Hi im new to the club. I am a 41 year old stay at
home wife and mom who was just told she had diabetes.
I am now testing my blood this week. My levels are
the same….high in the Am before eating…170 to 200
and then it goes to 120 to 160 at 1pm…then climbs
to 180 at bed….real strange. Im not eating sugar
and eating very low carbs…..but still no budge and
I do not want
medication….<br
I am so glad I joined this club. You all will
never know how much I appreciate the support and all
the helpful information. As you all know I am sure,
the first few weeks and months dealing with diabetes
are the most difficult until you come to some kind of
acceptance and get into a diet/medication/testing routine.
You’re in an emotional tailspin and you guys and a very
supportive husband have helped me through it. Thank you so
much!
Thank you Cat. Did anyone see a longer posting from me on here that then
disappeared soon, like it was removed by someone???? I wrote the owners but no
reply.!!!<br
This may seem a silly question, but I am VERY new
at this. I am with my husband on a college campus
and the only dr I can afford is the one who comes to
the clinic here, and I am not sure when he is going
to be here again, so I am pretty much figuring this
out on my own. I am not even sure if I am going to be
on meds or not until I get to see him. Can anyone
tell me exactly how many carbs I am supposed to be
eating each day? Like I said, I am totally inexperienced
with this and pretty much on my own right now and I
don’t want to make things even worse with my
inexperience. I will somehow do what I am told if only someone
will tell me what it is I am supposed to do. I’d
appreciate any help. Thanks!
Just a test to see if I’m still alive. Been away a long time. (Not in jail or
comparible accommodation.)<br
Thank you everyone for all the kind words and the
encouragement. I appreciate it! I should find out in the next
couple of days just what, if any medication I need, and
just exactly what my personal target blood sugar range
should be. I seem to be getting alot of conflicting
information, but hopefully that will be straightened out. I’ll
let you know. Thanks again!
Hi everyone. I’m a 36 year old female from Ky and
I have learned I have diabetes. I check my blood
sugar twice a day and I just began the Diabetic
Exchange diet. I am very discouraged because I do not
think I can stick to it. I cannot live this way the
rest of my life. I am angry because I do not
understand why I had to get this stupid disease which will
control me the rest of my life. I am also scared to
death! If anyone has any encouragement or words of
wisdom for me, I would appreciate hearing them. Thanks!
