Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 ---Vicki is right, one has to eat meals that are balanced and nutrionally sound. Breakfast is a must. As a car cannot go without fuel, so it is with the body. Breakfast is the fuel we need to start the day. Skipping breakfast is a definite no no. I prefer eggs, soft boiled or scrambled without butter, turkey bacon and one piece of whole wheat toast, I usually put the eggs and bacon on the toast, sometimes 1/4 cup of oatmeal instead especially when its cold outside. Sometimes I have 4 oz light cranberry juice or a tangerine which I can eat without a bg problem. Lunch varies. cheese rolled up with lunchmeat, salad, chicken broth with cheese melted in it, cottage cheese, berries. Dinner is meat,poultry or fish, green veggie, cauliflower,tomato, salad. SF jello. Holidays are always tough as there is so much temptation around. I have had a hard time here too! Getting back on the wagon is hard, keep slipping! But I will get on and get walking again even though it has been cold here! Do not like the cold! Also fell recently and am a bit stiff from that. No I didn't fall off the wagon that time! Over my own two feet! Wishing all a happy, healthy New Year. Madge In diabetes_int@y..., whimsy2@a... wrote: > Hi, ...well, the reason for your high BGs is obvious: you're not eating > right.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 , You CAN take control. As others have said, you will have to eat differently. How about exercise? Do you have one of those baby sling-type carriers that you can wear and walk, walk, walk? I agree that a meter is the one investment that is critical. This is how you can learn what foods your body can handle. Although I had PCOS symptoms since puberty, it wasn't diagnosed until 2/99 (age 47), along with my DM. I started out with oral meds and new eating/exercising habits and weight did come off. Making changes one day at a time is what works. I know this is all overwhelming now, but you will gain control.

Stop the cokes and muffins and most of the starches. Sip of some chicken soup,. if you're not hungry. As your blood sugar comes down, you will start feeling better, but not until you get your roller coaster numbers under control. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about feeding young babies but I have a horrible premonition ... Excuse me , But you do not KNOW ME! What a horrible thing to say about me! I take very good care of my daughter! I find this very rude! This list is about diabetes and not parenting! I do not only take care of my 8 month old daughter I also watch my cousin baby which is 6 weeks younger than my daughter. SO I have my HANDS FULL with taking care of babies and FEEDING THEM the proper foods in which they are allowed at this point in their life! This is one of the reasons that my eating habits are so not great! If you ever had children and raised them full time by yourself you would know that it is not easy to find time for yourself. I think you are a very SAD person to say that I am not taking care of my child with out any knowledge of my situation. I think you are a complete and UNDER ASS, for Making such a remark against someone you do not know! I thought this list would help me learn more about taking better care of myself. So that I can be healthy and strong for my daughter. I DID NOT come to this list to be accused by some lame brain that I am a bad mother! I love my daughter with all my heart and take very good care of her! My husband and I worked very hard and waited seven years for her. I have noticed from other posts that you are apparently going through a rough spot in your life and others on this list seemed to have been very kind and supportive to you! I think you really need A LOT of HELP if this is your view of the world. I am very sorry that you are such a miserable person. Because of your nastiest. I will be leaving this list because I REFUSE to be accused of such a horrible thing . as not taking care of my child. I do hope your New Year is much better than your current, You seems that you need it. To all others that have answered my posts, positively I thank you and I will be taking the information to heart, so that I can learn to take better care of myself. And just a added note. I went to my grandmothers yesterday and used her machine and my BG come back as 83. So apparently my machine is not working correctly.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 > owes you an apology (ARE YOU > LISTENING, DEREK?) Sure I hear you, especially when you SHOUT! I am not so sure about owing an apology, though, because I already got cussed out at great length. I have acknowledged 's grounds for feeling irritated already and I am going to wait and see how she reacts. I don't think that anybody needs to apologize if he/she already freely accepted a good cussing out, do they? Correct me if I am wrong!
