Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 's comment about the difficulty in knowing what is a " normal " fasting level is a problem I had when first diagnosed with diabetes. There were so many different opinions that in the beginning I was just felt overwhelmed with info. Gaining control over my diabetes has meant learning more about my own body, something I should have done years ago. I was depressed for several months after being diagnosed. However once I saw I was making progress I felt like I was gaining control over diabetes not letting it control me. That for me was the turning point. The most important part of my program is to monitor my bg level and blood pressure throughout the day so I will know how different foods and activities affect my system. That is really the only advice I can give someone else. Doctors, nutritionist, support groups and health care books provide critical guidance. In the end we have to learn how our own bodies work in order to establish a target range, meal plan and life style that will work best. I have incorporated a few suggestions provided by the group into my program so I would again like to thank everyone for their help. I hope every has enjoyed the holidays so far and that you all enjoy the new year in good health.
