Intro

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just joint this group and thought I should introduce myself. I am

a 66 yo woman who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in January. So

far, my doctor hasn't said anything about testing daily. I am on a

carb counting plan and since I need to lose weight I am on a 1200

calorie diet plan. It has been hard to keep my calories in that

area and the dietian wants to have 40g of carbs per meal which is

also hard. Most of the recipes I look at have more carbs just for

one part of the meal. Adding to my cooking and eating problem is

that my dh is on blood thinner and there are a lot of veggies he

can't eat.

Oh well, I must be doing something right. At my doctor's visit on

Tuesday, my bs was down to 96 from 116 and my choleserol is also

down. I have lost 8 lbs. since January 3 so the doctor was happy

with my progress.

I am looking forward to getting to know the people on this list and

exchanging ideas about cooking, etc.
