The chart displayed doesn't show a 100 mg/dl rise. You really need to read the text that was provided with the chart. The beginning of that text is here:
"Normal blood sugars after a high carbohydrate breakfast eaten at 7:30 AM. The blue line is ...
John,
As I stated in my first post to this discussion, I am a T2 and take metformin 2x day. Basically, I am insulin resistant.
You might want to go back and read my posts thoroughly because there seems to be some confusion. For example, I didn't s...
Thanks for the reply Joe...sometimes...not often.
I can't recall reading any posts in this discussion that advocated a no-carb diet. There is a lot written by so-called experts about how many carbs the body needs and the minimum will not be the same for everyone. So I would take any statement tha...
Hey Paul...I don't think 115 is too high... it is higher than I want to be and I actively work to lower it.
For me...115 is too high for a goal.
I like peanut butter on a small apple. Try to find peanut butter with no sugar added.
Keep in mind ...
Paul...I completely understand how you feel. After you have your knowledge base of foods built, you will be better equipped to manage the D. Hopefully, it will help you feel less down and more in control. It's important to keep in mind that there ...
metformin can be tough on some peoples stomach's. any other nausea problems when you're not at the amusement park?
For the first time since my dx in April, this past week my son and I went to an amusement park and rode the roller coasters. I love the coasters and they have never made me feel sick. This time was different. After the second roller coaster ride I...
John...I've eaten instant as well as the old fashioned kind that you have to completely cook that comes in the round box. As I stated in other posts, it sent my bs really high and because it is high-fiber, my bs stayed high for 3 or 4 hours.
Non-Diabetic range is between 70 and 100. A non-diabetic or non-prediabetic would never go as high as 120.
I have never been lower than 70 and when I am below 90 it is only before meals or first thing in the morning. At one hour after eating, I wa...
I have heard of it but didn't know anything about it. I just googled it and read a few of the hits that came up. Since my pancreas is functioning normally and my main problem is that I am insulin resistant, it appears that the ingredient in Glucat...
Paul...have you tried the Special K Protein Plus?
For me...In the beginning I ate high-fiber because generally speaking high-fiber is what is best for good health. Unfortunately for me, high fiber just meant it took longer for the carbs to burn out of my system and usually left me with high BS fo...
Frank...I beg to differ...in my world of diabetes "can't eat" is alive and well. There are foods that I loved and haven't touched since my diagnosis.
John...you sound like you've tracked your numbers for a while, so you probably already know that there are many things besides food that can affect your BS...exercise, lack of sleep, stress, illness, strong emotions, when you get too hot or too co...

The Downside to Weight Loss
Warning: If reading about sagging female body parts offends you, do not read this post…just need to vent.
Since my dx in April, I’ve lost about 40 pounds and an additional 20 prior to dx. I am well aware of the benefits (not to mention I look a lot better in my new clothes). The downside is that I don’t look better with my clothes off. When I was fat, I was fat with or without clothes. Now, I look so different with clothes than without clothes it continues to disorientate me. Flat saggin… Continue

Michael Hefling said… - I haven't found any, but If you do please let me know. The best I can do is a multi-grain Thomas english muffin..24g of carbs. ruled out for snacks for me, but I can use it for two servings at breakfast.
Lets face it though, multi-grain english muffins are no match for an Asiago cheese bagel
