I was sure hoping you would forget about that. I got a new meter about nine

months ago and still haven't took it out to use it. I have no clue how to use it

actually. but I'm going to get it all out and figure it out. I use to check my

sugar twice a day every day, but like everything else in my life I let it go as

well. when I was still working I had a meter that required sight to read and I

would have my supervisor take it for me. but now I haven't took my reading at

home for more then a year. only in the hospital or the doctor office is the only

way it gets took now.

Now I know this is way bad of me. but the way I looked at it was I knew I

was eating all kinds of bad and knowing how high my sugar was wasn't going to

make me feel any better. I knew I felt real bad and I know we can't guess, we

must test. but I haven't for a very long time and this to is fixen to change. I

will get out my new meter to morrow and learn how to use it again. it is a well

can't find the spelling right now. will send it to the list as soon as I find it

in my note book. you would think all these changes I'm making all at once would

send me over the edge. but I wish for my life to continue in the right direction

and I also know I can't keep good control of my diabetes if I don't test 2 hours

after a meal. you see, you guys have taught me how to talk the talk over the

many years I have been a part of this list. but the big difference between you

and I, is you guys can walk the walk and walk the talk. I only got the talk

down. now comes the walking the talk for me. I really do appreciate you asking

about my 2 hour reading. I really was going to let you know soon that I haven't

been testing at home. but the meter is new and should work. might need new

batteries, but I will get it to working and let you know what the reading are.

Now soon as I find the information I got on the meter I will let you know.

Mark, unfortunately, ignoring it does not make it go away! The meter is

your best friend, it tells like it is! No judging, no criticizing and no

nagging! it just tells you like it is! It is only when you know how

different foods affect you, that you know you can control your BGS!

Yes I know this is so. but ignoring it was the bad choice that I made and we

see what happened to my A1C. When it goes up from seven to 13, well how much

higher can it go before you kill over dead or land in the hospital? I don't plan

to find out. I will get my meter out to morrow and take my reading and will

continue every day from now on. I know a lady who says if you don't admit there

is a problem, then there isn't really a problem. now you said, don't live to

eat, but eat to live. well hell! if I can't enjoy what I eat when I eat, then

why bother with a boring waste of time as eating? why cook if you can't enjoy

it? I say if it taste good you best spit it out! If it taste bad, then you are

on the right track. so what is a comfort food if we can't enjoy eating it?

Betty,

As said, that is not true. If you do a whole lot of exercise, you

might need some starches, but the only way you would know this is to check

your BG before and then 2 and 4 hours after exercising.

I have a question. I was told that a person with diabetes needed to eat a

small amount of starch. 4 oz of rice, potatoes and the like, and that brown

rice was better for you. I was lead to beleive the starch would open up the

cells in the body to accept the insullin better.

If that works for you ,

Then that is okay. I test 6-8 times a day to keep tract of what my sugar

is doing according to what I eat. I can avoid ups and downs that way.

I found the meter. now I got to read the Cd that comes with it and figure out

how to work it. I played with it some to day, but can't figure it out. So to

night or to morrow I will listen to the instruction. you know how us men hate to

bother with instructions? I guess it is a man thing. I know the meter is my

friend. we use to be very close when I first found out I was a type 2. but like

a lot of things in my life it went forgotten until here lately. not using my

meter is why my A1C got out of hand as it has. No excuse for it, but facts are

facts.
