Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Hi Glenn. If you are taking eleven different types of medication that does complicate finding the right meal plan that will work best for you. I don't take meds so I doubt if I can be of much help, but if you post what medication you are taking there are others in the group who can give you more information, and links to helpful websites, that can help you learn more about how different types of medications interact and affect your bgs. With your heart problems you do need to be careful about finding the type right exercise. Has your doctor made any recommendations this regard? Finding a local support group consisting of people with heart problems similar to yours can help provide you with the info and motivation to develop a program that will work for you. You say you try to veggies and fruit. Not all vegetables are right for diabetics, such as root vegetables (potatoes & beets). Not all fruit is healthy either. Have you consulted a nutritionist about your diet? Given your high bgs levels I would say trying is not good enough. The choice is either change your diet, exercise and perhaps lifestyle or get sicker. I look forward to hearing more from you.
