Hi Carol,

You need to talk with a nutritionist or a diabetes educator. Call your

doctor and ask him/her to make an appointment for you. Also, you may want to

call your local hospital and ask if diabetes classes are offered. A lot of the

hospitals are now offering these free of charge.

Here are the bg goals as established by the Joslin Diabetes Center. Your

doctor may want your goals different, but this gives you some idea.

As you have time, go through the Joslin Diabetes Center beginner's guide.

This has a lot of very good information. Also, they offer online classes

which you can do as you have time.

You do need to get on the right track with controlling your diabetes, but

don't get stressed or overwhelmed with information. That can only lead to

higher numbers.

Once you start getting the right information, it will not take you long to

realize what you need to do to control diabetes.

That makes a lot of sense. I will start testing an hour and two hours after

meals. I will also ask the DR for a referral. Thanks all

If you are only checking your bg's (blood glucose) in the AM (fasting), how

are you learning which foods you can eat and cannot.
