Hi Mike:

I can see why you own a regular glucose monitor as well as the Voice Mate.

That's pretty smart thinking on your part.

Hi Harry:

I've already started a record of what I eat and the number of carbs. I

figured the only way that I would ever be able to keep track of what I eat

each day would be to write it down. Since I keep my other records here it

made perfect sense to add that record as well.

You have a good suggestion here and I sure appreciate your advice.

Hi Cy:

congratulations upon your sobriety.

Bob loves most all veggies and I'll cook them for him even if I won't eat

them. He does not like fish, however, but I manage to eat it anyway.

Yup. And since it's an Accu-Chek Advantage, the Comfort Curve test strips

and the code key are interchangeable.

Mike,

Crystal owns 2 meters. She only uses one but the other one is a back up

in case she gets some really off the wall reading. This has happened a

couple of times and it is a good thing to have some way of cross

checking.

I can't remember what the problem with the meter was but it was fuzzed

up and she had to re-calibrate it.

Eat plenty of meats including beef, lamb, chicken, pork, turkey, fish and

most any other kind of meat. Protein is filling and it does not contain

carbs and if it does, only one or two of them. At any rate not enough to

matter too much when counting carbs. Also eat plenty of vegetables,

cheeses, nuts and whole fruits. Stay away from fruit juices, because they

are a refined carbohydrate like corn meal and flour and any thing made with

them. If you are a type 2,and for that matter a type 1, you should eat

only whole grain products. Besides whole grain has more flavor. Eat two or

more salads each day, and if you do not like salads, learn to like them. I

like my salads with lots of lettuce, cabbage, celery, cheese, carrots, tuna

or steak, nuts and most any thing you can put in one with my favorite

dressing red wine vinegar and oil on it along with salt and pepper. Yum

yum, just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Enjoy! <smile>
