Is it the obesity that causes T2 or is it insulin resistance that causes obesity? I've heard both but am wondering what you all think.I'm wondering if my relatively recent huge weight gain is caused…Continue

Brittany D replied to bikette's discussion 'Queasy Rider!' in the group VICTOZA"I just started victoza yesterday at 8pm. My nausea didn't hit until about 2 or 3am (I was still awake). Been up ever since. It's calmed down now that I've eaten some saltines. It comes in waves. The low parts are still a little…"

Brittany D replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'Different balance of intestinal bacteria linked with type 2 diabetes'"You don't have to be rude about it. Plus that was 2 years ago! Who can remember news from 2 years ago unless it is something like the WTC crashing?? THAT we obviously remember - if you are old enough."
Brittany D replied to chrissi's discussion 'Help! Sugar just won't come down :('"I am T2 and I agree that insulin sounds like your next step. I would speak to your endocrinologist about insulin and see what they have to say. It would be beneficial to you to start on insulin."
David B. commented on Brittany D's status"Unfortunately, as a diabetic, sometimes this comes as part of the territory. You tend to be more prone to infections and when they occur, they can be bad. I'm sure you already know to inspect your feet on a daily basis. You may need to…"
Brittany D posted a status"I wonder if toe infections are just part of having diabetes. I get them several times a year. I have one now. I see the doctor tomorrow."

Alan S replied to Brittany D's discussion 'What should I do?'"I agree with bsc.

Brittany D replied to Brittany D's discussion 'What should I do?'"well apparently I have to have a referral for insurance purposes. So since I have to see my doc on monday I'll bring it up and say i want to see an endo for my diabetes. I hope that doesn't cause him to question me further. I just…"

Hi guys. It's been a long time since I've been here. I have a question. I'm not happy with the way my GP is handling my diabetes, her lackthereof. He's happy that my a1c is 6.1, where as I'm not. He only wants me to test 1 time per day. I told him and showed him my glucose reading spreadsheet and on more than a few occasions my fasting bg has been around 119. It usually is around 105 or less. I eat very little carbs as I'm on the south beach diet.I'll be going to my GPs office to fill out…See More

BG numbers
Posted on October 22, 2010 at 3:38pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
My bg numbers are doing well with me on my very low carb diet. I try not to eat more than 30g carbs per meal, but I'm usually doing about 16g carbs per meal. My numbers usually stay in the 120's or early 130's, that is unless I eat cereal. Then I'm upwards of 180. But that doesn't happen often.
I'm wondering if my metformin is doing anything at all in my system. I did have cereal once and my bg went down from 179 to 102 or so in one hour (for the 2 hr mark). That might have been the… Continue

Dave said… - Hi Britany, I was resently diagnosed with type 2. I take Met twice daily. My readings have ranged from 140 to 180. I am still experimenting to see what foods helps it drop and what foods to avoid. The whole situation is new to me. Its hard to find any group to talk to here in Knoxville. Do you know of any? Holly said you live in the Knoxville area also. I live in South Knoxville.

Holly said… - For the most part I am doing very well on the diet. How odd for your doctor to not adjust your diet. Yesterday I got a feeling I was kind of high, so I checked it like 3 hours after I ate and it was 130, so I figure I must have checked it when I spiked. Other than that high feeling I got yesterday, I haven't had many problems.

- I am on the same type of diet...30 carbs a meal with no carb snacking. I was put on it by my doctor. Good luck :) I found it rather easy to stick to it at a Shoney's last weekend by only having their salad bar and meats. You can do it!!!
