Re: newbie [was: Digest Number 1114

[Guest guest]

Hello, . Welcome to our list. There have been some recent posts

regarding neuropathy, which is what is probably happening with your feet. I

read yesterday, I think, that even though your bg's are coming under

control, that it might take awhile for the circulation in your feet to get

better.

What kind of eating plan are you on now? ARe you testing frequently to

learn what different kinds of food do to your bg's? Some of us have found

that lowering our carbohydrate intake initially will get our bg's under

control diet and exercise. And some have started with medication and been

able to get off it later one. And some of us do well on the ADA food plan,

which has too many carbs for my little body. Everyone is different with

this disease, which is primarily a disease of self management, as you will

find.

Welcome, . You're in the right place.

Barb and All:

Well my diet is based on cutting down on the quantities of food I have been

on and is as follows:

bfast oatmean, skim milk tea

exercise

lunch: vegie sandwich diet pepsi

snack: fruit and yogurt

supper ( dinner): 4 oz fish (usually), wild rice and vegie

snack: 2 wassa crackers and humus milk

Have been testing before bfast, before exercise or lunch and before

supper.....

I think my readings are still high........have had only a few in the under

110 range.

Also, in the last year and half have gained lots of weight like have gone

from 190 to 250 (blush)...i am 5 11....... nutritionist said one of my anti

anxiety pills could have been the cause of the weight gain. All this time I

thought it was from not exercising.

I am up to a brisk walk for a half an hour at noon time and am trying to

extend it every few days and get it up to an hour.

As I said before I am, since May of this year, on a trial work period after

being on disability for depression and anxiety for several years. So this

diagnosis didnt exacty come at a good time......but I guess there is no good

time for any of us.

And yes, I do understand that it is selfl managment.......and I am now

exercising weekends which I was never able to do in the past due to

anxiety.....but pushed past that this weekend......as I want to be

healthy....by the way I am 52. with the mind of a 20 year old hahaha.

Thanks for all the info from all of You and I pray that all of You are much

healthier every day!
