Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 May I suggest next time you have a sandwich try open faced! You could even make a great melted cheese sandiwich...toast one slice of the bread, put the cheese on and either stick it under the broiler or microwave it for a few seconds. Or ...even better...use the lowcarb tortillas instead of bread...Vicki In a message dated 01-06-04 12:59:46 EDT, you write: << I've been writing down everything I eat but I forgot to write down what I ate AFTER I took the blood test last night.

Patsy >> Patsy, the bs probably from my own experience would have gone up over night, with or with out the bread. (for me the rise from the bread probably would have come back to normal before the am reading) There are complex reasons, but basically in a nut shell its because the liver gets nervous when you dont eat carbs/glucose, and it puts out some glucose by breaking down proteins to form it, this is what causes the higher am " dawn effect " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss bread. >> and all, if you have a bread machine, Life Services makes a lowcarb bread mix...if you slice it very thin (they give the weight in grams) it's only five carbs per slice. It comes in three " flavors " - sourdough french, cinnamon raisin and..gosh, I forgot the third. But they're online at www.lifeservices.com Also, the lowcarb tortillas make an acceptable substitute, also available online. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Patsy and Are you both just new to this?? If so it will take some time....up to 3 months for me...to see some of the dramatic results. Your body has been used to a higher sugar and is going to fight you when you lower it. I used to feel like I was going to faint at 155!! Used to make me so mad....I would mutter to myself... " If you are that hungry...take something off the left hip " . Eventually these feelings went away for me..I get hungry when I am around 100...don't feel bad unless I am below 60. As for the sore fingers....that gets better also. Once i found what foods i could safely eat I would have no testing days and just ate what i knew would not make me go high. Part of the loss of appetite from what I understand is the metabolic changes going on as your body repairs itself as best it can. Please be encouraged....it does get better and easier... ressy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 I was dx 2/16/01 but have only been low carbing for about 2 months. I just treated myself to whipped cream and raspberries for breakfast. Will test in a while to see what it did to me. Breakfast is my hardest meal. I have lost about 30 lbs doing low carb but I am just getting sick of the foods I am eating and so I sometimes choose to not eat- which I know is bad for me too. ---------- From: resmith315@...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Hi there, I do not remember exactly what treatment he did but I think he got treatment for the sperm allergy and he has gotten better. So he probably did some sort of desensitization like I am doing. regards, in SF > Hi : > > For those of us who believe our vv/vvs symptoms were caused in whole or in > part from a surgical mishap, what are the options for us?

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone. http://www.geocities.com/sweet_leaf_ca Post your free ad now! Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 That's quite all right. At least I am with a wonderful group of people that are in the same boat as I am. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you any positive information, with this disease it more of enduring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
