Thanks Ellie for replying to my question, that is what I was thinking too!

Ellie, I am pulling for you today! you will be in my thoughts.

Ellie, I just read your blog and my heart aches for you. I know that desperate feeling as I am new to this whole diabetes thing. I too have many obstacles with back problems ( 4 surgeries and rods and pins t10 down) I suffer from pain all the time as well as knee replacements, plates and screws in my feet to preserve the bones so I can walk and an up and coming hip replacement. It all becomes over whelming at times. I hear that in your voice. ellie by no means am I an expert on this whole thing, but I do know that we have to dig deep and try and put the depression and negative feelings somewhere else so we can handle the task at hand ( diabetes). We can all concure this in some way with the help of our friends and prayer. You sound as if you need to just get your respiratory heath healed so you have the energy to takle the rest. Take it one thing at a time and try to get back on track with your diet. I have found that that is such a major part of this whole control thing, along with the insulin or pills. I have faith that you will whether this storm and get back on track as you know what the problem is. Now it is just a matter of implementing the knowledge you have. take it a meal at a time and by the end of the day you find that you didn't do so bad. Fight those cravings with a nice cup of tea and figure out the next step. I will have you in my prayers today Ellie as I truly understand the anxiety you feel

Hi Ellie, I would love to speak with you more about spirituality. I have been shunned lately by some people and it is hard to explain my belief system. I getting really frustrated with people and need to connect with someone that can relate.

Welcome to the site. Nothing like a picture at the Louvre in Paris. I love Paris and would be more than happy to live there. I am also from St.Paul MN so we were neighbors at one time. Hope you find friends and lots of info here at tudiabetes.

thanks ellie!,
what else though? I 'm not allowed any carbs at all whatsoever right now. Cause my bs is not coming down quick enough. It was sooo high to begin with, over 650. I didn't take the dr seriously though because I was eating a few carbs, but i really do think since its not coming down i have to pay attention to him.

so I made the chicken, now what? basically no veggies, cause they all have carbs. Is there a veggie with no carbs, or little carbs? no rice, potatoe or pasta, no noodles as usual as in my previous life.

what are some side dishes with NO carbs? I think that's a hard question.

hi again,
that would be my priviledge. You souldn so informative. i just cooked some chicken breast in a little olive oil, garlic, italian seasoning, apple cidar vinegar and white cooking wine. Tastes good. do you think the ingredients i used are ok? The olive oil is extra virgina dn I used only a little in a fry pan.
