Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Here's my 2 cents worth. Generally, low fat and foods/snacks with fibre are good, as well as foods that don't contain enriched (white) flour. Carbohydrates are essential, but I think it's wise to limit them to 30 grams per meal. Some will probably correct me, especially if there's an overweight issue. The old adage is, diabetics do well to eat 6 small meals per day and never eat too much at one sitting. The real bottom line is that experimentation is necessary to find what works, and what does not. If your husband is a type 1 (takes insulin) he should be taking short acting (probably Humalog) with each meal and a long acting (basil) Lantus. This is usually prescribed to be taken at bedtime, but I happen to take it mid day and find this works for me. As you will see or are seeing, while certain things work pretty much the same for all diabetics, every diabetic is unique in certain methods of treatment and it is only after time and experimentation that the way to successful management is achieved.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Even the insulin regimen specified for each diabetic is unique or largely so. For instance, as Dave says, for many individuals, best control is achieved using a combination of short-acting insulin plus a long-acting insulin such as lantus to cover basal needs. However, for some reason, I can achieve excellent control using a regimen of two shots of 70/30 insulin per day. Learn all you can and then decide what works best in consultation with your diabetes health care team. Mike Introduction: > > > Hello, my name is Connie.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Connie, Most every product does contain the carbohydrate information on the package - somewhere. It also specifies the serving size. Just add up the numbr of carbs each item your husband eats contains and that is the carb count. For simplicity's sake don't mess with the " net " carb information, just stick with total carbs or just plain old carbs if total carbs are not available. Does this help? Cy, the Ancient Okie...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 As was mentioned in another reply, the labeling will tell you how many grams of carbohydrates are in a serving. You may be surprised to discover that what you think a serving is differs from what the label says. So, you'll want to do some measuring of servings early on so you can begin to grasp how many carbs you are actually getting in the serving size you may prefer. A serving of Rice Krispies is larger than a serving of Wheat Chex because Wheat Chex contain a higher density of carbs. I think the USDA has some general specification as to what a serving is, for instance, a serving of cereal is usually in the 20-25 grams of carbs. Of course, there are cereals with more and less, but generally this is what they call a serving. Btw, when the term carb is used, often we are refering to the general convention of 1 carb equals 15 grams of carbohydrate. If this is confusing, you will catch on. Someone may say, I only had one carb for lunch, well, that means they had 15 grams of carbohydrate, not just 1 gram of carbohydrate. hth Dave Introduction: > > > > > > Hello, my name is Connie.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hi Harry, Man, you are right on! In order to make the product seem " low carb " many manufacturers have defined the serving size as something which could fit on a hors D'overs (however you spell that word...) I would not define a serving of mashed potatoes as half of a cup let me tell you... When I want them spuds I want lots of spuds, not just a whiff... This is especially true with some desert mixes. Crystal saw a brownie mix which touted the finished product as " diatetic " (first hint of real deception) and then defined the serving size as 1/16 of the box... That brownie would just about be able to fit under a large pecan half... Yup, read them labels - carefully...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Connie, You u look at the label of what you are eating and the size of the serving, just add up the carb ie. If you are having a sandwich, most pieces of bread have about 16 grams of crb so 2 pieces would have 32 plus however many grams of carb you have in your sandwich. Protein foods )meat for instance) does not have carbs, bo it better to stick to meat of some kind in your sandwhich rather than peanut butter and jelly-which has lots of carbs!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Glucose tabs a re used if your blood sugar levels fall low and you need a quick rise! If your husband feels shakey, kind of " out of it " ,and has cold sweats, then he is having alow blood sugar and needs glucose tabs to make his sugar rise. He should do a blood test at the time if possible and eat as many glucose tabs as it takes to make the sugar rise to a normal level. A glucose tab wil raise your blood sugar aobut 20 points, so if he is has a blood sugar of 50-he will probably need 2 tabs. They take aobut 10 minutes to start working-as will any other food, sot ther is immediate rise. It is best to chew them up as the glucose wil enter the system through the blood velles in the lining of the mouth. Re: Introduction: Dear Mike, Please do send the information. I also want to thank you for your re assurance. Now that I know insulin is Dennis's friend,and that it isn't the insulin that causes the problems I will relax. I do have some questions. What kinds of foods can I serve to help keep Dennis's blood glucose low? Can any one suggest good snacks he can get? His Dr never mentioned the c factor or glucose tablets are those used after someone has been on insulin for a while? Thank you for your help. By the way, I'm also on the diabetic-family-circle thanks again. Connie Introduction: > > > Hello, my name is Connie.
