Re: I KNOW I NEED A BUT KICKING!

[Guest guest]

Hi Mark,

The first step in helping yourself is admitting that you know you are wrong.

Maybe in admitting this, you have made your first step. It takes 3 weeks to

break a bad habit. It's not bad being on insulin if that's what you have to do.

Remember, that we always want to help you on this list. Just test, test, test

your blood sugar and try to keep it lower than 120. Your doctor may put you on

insulin anyway but if you can keep your sugar at 120 or lower you will know you

have tried and that is the first part of the battle. Remember that we are all

here to help.

I KNOW I NEED A BUT KICKING!

FIRST OF ALL I HAVE BEEN EATING TO MANY CARBS FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS AND NOW

MY A1C IS 13. BEFORE THE PNEUMONIA THAT I JUST GOT OVER IT WAS 9.8. 3 MONTHS

BEFORE THAT IT WAS 7.8. ACTUALLY I HAVEN'T BEEN UNDER 7 IN MORE THEN 2 YEARS. I

KNOW HOW MANY CARBS TO ONLY EAT PER DAY TO MAINTAIN A A1C UNDER 7, BUT I GET

STUPID AND EAT MORE THEN I SHOULD. BUT ALL THIS IS KNOW EXCUSE I KNOW. MY DOC

HAS BEEN SAYING IF I DON'T GET A HANDLE ON IT HE WILL PUT ME ON INSULIN BY

NEEDLE. I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE FACT THAT I COULD BE DOING IT SOON, BUT I WOULD

LIKE TO GET CONTROL OF IT AGAIN AND DO IT WITH JUST MEDICINE LIKE I HAVE DONE IN

THE PAST. FOR THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN ON A 50 CARB PER DAY DIET AND I DO FEEL

MUCH BETTER. MY SUGAR IS STILL TO HIGH EVEN THOUGH I'M EATING MUCH BETTER AND

KEEPING THE CARB TOTAL PER DAY LOW. HE WISHES TO SEE ME AGAIN IN SIX WEEKS TO

SEE IF I HAVE GOT MY A1C DOWN FROM 13. I KNOW WHAT KIND OF BAD STUFF THIS IS

DOING TO MY ORGANS AND I ALSO KNOW IT WILL KILL ME IF I DON'T DO BETTER.

THE Q I GOT FOR YOU GUYS IS AM I BEATING MY HEAD ON THE WALL AND WASTING MY

TIME THINKING I CAN LOWER MY A1C IN ONLY SIX WEEKS BY JUST DIET AND MY MEDICINE?

SHOULD I JUST BITE THE BULLET AND GO IN AS SOON AS I CAN AND GET STARTED ON THE

NEEDLE? HOW MUCH LOWER CAN I ACTUALLY EXPECT TO LOWER MY A1C IN SIX WEEKS BY

CONTINUING TO EAT RIGHT AND NOT SLIP BACK IN TO BAD EATING HABITS? I'VE BEEN

TYPE 2 DIABETIC FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS NOW AND I HAVE HEARD THAT AFTER THIS MUCH

TIME IT GETS SOME TIMES HARDER TO CONTROL THE A1C BY JUST DIET AND PILLS. I DO

THINK THE PNEUMONIA I HAD FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS DID RAISE MY SUGAR, BUT I ALSO

KNOW IT WASN'T ONLY THE INFECTION. I HAVE BEEN VERY BAD AND TO MUCH EATING ALL

THE BAD CARBS TO MANY TIMES THE PAST SIX MONTHS.

OK, NOW THAT I HAVE COME CLEAN WITH YOU GUYS AND TOLD YOU THE TRUTH, NOW I

KNOW THE BUTT KICKING WILL BE COMING AND I DESERVE IT FOR SURE. BUT WHAT IS DONE

IS DONE AND NOW I HAVE TO FACE THE MUSIC. I HAD OPEN HEART OPERATION BACK IN 07

AFTER MY FIRST HEART ATTACK AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT WOULD HAVE OPENED MY EYES.

BUT ALL MY LIFE I HAVE HAD A BAD EATING DISORDER FOR SURE. I'VE WEIGHED OVER 250

MOST OF MY LIFE. I'VE LISTENED TO THE FOLKS ON THE LIST GIVE GRATE ADVICE FOR

HOW TO DO IT RIGHT FOR MANY YEARS AND KNOWING IT AND DOING IT IS DIFFERENT. I

GOT SIX WEEKS TO SHOW THE DOC THAT I CAN LOWER IT WITH DIET AS I HAVE IN THE

PAST OR IT WILL BE INSULIN FOR ME.

I JUST WISH TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH LOWER CAN I MAYBE DROP THE 13 A1C NOW TO

WHAT IN SIX WEEKS IF I DO RIGHT AND TOE THE LINE. I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE GRATE

ADVICE I HAVE GOT HERE OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS OR SO. I READ EVERYTHING, BUT I

DON'T POST MUCH. SORRY FOR ME I HAVE GOT MY SELF IN THIS BAD WAY, BUT I GOT ME

HERE AND I HAVE TO GET ME OUT. MAYBE BY THE BUTT CHEWING YOU GIVE ME, IT WILL

MAYBE HELP SOME ONE ELSE THAT MAY BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OR HEADED THAT WAY

SOON IF THEY DON'T PULL IT TOGETHER. THANKS FOR THE HELP AND I WILL TRY AND TAKE

IT LIKE A MAN.

YOU ARE TO SWEET. THANKS. TESTING IS WHAT I STOPPED DOING AS MUCH AS I USE

TO. I GUESS NOT KNOWING YOUR SUGAR IS TO HIGH IS KIND OF LIKE STICKING THE HEAD

IN THE SAND. WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN HURT YOU AS IT IS HURTING ME. I USE TO DO

GOOD FOR THE FIRST 3 YEARS OR SO AFTER I FOUND OUT I WAS A TYPE 2. BUT THEN I

SLACKED OFF MORE AND MORE OVER THE YEARS AND THEN DIDN'T TEST MUCH AT ALL AFTER

THAT. NO ONE TO BLAME BUT ME AND TO MANY BAD DECISIONS HAS NOW GOT ME IN A

DANGEROUS PLACE WITH A A1C OF 13. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAS IT BEEN THIS HIGH. BUT

ALL I KNOW FROM LISTENING HERE AND READING UP ON IT IS ANY A1C OVER SEVEN IS

Hi Mark

I doubt if your doctor expects your A1C to be back down to 7 in just six

weeks. He probably just wants to make sure it is coming down. When I had

been off my meds for a long time and was eating whatever I wanted and then

finally went back to the doctor, (this was about a year ago) my A1C was

11.9. The doctor put me back on oral meds and had me come back in a month.

He knew my A1C wouldn't be down to normal in just four weeks, but he just

wanted to make sure it was starting to come down.

In addition to diet and taking your meds, you should start exercising. But

your A1C should come down gradually, not all at once.

Don't beat yourself up. I don't know a single type 2 diabetic who doesn't

go off the wagon once in awhile. I am particularly bad about staying

motivated and just get tired of doctor appointments and everything else.

But if we want to live, we have to try.

Mark,

it is easy to become complaisant, since most of the time you don't feel any

immediate effects. It is the long term effects!

You have taken a big first step! That is to admit that what you are doing

is not going to do you any good!

What you need to figure out now, is why you keep over eating, and neglect

the carb count! There is likely something that is missing, and is being

replaced by the amount and quality of food!

You can do it, but may need some outside help!

I really don't know how much you can lower your A1C since it takes a 3 month

average! There is nothing like the immediate present to start!

I wish you the best! I know it's not an easy road!

Good luck!

Cheers,

I KNOW I NEED A BUT KICKING!

FIRST OF ALL I HAVE BEEN EATING TO MANY CARBS FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS AND

NOW MY A1C IS 13. BEFORE THE PNEUMONIA THAT I JUST GOT OVER IT WAS 9.8. 3

MONTHS BEFORE THAT IT WAS 7.8. ACTUALLY I HAVEN'T BEEN UNDER 7 IN MORE THEN

MEDICINE LIKE I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. FOR THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN ON A 50

CARB PER DAY DIET AND I DO FEEL MUCH BETTER. MY SUGAR IS STILL TO HIGH EVEN

THOUGH I'M EATING MUCH BETTER AND KEEPING THE CARB TOTAL PER DAY LOW. HE

WISHES TO SEE ME AGAIN IN SIX WEEKS TO SEE IF I HAVE GOT MY A1C DOWN FROM

13. I KNOW WHAT KIND OF BAD STUFF THIS IS DOING TO MY ORGANS AND I ALSO KNOW

IT WILL KILL ME IF I DON'T DO BETTER.

THE Q I GOT FOR YOU GUYS IS AM I BEATING MY HEAD ON THE WALL AND WASTING

MY TIME THINKING I CAN LOWER MY A1C IN ONLY SIX WEEKS BY JUST DIET AND MY

MEDICINE? SHOULD I JUST BITE THE BULLET AND GO IN AS SOON AS I CAN AND GET

STARTED ON THE NEEDLE? HOW MUCH LOWER CAN I ACTUALLY EXPECT TO LOWER MY A1C

IN SIX WEEKS BY CONTINUING TO EAT RIGHT AND NOT SLIP BACK IN TO BAD EATING

HABITS? I'VE BEEN TYPE 2 DIABETIC FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS NOW AND I HAVE HEARD

THAT AFTER THIS MUCH TIME IT GETS SOME TIMES HARDER TO CONTROL THE A1C BY

JUST DIET AND PILLS. I DO THINK THE PNEUMONIA I HAD FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS DID

RAISE MY SUGAR, BUT I ALSO KNOW IT WASN'T ONLY THE INFECTION. I HAVE BEEN

VERY BAD AND TO MUCH EATING ALL THE BAD CARBS TO MANY TIMES THE PAST SIX

MONTHS.

OK, NOW THAT I HAVE COME CLEAN WITH YOU GUYS AND TOLD YOU THE TRUTH, NOW I

KNOW THE BUTT KICKING WILL BE COMING AND I DESERVE IT FOR SURE. BUT WHAT IS

DONE IS DONE AND NOW I HAVE TO FACE THE MUSIC. I HAD OPEN HEART OPERATION

BACK IN 07 AFTER MY FIRST HEART ATTACK AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT WOULD HAVE

OPENED MY EYES. BUT ALL MY LIFE I HAVE HAD A BAD EATING DISORDER FOR SURE.

I'VE WEIGHED OVER 250 MOST OF MY LIFE. I'VE LISTENED TO THE FOLKS ON THE

LIST GIVE GRATE ADVICE FOR HOW TO DO IT RIGHT FOR MANY YEARS AND KNOWING IT

AND DOING IT IS DIFFERENT. I GOT SIX WEEKS TO SHOW THE DOC THAT I CAN LOWER

IT WITH DIET AS I HAVE IN THE PAST OR IT WILL BE INSULIN FOR ME.

I JUST WISH TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH LOWER CAN I MAYBE DROP THE 13 A1C NOW

TO WHAT IN SIX WEEKS IF I DO RIGHT AND TOE THE LINE. I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE

GRATE ADVICE I HAVE GOT HERE OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS OR SO. I READ

EVERYTHING, BUT I DON'T POST MUCH. SORRY FOR ME I HAVE GOT MY SELF IN THIS

BAD WAY, BUT I GOT ME HERE AND I HAVE TO GET ME OUT. MAYBE BY THE BUTT

CHEWING YOU GIVE ME, IT WILL MAYBE HELP SOME ONE ELSE THAT MAY BE HAVING THE

SAME PROBLEM OR HEADED THAT WAY SOON IF THEY DON'T PULL IT TOGETHER. THANKS

FOR THE HELP AND I WILL TRY AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.

Mark,

it is easy to become complaisant, since most of the time you don't feel any

immediate effects. It is the long term effects!

You have taken a big first step! That is to admit that what you are doing

is not going to do you any good!

What you need to figure out now, is why you keep over eating, and neglect

the carb count! There is likely something that is missing, and is being

replaced by the amount and quality of food!

You can do it, but may need some outside help!

I really don't know how much you can lower your A1C since it takes a 3 month

average! There is nothing like the immediate present to start!

I wish you the best! I know it's not an easy road!

Good luck!

Cheers,

I KNOW I NEED A BUT KICKING!

FIRST OF ALL I HAVE BEEN EATING TO MANY CARBS FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS AND

NOW MY A1C IS 13. BEFORE THE PNEUMONIA THAT I JUST GOT OVER IT WAS 9.8. 3

MONTHS BEFORE THAT IT WAS 7.8. ACTUALLY I HAVEN'T BEEN UNDER 7 IN MORE THEN

2 YEARS. I KNOW HOW MANY CARBS TO ONLY EAT PER DAY TO MAINTAIN A A1C UNDER

7, BUT I GET STUPID AND EAT MORE THEN I SHOULD. BUT ALL THIS IS KNOW EXCUSE

I KNOW. MY DOC HAS BEEN SAYING IF I DON'T GET A HANDLE ON IT HE WILL PUT ME

ON INSULIN BY NEEDLE. I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE FACT THAT I COULD BE DOING IT

SOON, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET CONTROL OF IT AGAIN AND DO IT WITH JUST

MEDICINE LIKE I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. FOR THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN ON A 50

CARB PER DAY DIET AND I DO FEEL MUCH BETTER. MY SUGAR IS STILL TO HIGH EVEN

THOUGH I'M EATING MUCH BETTER AND KEEPING THE CARB TOTAL PER DAY LOW. HE

WISHES TO SEE ME AGAIN IN SIX WEEKS TO SEE IF I HAVE GOT MY A1C DOWN FROM

13. I KNOW WHAT KIND OF BAD STUFF THIS IS DOING TO MY ORGANS AND I ALSO KNOW

IT WILL KILL ME IF I DON'T DO BETTER.

THE Q I GOT FOR YOU GUYS IS AM I BEATING MY HEAD ON THE WALL AND WASTING

MY TIME THINKING I CAN LOWER MY A1C IN ONLY SIX WEEKS BY JUST DIET AND MY

MEDICINE? SHOULD I JUST BITE THE BULLET AND GO IN AS SOON AS I CAN AND GET

Markie, my good friend.

First of all, contrary to those kind people who treat you gently I am simply

going to tell you " Bend Over Sooner Boomer " and I am going to practice a few

field goals.

Now, next I am going to tell you that the pneumonia probably did contribute

to your raised sugar level - but - those gobs of carbs you have so enjoyed

really did most of the work.

Get your head out of that dark place, buckle down and stay with the program.

In 6 weeks you will probably not see a real dramatic drop in the sugar level

but pay attention to the daily readings and your Doc will be pleased if he

sees that you are heading the right way.

If you need additional field goal practice just let me know, glad to oblige.

I won't get on a soapbox because you don't need it and it won't help!

Mark, admitting we have a problem is the first step. So, you're there. Next,

work toward that life style change that seems to have alluded you most of your

life. As far as going on insulin, which may be what you need to be thinking

about, well, it isn't as bad as you think. IF you can prick your finger, you can

stick a tiny and short needle in your body!

Not sure any of us can tell you how or what to change. As I said, admitting the

problem is the first step,and you've done that. So, I'd say you're on the way to

eventual success!

[Guest guest]

Well, Mark, consider your but kicked! You know what you have to do, so do

it man before you need another by-pass or get pneumonia again.

I really don't know how much your A1C will drop in 6 weeks, but any drop

would be better than what you have now.

Good luck and work at keeping high carb foods out of your house!

IN SIX WEEKS BY CONTINUING TO EAT RIGHT AND NOT SLIP BACK IN TO BAD EATING

HABITS? I'VE BEEN TYPE 2 DIABETIC FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS NOW AND I HAVE HEARD

THAT AFTER THIS MUCH TIME IT GETS SOME TIMES HARDER TO CONTROL THE A1C BY

JUST DIET AND PILLS. I DO THINK THE PNEUMONIA I HAD FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS DID

RAISE MY SUGAR, BUT I ALSO KNOW IT WASN'T ONLY THE INFECTION. I HAVE BEEN

VERY BAD AND TO MUCH EATING ALL THE BAD CARBS TO MANY TIMES THE PAST SIX

MONTHS.

OK, NOW THAT I HAVE COME CLEAN WITH YOU GUYS AND TOLD YOU THE TRUTH, NOW I

KNOW THE BUTT KICKING WILL BE COMING AND I DESERVE IT FOR SURE. BUT WHAT IS

DONE IS DONE AND NOW I HAVE TO FACE THE MUSIC. I HAD OPEN HEART OPERATION

BACK IN 07 AFTER MY FIRST HEART ATTACK AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT WOULD HAVE

OPENED MY EYES. BUT ALL MY LIFE I HAVE HAD A BAD EATING DISORDER FOR SURE.

I'VE WEIGHED OVER 250 MOST OF MY LIFE. I'VE LISTENED TO THE FOLKS ON THE

LIST GIVE GRATE ADVICE FOR HOW TO DO IT RIGHT FOR MANY YEARS AND KNOWING IT

AND DOING IT IS DIFFERENT. I GOT SIX WEEKS TO SHOW THE DOC THAT I CAN LOWER

IT WITH DIET AS I HAVE IN THE PAST OR IT WILL BE INSULIN FOR ME.

I JUST WISH TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH LOWER CAN I MAYBE DROP THE 13 A1C NOW

TO WHAT IN SIX WEEKS IF I DO RIGHT AND TOE THE LINE. I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE

GRATE ADVICE I HAVE GOT HERE OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS OR SO. I READ

EVERYTHING, BUT I DON'T POST MUCH. SORRY FOR ME I HAVE GOT MY SELF IN THIS

BAD WAY, BUT I GOT ME HERE AND I HAVE TO GET ME OUT. MAYBE BY THE BUTT

CHEWING YOU GIVE ME, IT WILL MAYBE HELP SOME ONE ELSE THAT MAY BE HAVING THE

SAME PROBLEM OR HEADED THAT WAY SOON IF THEY DON'T PULL IT TOGETHER. THANKS

FOR THE HELP AND I WILL TRY AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.

Well, Mark, consider your but kicked! You know what you have to do, so do

it man before you need another by-pass or get pneumonia again.

I really don't know how much your A1C will drop in 6 weeks, but any drop

would be better than what you have now.

Good luck and work at keeping high carb foods out of your house!

Subject: I KNOW I NEED A BUT KICKING!

FIRST OF ALL I HAVE BEEN EATING TO MANY CARBS FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS AND

NOW MY A1C IS 13. BEFORE THE PNEUMONIA THAT I JUST GOT OVER IT WAS 9.8. 3

MONTHS BEFORE THAT IT WAS 7.8. ACTUALLY I HAVEN'T BEEN UNDER 7 IN MORE THEN

2 YEARS. I KNOW HOW MANY CARBS TO ONLY EAT PER DAY TO MAINTAIN A A1C UNDER

7, BUT I GET STUPID AND EAT MORE THEN I SHOULD. BUT ALL THIS IS KNOW EXCUSE

I KNOW. MY DOC HAS BEEN SAYING IF I DON'T GET A HANDLE ON IT HE WILL PUT ME

ON INSULIN BY NEEDLE. I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE FACT THAT I COULD BE DOING IT

SOON, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET CONTROL OF IT AGAIN AND DO IT WITH JUST

MEDICINE LIKE I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. FOR THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN ON A 50

CARB PER DAY DIET AND I DO FEEL MUCH BETTER. MY SUGAR IS STILL TO HIGH EVEN

THOUGH I'M EATING MUCH BETTER AND KEEPING THE CARB TOTAL PER DAY LOW. HE

WISHES TO SEE ME AGAIN IN SIX WEEKS TO SEE IF I HAVE GOT MY A1C DOWN FROM

13. I KNOW WHAT KIND OF BAD STUFF THIS IS DOING TO MY ORGANS AND I ALSO KNOW

IT WILL KILL ME IF I DON'T DO BETTER.

THE Q I GOT FOR YOU GUYS IS AM I BEATING MY HEAD ON THE WALL AND WASTING MY

TIME THINKING I CAN LOWER MY A1C IN ONLY SIX WEEKS BY JUST DIET AND MY

MEDICINE? SHOULD I JUST BITE THE BULLET AND GO IN AS SOON AS I CAN AND GET

STARTED ON THE NEEDLE? HOW MUCH LOWER CAN I ACTUALLY EXPECT TO LOWER MY A1C

Yep, Cy is right, and I will be glad to help him in the field goal department.

You most likely need to be on long-acting insulin like Lantus and bolus insulin

like Humalog, but if you are determined to lower your glucose levels on diet and

exercise alone, then you need to start eating all the eggs you can handle. I

hope you like fried eggs, scrambled eggs and boiled eggs. Each egg contains

plenty of nutrition, and you can probably survive a very long time on just

eating boiled eggs alone. The egg contains hardly any carbs to talk about maybe

one carb per egg. No bread at all on this diet. To spice up things have a

cucumber or some pickles. Maybe you would prefer munching on some raw lettuce

or raw cabbage. If you get desperate for something more filling, then maybe a

hunk of cheese will do. After all cheese is low in carb content as well. Then

if your glucose level is 250 or there abouts, take a thirty minute walk. This

will lower your glucose level by 50 or sisty points, but the only way you can

tell is by using your best friend to help you, the glucose monitor. ly, I

am lazy and prefer injecting insulin with a syringe. The diet and exercise will

not work in the short run, but it will help a lot. The only way to know for

sure whether or not you are now an insulin dependent diabetic is to have a

C-peptide test. If your pancreas has given up the job of producing insulin,

then this test will tell the story. If you have medicare and or insurance, the

insulin should be covered with a co-pay of a minimal amount. Good luck on your

quest and now you know what to do. Glad to see you back in the fold, Harry
