Re: glucose meter working, and a question:

January 16, 2006

I want to diabetic classes with my husband who has diabetes. They in turn

sent us to a dilation to help us learn a new diet for diabetic eating. She ,

the detain told us that everyone has to have some sugar but it is the that

we have to watch. She told us that the lower the sugar in products the

better but Del could have up to 15 grams of sugar in the product. so that

is how we go about counting the. It has worked quite well for Del. And now

that my sugar is near pre diabetes I to am watching how much sugar the food

I eat has. It works well for us. As for other people it might not work for

them. Nan

Harry, this to me is a very sensible way to live as a diabetic. some people

who are diabetic are just plain scared to eat . I think all people weather

they have high blood sugar high blood pressure or other health problems

should go to a detain and get some help when they are first diagnosed with

the health problem. It really helped my husband and I. Nan

Hi , I too believe you have to be careful in how much sugar or crabs

you eat. That is the thing. Many people can't eat just one cookie, they have

to eat two or three or more. Being diabetic is not easy. Nan

Nan,

You need to count total carbs, not just grams of sugar. A product can have

15 grams of sugar and many more of total grams of carbs. Carbs break down

into glucose as does sugar, so total grams of carbs is what is needed to

count.
