Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Sussie's post reinforces the most important point of how different we all are. I have 125 to 160 carbs a day and stay within my target range. Sussie has learned her system can't tolerate as many carbs as mine. We both have learned through daily testing how our systems work. Any recommendations you get are only a guide. The only way to develop the best meal plan is test you bgs after every meal to find out how your system reacts to different foods.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Most of us are in the habit of eating something while at the movies...popcorn, candy, cokes...all these things are Absolutely Not Good for diabetics. It's awfully hard to resist temptation when the whole place smells of yummy popcorn...still, it IS possible. I myself have found that it's easier to resist entirely than have " just one or two pieces " of popcorn. If you absolutely must have something to eat while at the movies, try toasted soynuts...they're tasty and pretty lowcarb. And they do satisfy the " crunch factor " . You can buy them commercially or make them yourself. Vicki << Yesterday I nibbled on a few pieces of fudge!!!

Was the cocoa made with sugar? Bad. the cranberry muffins...guaranteed to raise your BG. The cokes? Unless they were diet cokes, also guaranteed to raise your BGs. And all these things are nutritionally lacking. Corn? Starch and carbs. Crackers? That'll raise your BG too. And nutritionally you're (sorry 'bout this) a mess. You need to eat balanced meals at regular times that are low in carbs and higher in protein. No wonder you're feeling terrible!

You need to eat more veggies such as spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, asparagus, greenbeans -- and salads. Eggs, meat, chicken, fish are fine. There are a lot of lowcarb products that will help you along the way if you can afford them. . Forget fruit juices. You need to be strong to take care of your baby, so you need to eat properly.

I will try to reply to everyone in one message. I hope I don't miss anyone. I am typing fast, while Dh finishes giving our dd a bath. Still no luck with getting my sugar down. It has stayed around 250 all give or take a few points. I have been drinking water like crazy trying to flush my system out. My husband called my Dr today,he said for me to be at his office first thing Monday morning. So we will see what happens there. I am over weight I lost a lot of weight during my pregnancy. But I have been gaining it back since the birth. My main problem with eating is not eating and when I do it no the right things. Yesterday I had 2 cranberry muffins left over from X-mas morning with 2 cups of cocca. Then for lunch I had crakers and cheese with a coke. Then nothing till late last night I had porkchops and one ear of corn. Somewhere with in the day I had another coke which I didn't finish because I started to feel sick. Most days I don't even eat breakfast and don't have lunch till 2pm when my dd goes down for her nap. I have polystic ovarin diease, which I am finding out has a BIG roll in me having diabetes. I also have a family Hx of it as well. I have not taken any classes at the monent but hope to find out more Monday after the Dr visit.Well I need to go help Dh with our baby. If i missed anything let me know. Thanks again everyone! .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 --- Really tough to do just a couple of pieces of popcorn or chips etc. Guess its the salt that makes one go back for more. So like you I don't even bother with it. As far as the diet soda, I cannot drink regular anymore, I don't like the taste of it! I know right away if a waitress has given me the wrong one and send it back. Guess that's from being on diet so long! One of my friends who is a new diabetic never liked diet soda. However, she experimented with all the various brands that are available. She didn't like diet coke at all but really liked diet pepsi, I don't like diet pepsi but love diet coke! She also tried the store brands and found some of the flavors to her liking. I don't go to the movies often but usually I have eaten lunch or dinner before I go so am not hungry when there so no temptation with the popcorn etc! Have a great day everyone!!!

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hi Sue, My name is Therese, I have a two year old sone who was diagnos with charge syndrome at birth. He had a heart murmur, which has since been repaired, coloboma and now wears glasses, cleft pallete and lip which was repaired seven days after birth, his ears are slifhtly deformed and there are questions as far as his hearing are concerned. When he was born, we were not surprised, since the cleft was detected before his birth. I know exactly what your daughter in law is going through, because we could not discuss it with anyone. Today he's doing great, and is still receiving medical attention. Developmentally he is delayed but we are taking each day one day at a time. hanging in there, things will get better.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hi Sue, Welcome. My charger turned 10 years old on May 7th. Those early days are a blur now, but I do recall that they were very stressful and I didn't want to *deal* with it. Once your DIL gets past that stage, she'll reach out for help.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hello Sue My name is my daughter Vicky, 21/2 yr old CHARGEr also has coloboma of both eyes the right is far more significant. She was born with Tetrology of Fallot, a heart condition which required surgery when she was 8 mos of age and esophageal atresia ( which meant that her stomach and esphagus were not connected but her esophagus and trachea were) which required surgery at 18 hrs of age. She also has a funny shaped right ear and is prone to ear infections, but the tubes helped a lot. She was born one month early and I had some problems during the pregnancy. She spent 3 mos in the hospital. Required an aorta pexy ( sutured her trachea to her breastbone) so her trachea wouldn't continue to collapse cutting off her airway. Now she is doing very well. Walking, talking and getting into all kinds of toddler trouble. I understand how your DIL is feeling and if is very hard to talk about at first. All you can do is be patient with her. Please keep us posted on how everyone is doing. And hang in there. Huff - PA Vicky 21/2 yr old CHARGEr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
