A Type II Diabetic Who Suffered a Heart Attack

[Guest guest]

I thank God that it was a mild heart attack and a " sign " to get my act in

gear :-) Hey, can anyone provide me with a list of foods broken down by

their calories, carb level, and heart conscious level ? It's

amazing when one gets a heart attack, that you really start thinking

about the right things to eat. I'm also interested in if there is a

calculator out that provides said information, maybe even an Excel

spreadsheet?

I had a 'mild mi' about ten years aago at the age of 53. When I had a

Thalium stress test about a year later, ther was a lot od dead muscle,

but my heart had started to grow new arteries. When I had my latest a

month ago, my heart is in pretty good shape. That is probably due more

to a very good cardiologist, and modern medication, than anything I do.

I do my best to keep my diet & BG under control. Since 6 months ago, I

have been on Lantus and Humalog with food. I take 6 - 8 shots per day,

& am hoping to start using a pump b/4 the end of thos yesr.

To track my food intake I use two programs. I used to use MS Excel,

but there is much better stuff out there.

Check out http://www.calorieking.com/. They have an excellent online

database which is free to all. They also have some pretty decent

software for PC & PDA, but it does not track BG or medicatio.

Also check http://www.diabetespilot.com/index.php. they have some

pretty good software to track food, meds & BG, but I am having a

problem with the DataBase getting corrupted at times.

Also check out: http://www.mendosa.com/diabetes.htm. has a very

extensive list of available software products for the diabetic.

If you want to go further with this, you can send me a private email

if you wish. I have a lot of info on this stuff, and I don't know if I

should be putting too much of it on this group.

Good luck,

Giles.

It was a 'wake up' call and I'm glad you survived to fight another

day. Have a look at the American Heart Association website

http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1200000 there's a

fund of information which include diet and lifestyle recommendations. The

ADA http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp is another very useful source of

information. Good luck.

Take care. Barry UK
