Re: Re: I am new diabetic.. what's with this?

[Guest guest]

hey Darren

are u eating a lot of carbs? reduce them follow the advice in this group and

tell the dr you are changing your way of living believe me i ate a high carb

diet for 13 years i excecised moderately and never understood why my sugars

were not normal over time my wt went up 18 kg still climbing.....then i

started to read i got bernestein's book before i joined this group and have

been gradually changing my way of living, attitude and soacialising. i would

eat left overs from my kids plates thinking its money wasted NOW i leave my

own portions for the dust bin. reduced my portions cut out the pizzas and

fast food which was a good thing for everybody in the long run. i committed

my time to excercise everyday refused parties because it was clashing with

my walk time. unfortunately once my wt went down i relaxed and started

adding carbs and reduced the excercise and within 3 wks my sugars went up

along with the weight. so now i am back on the wagon like vicki says its day

by day. the better readings sure encourage. good luck try again and again

and again....cheeky

your numbers are too high that you already know, but what is your food

comsumtion? try reducing your carb helpings. you might need insulin to bring

those numbers down. are u overweight? i missed your basic info post. cheeky
