way of eating....

[Guest guest]

Anne,

I hope you can continue to eat this way and maintain control. Actually, it

sounds like you're pretty much a moderate carber, right? I ate according to

the ADA diet for 3 years -- probably more carbs than you're eating now, and

I was able to maintain good control, but all of a sudden things went out of

whack, and a bowl of cereal -- which I had been eating every morning, with

no problems -- sent my blood sugar up to 350! I was also taking Glucophage,

and it quit working. Now, the only thing that works is low carb. Still,

I'd say I eat more fruit and vegetables now than I did before I was

diagnosed diabetic, and I certainly exercise more :-)

Don't get the idea that you are alone in eating a balanced diet, Jim. While

I can eat this way and maintain good BG control, I will continue to. If

things change in the future, I'll look into alternatives.
