Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Pink/ I will repeat what I've said often before and that is I do believe any prescription for prednisone should be accompanied by a referral to a dietician or nutritionist specializing in diabetes. Joyce has basically gone on a diabetic type diet in watching her carbs. I would if I went on Prednisone. First, you're highly likely to get diabetes and even more so if you don't diet. Second, the weight gain is a real issue and taking any care you can from the outset makes sense. In addition to the direct impacts on health that prednisone can have, the doctors need to recognize and warn as to the others such as weight and mood swings. Perhaps if they did that better up front, people could minimize the impact. > > > From: worth hope2thend (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> > Subject: Re: Dr. Oz > To: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. . com > Date: Monday, December 14, 2009, 10:23 PM > > >  > > > > Tell him I just started his diet plan, You on a Diet! In order to lose the weight I need to lose to get listed for my Lung Transplant. >  > C_53_Familial IPF_5/09, Washington > HOPE doesn't disappoint! > > > > > > > > From: Joyce T Rosenberg <pinkrockybeach@ yahoo.com> > To: breathe-support@ yahoogroups. com > Sent: Mon, December 14, 2009 8:51:20 AM > Subject: Dr. Oz > >  > > > > > > Just want you to know that i have started writing to the Dr. Oz show about pulmonary fibrosis. I would like to see this monster of a disease discussed on his show, thereby increasing public awareness.. > > > Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06)  IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania > Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 > www.transplantfund. org > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Bruce , you are so right. I was not informed and, unfortunately, did not do any research on it until after the fact. I wish I had known it at the time. My regular GP was furious when she found out. She guided me to the enlightened path of diabetic diet, and the pro-active patient teachings. You have reinforced these issues again and again... keep doing it, Bruce. I carry all of my pertinent records with me and ask for copies whenever I go to the ER or ANY doctor. I have a copy of my last PFT, 6 minute walk, arterial blood gas and list of current physicians & medications. It has proven a very smart practice and I make sure they make copies and return my originals (I am still learning that lesson as I have had to re-acquire information that one office managed to mess up). I have my CT scan from National Jewish (done in June and used for my biopsy in August) on CD. Having the HRCT on CD has saved me from having two additional CT scans.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 1 piece of bread, 1 small roll, 1 small potatoe, 1/2 cup rice, anything that equals 15 grams of carbs is " 1 " carb. Some diets give you total in big units (say no more than 100 grams a day) or some give you the carb total such as no more than 8 units. You need to watch out for starchy vegatable like corn and peas. There are many carb lists out in internet land.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 i learned about it when i contacted the diabetic association for literature re: diabetes then i took the diabetes course at the local hospital the dietician figured out how many calories and carbs i should be eating daily i am almost 5 feet tall and was told 150 grams of carbs daily about 45 grams per meal for me all of the canned goods and boxed goods list the carbs per serving, and how many servings per container or the size of the serving i also took out diabetic cookbooks from the library they have great introductions that teach all sorts of stuff i ignore the recipes there are different types of carbs -- grains, fruits, milk etc basically, you need a well balanced diet and you need to learn portion control in the beginning, i had my measuring spoons and cups out and used them all of the time i tend to eat the same thing most of the time anyway example breakfast: used to eat about 2/3 cup cereal, now i eat 1/3 cup cereal, with 1/2 banana, and 1/2 cup milk might eat 1 whole boiled egg or 2 egg whites eggs do not have carbs, but they do have calories, egg whites have less calories than one egg in the beginning had a hard time throwing out the yolks, but that's what i have to do if i eat eggs for dinner, i will mix one whole egg with a couple of egg whites eat the rest of the banana later in day can also drink more milk later in day used to buy those 100 calorie cans of fruit and eat the whole can, now i eat half the can save the rest for later canned fruit -- in natural fruit juices, no sweetened fruit juices one slice bread instead of 2, unless its the low calorie bread, count the number of chips, pretzels etc In the beginning it takes forever to shop, checking carbs, sodium levels, etc i tend to ignore the calories the goal was to keep my glucose under control sorry for the long answer Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 www.transplantfund.org--- Subject: Re: Re: Dr. OzTo: Breathe-Support Date: Friday, December 18, 2009, 11:37 AM Can anyone suggest a good/easy way to learn how to count carbs?
