I'm not the perfect role model for a type 1 diabetic. I probably rely a

little too much on my quick acting insulin to get me out of trouble. Having

said this, I have been working hard over the years to eat well, to eat only

the foods I need and not to excess, and to not run too low either as a

result of miscalculating my insulin.

I saw my doc today as a follow-up for last week's blood work. My A1C was a

new low for me: 5.7. Most of the other lab work was good.

I could stand to lose 10-15 pounds. And for the first time, there was a

trace of microalbulin (spelling??) in my urine. I've been type 1 diabetic

for the last 46 years, so this is completely within the expected norm for

me. But I am still a little sad to see a little protein in my urine.

My doctor quizzed me about how often I ran low. Actually, she asked, " How

often do you run low? " Implying, to have an A1C of 5.7, I had to be running

low much of the time, and of course, then riding the roller coaster to the

top as well.

But not so. I rarely am below 70, and rarely above 200. Still not perfect,

but my point is, it's doable. Don't let your doctor warn you against an A1C

that is too low. They're basing their conceptions on the misconception that

in order to achieve a low A1C, the patient must be running wild blood

sugars, with lots of lows way down below where it's safe.

That is wonderful news. I just got an 11.8 on Wednesday and I hope I see the

day that it is 7. We had some other good news today. The other doctor came

and took out that feeding tube from . I heard from someone that many

of us know that it really hurt when she got hers out. But he just did

whatever and it was out in about 30 seconds. didn't really feel a

thing. The doctor said it is a newer style of feeding tube and that the

older style had a rubber bulb at the bottom and when they come out they are

very painful. So we were both very happy.

has already eaten two French toast sticks and half a piece of cheese

and one and a half milk shakes.

I did find out the insurance company won't pay for the nutritional food so

we will take care of it tomorrow.

Wallgreen's has a brand called Nutrition Plus and it has the same content as

Insure. The lady told me they are going on sale next week and if he likes it

I should call them so they will make sure to order some more for me.

Dr. wants him to have three of them a day. I guess if he starts

eating more he could get by with two and then an Instant Breakfast shake.

Things are looking up again. is not out of the woods but maybe with

this thing out of his stomach he will feel a little better.

Hope this encourages some.

Spaghetti is usually a problem. This is to say, pasta. Try a little and check

your bg readings. Do it 2 hours after, and a few times in 2 hour increments

after that. You'll see what the pasta does in your particular system.

I thought I heard that pasta and rice were kind of no-no for us but yet when

I read these diabetic cookbooks they have recipes with them and they even

have recipes that use real sugar. The advice I read in the care sections

sounds like what I have been hearing in here yet they actually put cookie

recipes that use real sugar, say you can only have one and that you can even

make smaller cookies. They are more in favor of using a smaller amount of

real sugar than using Splenda.

Hope this encourages some.

See how many carbs are in one serving on the package of spaghetti, (they

give you the cooked amount), put some sauce on it and then check 2 hours

later to see what it did to your sugar. I usually eat about half a cup, but

my downfall is the sauce. Sauce also has carbs in it and I cold drink the

whole can of sauce! I don’t, of course, but I usually have to take more

insulin after eating spaghetti than I do with most other carbs. Whole wheat

spaghetti is better than just plain white spaghetti. Remember, your BG

machine is your friend!

I was not even going to have it with sauce. I thought of just seasoning it

or having it with some chicken.

[Guest guest]

in my opinion most people can't limit them self to just a small portion. I

would how ever agree that regular butter and sugar is probably always better,

but really? if it is right there in front of us and so easy to have a second and

third cookie, then it hurt you. temptation is in our life each day, but know

sense in inviting it in on purpose. I do still make cookies for my wife, but she

takes them to work and doesn't leave them here for me to slip and eat. to me a

person with diabetes is still a normal person with the desire to eat as much as

they like of those foods and sweets that they dig. I have always heard if you

don't wish to drink, then don't hang out with those that drink or hang out with

those that do drugs. I think over eating is probably the same way. don't have

the junk in the house and only maybe every 3 months have a small portion of

things like pasta. most folks are weak when it is something that they really

desire. now I have seen those people who got lots of will power and can walk

around the food even if it is there, but mainly I think it isn't truly a food

that they desire a lot. I love doughnuts and I know right now if I had a dozen

here in the house I would give in and have more then one to day. I don't bring

them in the house and won't let any one else either. they can eat them before

they get here or in there car if they wish. where I worked for 33 years had

doughnuts every Friday. so those day's I never went to the break room where I

would smell them. in my case one mostly always will lead to 2 or 3. even only

one small portion to day may start a bad habit and every day wouldn't be good

even if it is a small portion. again to me this is inviting temptation to dance

with you. those recipes you are seeing will break the carb and calorie count

down in to one serving so you and I can enjoy a serving if we only eat the one.

if you are one of the lucky folks who can eat only the small portion and walk

away to not return for another, then more power to you. If you are on the other

hand like me and will give in, then stay away from it for a while before you

have it again.

Hope this encourages some.

You have a point. Tomorrow is Easter and I have always loved those

marshmallow chickens and rabbits. We did buy one box for ,

right...Uh, well, I really have to keep out of them because if I don't then

one pack would not last long.

Hope this encourages some.

Absolutely. You won't find a so-called " diabetic " product in our house. Well, we

do drink diet soda. I'm 100% for the moderation philosophy. Use real and

wholesome ingredients, including real sugar, but look for recipes that use less

of it. And indeed, make smaller cookies, or whatevers. But don't compensate by

eating more of the small cookies!

As far as spaghetti goes my wife loked at the carbs that is on the

package of noodles and they have like

i think 81 grams of carbs in a cup of spaghetti.

For this number, what i do to figure out my insulin is probably

different than what u do but i divide for example 80 devided by 3.

and i get the result and that is how mny units of insulin i take.

Hope this is of some use. I think u can use this method if on the pump or not.

Well Becky. Watch your sugars closely especially this weekend since

you are out of meds. If your sugar goes way out of control call 911.

I know they may criticize u for not having meds but well, at least u

are still on this earth and not six feet under.

Hope this helps.

Hey Dave.

Before I was a diabetic i only drank soda with sugar in it and i could

not stand diet pepsi.

When i became insulin dependent though i automatically suddenly one day

found myself drinking a diet pepsi.

I do not drink diet pop in moderation though to be honest.

I do still however drink regular dr pepper. They say diet tastes the

same as regular dr pepper but to me it doesn't at all.

I try not to drink to much sugary soda though because I know even with

them pump I have to be somewhat careful what i do.

Ya understand wha i'm tryin ta say?

Regular soda is usually pretty high in sugar. You should try to switch to

something with very little or no sugar IMO. There are some flavored water drinks

out there which meet this criteria.

Hi Dave.

Yes i know it has a lot of sugar because the carbs are very high.

I think heather told me one time like in a can there is like 45 carbs

and thaat isn't even the whole can.

It is for this reason I drink diet now and try to limit regular soda

when my sugar crashes.

I used to drink a glass of whole milk when my sugar crashed. Is this

better than soda as it has less carbs?

thanks

scott
