Sarah Vest replied to Mandy's discussion 'Fruit Or No Fruit?'"I disagree with one point here. You said 'young type 1's are very insulin sensitive'. That is not true for me at all. I am 28 and a type 1 and fairly insuling resistant (and not heavy). I seem to use more insulin than a lot of type…"
Sarah Vest replied to Mandy's discussion 'Fruit Or No Fruit?'"I agree. Type 1's can stil share their advice and experience."

I finally got a BG reading under 100!! 97 to be exact!! I was so happy when I saw that number come up on my monitor! Now maybe all my numbers will be good and I won't have to go on Actos!
Doctor Appointment

My appointment today went pretty well. She was happy with how my numbers were going down and she added another pill to my evening dose to help with the morning highs I have.
She mentioned maybe adding Actos at my next appointment in a month. I came home and read about Actos and I'm not sure I want to be on that. I have high blood pressure and have had irregular heartbeats (PVCs) and with the black box warning I'm not sure if I want to take Actos. I'll have to… Continue

I got my pink UltraMini in the mail today. I really like it. Easy to use and very nice. I also love the lancets and the device as it doesn't hurt nearly as much as the other one I was using.
So yay for nice new meters!

I finally got a morning reading under 200 this morning. 184 to be exact! And according to SugarStats.com my BG has went down 12% so I'm getting there!
I have a follow-up appointment with my Dr. on Monday so I guess I'll see what she has to say then.
I'm looking forward to my appointment with that dietician on the 30th. Hopefully I'll get a better handle on what to eat then.

I'm trying to read all I can about type 2 but I keep getting conflicting information. Eat carbs, don't eat carbs, don't eat fruit, eat fruit...It's all very confusing!
My numbers have showed improvement, but not the kind of improvement I was hoping for. I've got to go to the dr. on Friday for a follow-up so hopefully we can work something out then.
And I don't understand. My dad is a type 2 and he can eat anything he wants and still have great numbers and A1Cs… Continue

Dee Dee said… - Hi Mandy! I was surfing around the site looking for new friends. I am new here myself. I noticed you were in the NASCAR group (me too!) and the SE US group. I will have to check that one out. Where is Liberty? I started a Belles with "Betes group. The link is on my homepage if you are interested. Us gals in the South have such a hard time controlling those sugars cause the eating here is so GOOD!
Take care!

- Mandy,
It take time. Diet and Exercise are extremely important for control. Moderate your carbs. Not necessarily low. A dietician should be able to tell you how many carbs per meal. And exercise daily. I read an article where exercise alone has a great deal of inflluence on control of blood glucose levels. Ask your Dr. what would be a good plan for exercise. Belileve me, from experience I have been able to control my
diabetes by Diet and Exercise alone. Remember:
"Either you control diatetes or it controls you"
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Start out with a Diabetic Educator and Dietician to get you on the right track
