Guest guest Posted February 13, 2000 Report Share Posted February 13, 2000 I have been diabetic for about 5 years. I have never had any real instructions on how to control my blood sugar...other than to avoid sweets and " watch " what I eat. Do I have to give us everything I love to eat just to keep my blood sugar within the accepted levels? My last blood test was over 9...my doctor said it should be around 6. I need to talk to someone who can advise me on more healther eatting habits. Sweets are not a big thing with me but I do love mexican foods and oriental foods...of course meatloaf and stuff like that. Is rice bad for dibetics? I love rice. I also have a heart condition that I know is agravated by my high sugar levels. I have had one heart attack and 3 stents put in to open clogged arteries. I don't eat much, but I must be eating the wrong things. Most of the time I have a bowl of cereal with 2% milk for breakfast, other times I go all out and have egg beaters gravy and biscuits. Lunch really varies...sometime (most of the time) I eat a bag of low salt no cholesterol butter popcorn and a surgar free lemonade. I love tea (iced) but I have learned to use only nutra sweet. What am I doing wrong...I really need someone to talk to me. I try to talk to my daughter but right now she is so fragil that I only upset her more. I have no one I can talk to. Please if you think you can help me...please write me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
