I am afraid I have no recommendations, because I, too, usually just give in to

temptation. Its much easier that way.

Re: your blood sugar results

The whole idea behind carbohydrate conting and dosing insulin in proportion

to the carbs eaten is that someoen with diabetes (type 1, at least) can eat

anything they want to as long as they take the appropriate amount of

insulin. I don't know many medical professionals these days who *don't* say

that diabetics can eat a balanced diet of everything, including candy or

junk food every once in a while. It's a bit different for a type 21 diabetic

taking only medication or controlling hteir blood sugar through only diet

and exercise, but for type 1s cabrohydate counting has overtaken the old " no

candy " mentality.

Hey!! !! You know that riding lessons take time to master!! Smile!!

When I feel like I want something, I wait a few minutes, and then drink a

couple of glasses of water with a bit of lemon squeezed in. Then wait a few

more minutes, then if I still crave something, I grab a hand full of almonds

or walnuts, and it usually works! What you are saying that darn, you are

human!! Smile! Don't be so hard on yourself!! Smile!

There are days when I think I am doing everything right, and things don't

get right!! Unfortunately, there is no quick fix, where we can say, oh!

Well, after I do this for a while, it will be fixed!!

Hang in there bud, you know that you can do it, but it takes a lot of effort

and infinite patience!!

Hi ,

what is it about cereal that makes you crave it? The taste, the sugar, the

texture? Let's work on this!

That's the truth. I haven't smoked in years, but I still have periodic cravings

for a cigarette or a cigar even today.

Actually, my Bg was not bd. About 3 hours after eating, my BG wa 112, in

the middle of the night it was 82. I expected thej stomach to dump all

those carbs into my system after that, but his morning, it was actually 63

and I had to drink a little juice. Maybe the glass of white wine I had with

dinner kept the sugar lowere than expected.

Re: your blood sugar results

Tomorrow is a new day so start over, right?

Hi ,

this message is one that has that really weird return address, when I reply!

It's about time that I post!

Morning 6.9 (124)

Breakfast 2 scrambled eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 2 slices of tomato, one piece

whole-wheat toast, 1 coffee.

Post meal, 6.8 (122)

Again did not test at lunch, out in the fields!

Lunch chicken curried salad wrapped in lettuce leaves, one small oatmeal

cookie.

Before dinner, 6.9 (124)

Dinner small bowl pasta, two turkey meatballs, good size salad. One small

square dark chocolate.

Post meal 6.9 (124)

I drink mostly water all day long! A coffee a couple mornings a week. I

find that water curves my appetite, makes me feel full! I always drink a

big glass of water before a meal, and another about an hour after a meal,

and many glasses in between!

I had the worst craving today for chip truck fries!! Oh!! Man!! I could

taste them!! Lucky, I was working out in the fields miles and miles away

from any chip truck!!

Hi ,

What works for me, although I don't always do it! Smile. In the evenings or when

I'm home anyway, if I want to eat when I shouldn't be: I jump on the exercise

bike or tread mill for a while. This usually makes any cravings go away, and if

they don't motivation seems to be better because I don't want to undo the good

effects of exercise.

Cheers,

Brett.

Thanks for asking . I think more than anything it is the sugar and has

nothing to do with the texture.

When I get a taste of sugar, no matter what it is, it ignites me to eat more,

and more, and more, etc.

If I eat a pop tart, I want more. If I eat a snickers bar, I want more. If I eat

ice cream, I want more. And on the vicious cycle goes.

Like you mentioned to me, some people eat to live, and other people live to eat.

I think I am the sort of person that lives to eat.

The only way I have ever been able to stop myself from eating sweets like this

is to take a black/white approach. That is, all or nothing.

That is sort of my personality too... all or nothing. When I work, it is not

100%, it is 150% of all my energy. Likewise, when I sleep, it is 150% sleep.

*grin*.

I've tried everything that I can think of... I've tried saying I'll eat only 30

grams of carbs at each meal and mostly meats/veggies. That has never worked

since when I eat sweets, for example sugared cereal at 30 grams a bowl for

breakfast, I want more, and more, and more.

Not to mention carbohydrate estimation is all just a bunch of damn guess work

and that is foolishness. None of us can accurately guess carbos no matter what

the damn box says. We either over estimate and are high sugared, under estimate

and go low sugared, eat more so we don't pass out, and then just get fat which I

am at right now!

I gotta tell you though, when I followed doctor Bernstein's diet I never felt

better. Physically, psychologically, everything improved across the board. My

doctor wants me back on it as well since she seen the results from following it

and supports it.

While I was on it, I weighed 165 pounds, my a1c was at 4.8, and my ldl

cholesterol was 80 or under. I only had to dose 2 units of humalog at a meal. My

God that is not guessing carbos, that is accurate!

I don't know guys, maybe it is what Harry is saying, maybe it is just the fight

and nothing more than the fight and me not wanting to fight it. I don't know.

Thoughts anyone?

excellent tip Brett. I am going to try it out. What an awesome slant on this...

something that is bad for me actually can be used in a good way. That is, when

the food vampire lands on my shoulder and says to eat pie, snickers, ice cream,

or whatever, I'll go walk on the treadmill!

Hi all,

a bit high this morning, at 8.6 (155(. Did a 40 minute bolus and had ham and

cheese on toast, for about 20 grams of carbs. Used 5 units of insulin to cover

the food, plus two units to cover the high blood sugar.

Post breakfast was 8.9.

Just ate one of the kids TimTams that I definitely should not have eaten, oh

well.

Cheers,

Brett.

Maybe the answer lies somewhere within finding a happy medium. Perhaps trying to

live in both worlds (that is, the Dr. B world and the regular world) is too

unrealistic.

Find that happy medium where you can have some carbohydrates throughout the day,

but on a limited basis. This is one reason I advocate small cheats each day. I

find a tiny piece of candy just about every day is enough. I am not faced with a

gloomy outlook of never enjoying a piece of candy, yet I know I am not over

indulging either when I have a piece.

You are tired in the evenings and your defenses are at a low point. You could

always have your wife hide the cereal I suppose!
