Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 This is one of the reasons I have piped in a little more often. Although I am at a point where I have reduced the number of carbs I eat, I don't think I will ever get to the " low " carb end of things. When I was first diagnosed (7 years ago), I was put on oral meds and was able to keep on eating whatever I wanted and still had HbA1c's of the low 5's. Unfortunately, that part has changed and therefore I have had to adjust my eating habits to work with it. I will always like carbs! I think it is great that many people can still eat whatever they want and still keep good numbers. I would like to hear more from this group of people - what types of meds (if any) are you on and at what dosages. Do you have any certain diet or exercise regimes that I might be interested in? That is what a group like this one is all about..... many different people from all around the world with one thing in common - diabetes - and possibly millions of different combinations of ways to control it, or to struggle with it... sharing their experiences. This may not be " strictly a lowcarb list " but in the opinion of this lurker, it's awfully, awfully, close particularly since virtually all of the posters espouse that position. When I joined this list I didn't realize that was the slant because Yahoo gives an inaccurate description. I eat 350ish worth of carbs a day and haven't had a HbAc, or whatever it is, over 6 in I don't know how long but I will never mention it again, at least on this list.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 If the slant is low-carb, which I don't see it. It is because some of us including me are very sick and we have tried everything else. I went for 10 years on the meds eating pretty much anything I wanted and some dieting. Going form 265 to 220 over 10 years. But, then the medicine stopped working and then the almost fatal heart attack and then the PAD, almost bed-ridden from side effects from the medicine etc, etc, etc. Now low-carb is how I have left. If this doesn't solve some problems, then I don't know what I will do. So, that may be why when I e-mail someone to try it, it is because I am assuming they are as desperate as I am.
