Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thank you this is what I needed to hear, and just reassured me I appreciate it, and thanks for sharing if you or your daughter wouldn't mind, could she e mail me, if you give her my e mail address, and send me a sample menu that she eats?or plans? I have no idea where to even start, I mean, I've cut back alot of white stuff, and I know the basics, but if I had a " sample " menu, I'd be more sure and secure and would be much more eager to do what I need to do thanks so much. sugar " In the darkness, there is wonders of light that cannot be seen with the human eye " ~Sugar gluecose intolerant hello sugar, my daughter was told she was gluecose intolerant about 4 years ago. her sugar levels are excellent now thanks to a very strick diet and strong regiment of exercise. there was no pills or insulin used at all only diet and exercise. she lost about 20 lbs. and grew a little taller so her body weight more closely matched her height. a very strick diet and exercise is what i recommend because i have experienced what it can do. just another opinion. david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 sugar, we really tried to cut out as much white bread as possibly. instead of whole milk we used 2percent. instead of whole chicken where it was possible we used boneless, skinless. Anything with granulated sugar was totally cut out of her diet. A typical daily menu would consist of grits with margerine and aslice of wheat toast for breakfast. lunch would cosist of a low sodium low fat bowl of soup or a sandwich on wheat bread. dinner would be something along the lines oflemon pepper chicken breast a serving of rice and a serving of broccoli. in between meal snacks would include an apple, or other fruits except pineapple, low sugat snacks, and we cut all things like potatoes chips and french fries out completely in the beginning. my wife is a master cook with artificial sweetners especially splenda. i understand all the hype over artificial sweetners but sometime they are a necessary evil. We didn't starve her but portion control was a big help in getting her sugar levels under control. her doctor told us thirty minute of continual exercise daily was a have to. cutting back on her fat intake, exercising, and portion control worked out wonderfully for her. in the beginning her doctor wanted a A1c3 done every three month. now it is down to only once a year. she was told to check her sugar levels at least 6 times a day now it is cut down to 2 times daily. if you would like i will give you email address to my wife and she will share some wonderful recipes' that have been modified to be diabetic friendly. sorry for the lengthy email. david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi Oh no, I appreciate this so much. I have cut out all " white " foods, and I attend the gym for an hour everyday, or at least I try, but 4 times a week, for sure... plus I have a stationary bike at home... I thank you for all this. I know what they say about " splenda " but I use it, but not to much. sugar " In the darkness, there is wonders of light that cannot be seen with the human eye " ~Sugar gluecose intolerant sugar, we really tried to cut out as much white bread as possibly. instead of whole milk we used 2percent. instead of whole chicken where it was possible we used boneless, skinless.
