Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Lissi, If was posting he would tell you that there is only one thing you need to do to control your Diabetes, count them carbs..... I can not remember, are you on oral meds or do you use injections? I agree that there is an enormous amount of confusing, contradicting and erroneous information out there to confuse, discourage and frustrate anyone. It is so very important that you take your readings each and every day otherwise you really have no idea how your are doing. Take your fasting reading each morning and that will give you a real good hint on how you are doing. Take your 2 hour post meal readings. This will tell you if you are consuming too many carbs and how much medication you should be using. Take an evening reading and this will assist you in knowing if you need to adjust any medications. I can not stress enough how important it is that you keep track of your blood sugar readings. Now, notice that I did not say that these reading all had to be perfect ones. You just need to absolutely know where you are. What you do about where you are is your business. Cy, the Ancient okie... Re: Mayonnaise Dear Cy, and Everyone, Thanks, Cy, for your cheery reply and maybe more label information to come. I'm not doing well with my diet. I haven't checked my glucose for days and days. I've been paying more attention to this list because I need your ideas and good examples so much. Personally, I seem to latch on to practical examples of the way everyone eats and exercises. All of the articles discourage me because many contradict one another and they say I must do more and give up more than I ever could so they make me feel like giving up entirely. If I were really giving up, I wouldn't still be here. I admire all of you for your determination and sharing.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Amen, cy. Counting carbs is realy essential. Lissie, I thought I had sent you a list of comman foods with the amont of carbs in them. I can send it again. It originally came from Dean on our list.
