per slice is for point five. so I guess

this means nine carbs in the bread if you are having a sandwich. glad to

hear about the bars, think I will continue to have a bar for lunch now and

then. it is hard to throw around those fifty to eighty pound logs all day

and eat less then thirty carbs per meal. but I need to loose over one

hundred pounds and control my blood sugar, so there for, guess I add better

eat the right carbs that give me the most energy to work all day. thanks for

the information.

You're right Harry about Mark's needing more carbs to do heavy lifting work.

Otherwise he will run out of energy and could easily go into reaction.

please explain what you mean by going in to a reaction. could be I have had

some feelings like this before a week ago, but didn't really know what it

was. I don't take any medicine of any kind at this time, so if I were to

have an reaction, because of loosing energy, I really wouldn't know what to

do about it. one day last week, I was eating thirty carbs for breakfast and

dinner both, but only fifteen at lunch. right before lunch, I started

feeling real cold and couldn't get warm fast enough. also I was having a

nervest kind of feeling. I usually don't take my meter to work with me,

cause it is pretty dirty up there and I really never have had a reason to

take my sugar at work before. I figure that part of the problem was that

since I have to be at work around six a m, I leave the house a bit before

that and usually eat my breakfast around four-30 a m. but the problem is,

lunch isn't until noon. I realize this is a long time in between, but I have

never had a problem getting hungry before and being type two diabetic, I

really don't have to eat at a special time each day. now I have a snack at

my first brake at nine-

30 and it has seemed to help with the shakes and getting that cold feeling

all over. I have never heard of a type two diabetic having a reaction, but

you guys know better then I do about it. just was wondering what it is and

what can I do if I do have a reaction? thanks for your help.

There are a couple of reactions you can get as a diabetic. It sounds as

though you were having a low glucose reaction, but there is no way to tell

for sure unless you do a glucose monitor test. As a type 2 diabetic and not

insulin dependent, I use to have lots of those low glucose reactions. I

solved it with a candy bar or fruit juice, neither of which I would

recommend today. Those particular remedies get you out of the low glucose

reaction, but swing your glucose levels up in to the 200 and 300 level quite

easily, and those you definitely need to avoid. Today I would recommend

using glucose tablets, which boost your glucose level by specific amounts

for each tablet used, usually around 20 points or so for each tablet. This

will keep you from spiking that glucose level. The second reaction you can

get is the rebound effect. This happens when your normal glucose level is

depleted of sugar and goes too low by doing strenuous exercise or hard work

for an extended period of time, usually an hour or more, causing your

glucose level to go to low and making the automatic survival mechanism in

the body kick in and create more glucose from the fat or protein, I forget

which, by having the glucogon hormone activated. This, too, can cause your

glucose level in the blood stream to skyrocket to high levels, and when mine

gets over 170 or so, it makes me feel tired, exhausted and draggy. The cure

for this latter reaction in my case is first testing and then dosing Humalog

accordingly to bring my glucose level back down to normal levels.

Mark,

As I said you were probably having a low blood glucose reaction, and if you

eat some sugar like a glucose tablet or a life saver or two and about twenty

minutes later that uncomfortable feeling goes away, then this is another way

to tell that it was a low blood glucose level reaction without having to

test. I use to get the shakes, cold feeling and even break out in sweats

whenever I had them. In fact I still do most of the time. Us type 2

diabetics can feel good about having these reactions, because it warns us

that something is not right. I hear lots of type 1 diabetics do not have

these reactions at all, and go from normal level right on pass the low

glucose level right to the passing out point before they realize something

is not right. I am glad to hear you get that reaction warning.

Mark, As Harry said, it sounds like you were having a low glucose level.

You can carry some glucose tabs with you in a small tube (found at most drug

stores) and eat one or 2. If you have this high energy job, you probably do

need that mid-morning snack to keep your sugars up.. Just eat less carbs on

your days off though or your BG wil go up too high!

Re: need some answers please,

please explain what you mean by going in to a reaction. could be I have had

some feelings like this before a week ago, but didn't really know what it

was. I don't take any medicine of any kind at this time, so if I were to

have an reaction, because of loosing energy, I really wouldn't know what to

do about it. one day last week, I was eating thirty carbs for breakfast and

dinner both, but only fifteen at lunch. right before lunch, I started

feeling real cold and couldn't get warm fast enough. also I was having a

nervest kind of feeling. I usually don't take my meter to work with me,

cause it is pretty dirty up there and I really never have had a reason to

take my sugar at work before. I figure that part of the problem was that

since I have to be at work around six a m, I leave the house a bit before

that and usually eat my breakfast around four-30 a m. but the problem is,

lunch isn't until noon. I realize this is a long time in between, but I have

never had a problem getting hungry before and being type two diabetic, I

really don't have to eat at a special time each day. now I have a snack at

my first brake at nine-

30 and it has seemed to help with the shakes and getting that cold feeling

all over. I have never heard of a type two diabetic having a reaction, but

you guys know better then I do about it. just was wondering what it is and

what can I do if I do have a reaction? thanks for your help.

Maybe you could be getting the shakes because your body hasn't got enough

energy in it to sustain you for the amount of physical work you do.

If you are performing physical labor as the name of your job implies, I would

think 30 carbs is perhaps not enough to supply your energy needs. Excercise and

insulin both burn up blood sugar, and as long as your weight is where it should

be and your blood sugar readings are good, you should eat however many carbs you

can tolerate to keep your bodies energy needs met. Maybe increasing some fat

intake, such as peanuts would be a more sustained or prolonged energy source.

The key would be to make sure your weight is where it should be, your bg is

where it should be, and the extra food is healthy.

need some answers please,

need to know about this low carb bread at the health food store that I found.

it is rye and has four carbs per slice. is it ok to eat, on my low carb diet or

should I leave it alone because it is still bread? also need to know about these

low carb meal bars or snack bars. like Atkins or advantage. some of them have

twenty carbs and others only have around twelve or less. are these low carb bars

are to eat or should I leave them alone as well. I get tired of always taking

the same thing for lunch every day and these bars make it easy and some thing

different for lunch. also I work on a saw line at work, where we handle heavy

wood all day long. it is important that I eat thirty carbs per meal, in order to

have the strength to do all the heavy lifting that I do during the day? I find

it is easier to loose weight if I actually eat less then thirty carbs per meal.

how ever, when I cut down to twenty or less per meal, I feel a bit weak and get

more tired faster. as long as I contin

ue to control my carb in take per meal, I do feel better and can control my

blood sugar, but if I throw my good sense to the wind and eat like every one

else, I am the one who pays for my bad decisions. I agree with Harry, I just

love corn bread and butter milk. but those days are gone. butter milk has

thirteen carbs per eight ozes. some times I still enjoy a eight oze glass for

breakfast, but eight ozes isn't very much. oh well, life does go on and we must

learn a new way of eating or live with bad health if we make bad eating choices.

especially when we know better. I am always here and listening. so keep the good

post coming and sooner then later, I will get it right. God bless you all and

have a blessed week.

[Guest guest]

you very well could be right, but how do I loose over one hundred pounds, if

I eat more, because of the kind of work I do? seems like a loosing battle.

eat more to have energy, but if I eat less to use up my all ready saved up

carbs, which are extra fat, I get the shakes. thanks for the advice. think I

may eat a few more carbs during the day and see how I feel.

Now here is just a small bit of information on carbs to maybe shed some

light on your situation.

Our body functions at its best when we enjoy a diet high in Carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are essential fuel for the brain, red blood cells and growing

foetus and a main source of energy for our muscles.

- Carbohydrate is the only source of fuel our brain

can use. 50% of our energy requirements unlike muscle cells, that can burn

both carbohydrates and fats, the brain doesn't have the mechanism.

Our bodies run on fuel just like a car runs on petrol So every day we need

to top up the tank with the right amount and the right kind of fuel for

health, energy and well being. Starting at Breakfast time.

" Carbohydrates contribute so much to the bulk of our diet, that many people

mistakenly think they are " fattening " and avoid them when trying to loose

weight However this can be counter productive. People can better control

weight by selecting foods that are high in Carbohydrate's, high in fibre and

limiting fats (especially saturated, and participating in daily physical

activity or just plain move more.

**

I suppose it can depend on what sort of food you choose to eat for your

meals and what is convenient to take at your work place. Maybe some fruit,

banana or apple. Have a couple slices of multigrain bread with a slice of

meat or salad or what ever else you may prefer, Or have a couple small

pita bread with a low filling of some sort. Tuna, ricotta cheese, egg and

so on.

To help with losing weight you may need to eat foods that are more low in

fat. Consider making a record of the foods you eat and then take stock at

the end of the day or a week and see where you might be able to make a

change in your diet. It could also be used to make notes when you are

having your dizzy and shaking spells. Have you had your blood pressure

checked out because that could be another thing to consider.

You can make simple changes to your diet like:

full cream milk to a low fat milk.

White bread to multigrain or raisin bread.

yoghurt to a diet brand

cheese to a low fat cheese

fill up with plenty fruit, salads, vegetables.

cut down on the size of meat cuts the average of meat for a person is about

120 grams. A myth I heard that a cut of meat should be the size of your

clenched fist!!

don't eat too many peanuts - they are low in carbs but high in fats.

measure a 1/4 cup and only have them once or twice a week.

These are just a few hints on ways to make changes and may help to

contribute to losing some weight.

can use. 50% of our energy requirements unlike muscle cells, that can burn

both carbohydrates and fats, the brain doesn't have the mechanism.

Our bodies run on fuel just like a car runs on petrol So every day we need

to top up the tank with the right amount and the right kind of fuel for

health, energy and well being. Starting at Breakfast time.

" Carbohydrates contribute so much to the bulk of our diet, that many people

mistakenly think they are " fattening " and avoid them when trying to loose

weight However this can be counter productive. People can better control

weight by selecting foods that are high in Carbohydrate's, high in fibre and

limiting fats (especially saturated, and participating in daily physical

activity or just plain move more.

I suppose it can depend on what sort of food you choose to eat for your

meals and what is convenient to take at your work place. Maybe some fruit,

banana or apple. Have a couple slices of multigrain bread with a slice of

meat or salad or what ever else you may prefer, Or have a couple small

pita bread with a low filling of some sort. Tuna, ricotta cheese, egg and

so on.

To help with losing weight you may need to eat foods that are more low in

fat. Consider making a record of the foods you eat and then take stock at

the end of the day or a week and see where you might be able to make a

change in your diet. It could also be used to make notes when you are

having your dizzy and shaking spells. Have you had your blood pressure

checked out because that could be another thing to consider.

You can make simple changes to your diet like:

full cream milk to a low fat milk.

White bread to multigrain or raisin bread.

yoghurt to a diet brand

cheese to a low fat cheese

fill up with plenty fruit, salads, vegetables.

cut down on the size of meat cuts the average of meat for a person is about

120 grams. A myth I heard that a cut of meat should be the size of your

clenched fist!!

don't eat too many peanuts - they are low in carbs but high in fats.

measure a 1/4 cup and only have them once or twice a week.

These are just a few hints on ways to make changes and may help to

contribute to losing some weight.

A few more carbs, but less meat will lower your caloric intake, but will let

your energy level keep up. You are burning up carbs with all the exercise

you do, but it is lowering your energy, so you have to cut down somewhere

else.

Not knowing what your work conditions are, perhaps some of your weakness has to

do with sweating a lot. You need to replenish the, um, I think electrolights

and perhaps potassium? Not sure about those, but hard working muscles rely on

the proper chemeical balance and if you're not eating properly you may be weak

for that reason and not as much due to low bgs. I forget if you said you check

your blood sugars frequently while you're at work. This would be very important

if you want to figure out what is going on. Many years ago, long before I lost

my sight, I used to work for a furniture store delivering furniture. You never

knew just what to expect and it was almost impossible to be prepared

consistently. Maybe we had a bedroom suite to deliver, king size bedding

included, and maybe it would go to the second floor. But, you never knew.

Sometimes the bedroom was on the first floor and it was an easy 30 foot walk and

the furniture was carried in with relative ease and you were out of there having

not even worked up a sweat. I can attest to the difficulty in being diabetic

and having a physically demanding job and encourage you to hand in there.
