Alicia commented on Natalie ._c-'s group 'Type 2'"I don't get really depressed, but I do get down sometimes.
I think it is because we can't be a "normal" person. Can't eat what everyone else does. Sometimes, can't do what everyone does. Can't get my BS to what it…"
Alicia replied to LaGuitariste's discussion 'Screaming Dawn Phenom on Bernstein, too?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"That is what I am kinda thinking.
Yes, I do take metformin in the p.m. I was taking 2 - 500mg (p.m.), but he back off a little and so now it is 1 - 500 mg p.m.
Metformin does make my stomach kinda hurt, but I just deal with it."
Alicia replied to LaGuitariste's discussion 'Screaming Dawn Phenom on Bernstein, too?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"This is what I did: Had a burger (8p.m.), I know I shouldn't but that is my downfall.
2 hr BG - 193, 2 a.m. - 114, 3 a.m. - 110, 5:30 a.m - 138
I will have to try this again with my "normal" type meal. I don't think tonight…"
Alicia replied to LaGuitariste's discussion 'Screaming Dawn Phenom on Bernstein, too?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"That is so true about Docs (and I didn't like the suggestion of eating that many carbs). Thanks for the info, I will do some more reading.
My first problem is to wake up and test. (LOL) Once I wake up, I have a hard time going back to sleep.
I…"
Alicia replied to LaGuitariste's discussion 'Screaming Dawn Phenom on Bernstein, too?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"My doc explained mine to me:
My BS goes too low at night, so my liver kicks in and will spike my BS. So he wants me to eat 15g of carbs at night about an hour before bed. I haven't really started doing that yet though. Mine don't go too…"
Linda G left a comment for Alicia"Thanks for the suggestions Alicia. I have tried spaghetti squash and like it...will look into the tofu alternatve....must also watch the sodium content here, due to BP being elevated!

- You're welcome Alicia...when I saw your profile pic featuring a bovine, I looked about for something related.....and came across this cute little moo-cow! I couldn't resist!!! I see your diagnosis date was little more than a year ago.....how's it all working out for you? That's an AWESOME A1C by the way! Can you recommend a pasta which is "low" in carbs??
Keep in touch.....linda
