Newly diagnosed Type 2

[Guest guest]

Hi all

Glad I found this group. You all seem knowledgable and a nice group to boot.

I have been newly diagnosed Type 2 and a lightweight. I do not have to take

any meds or shots at this point. In May I start a 4 week education program.

Right now I just need help to start somewhere. I have noticed that when Im

hungry, the BS is about 100. Hunger doesnt seem to be satisfied unless I

eat carbs like bread. Can you folks get me started womewhere for advice?

Thanks so much in advance

I found that once my glucose levels BGL were near normal the extreme hunger

abated. In my case when the #'s were high it was like pre-diagnosis without

the killer thirst. As always YMMV Your Mileage May Vary. It does take a

while to modify our behavior, also we can try to deny this @#$% disease.

Just goes to show that everyone shows difference Sx.

I got my first clue that I might wind up diabetic when both my

babies were over 9#. One was 10# and the other 10.6#. Altho

I never got gestational diabetes. Diabetes runs on my dads side.

He and two brothers had it. Altho, I think one brother was Type 1.

Me being overweight didnt help. But its ALWAYS been difficult

for me to lose weight. My sister is the same in structure and weight

Her husband is large boned and tall like mine. But her babies were

puny things. hehehhe like 5 to 6.5#... Ive accepted the fact that I

have DM. I just dont know where to start. Seems all the little changes

arent doing anything.

ok, Im done whining.

Yeah, I thought I was " safe " when my baby was 8, 13 oz. No gestational

diabetes, and no HUGE baby, so I thought I'd escaped....but not so!

I don't want to cause an uproar, but I don't have a problem with people

who don't edit their messages if they're not long. I feel scolded and a

bit discouraged though when this comment appears (even though it wasn't

me THIS time)!

My nombers are good, my alc's have running below 5.0 and my feelings

of hunger are worse than ever before. But some of that may be due

to the medication I take (Avandia), but still, YMMV is so true,
