Super_sally replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'New to EVERYTHING... even this site :P' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Hi,
Welcome! It is doable.
First thing is frequent testing. 2 hours after meals and fasting as a minimum. My targets were < 95 for fasting and < 120 2 hours after eating (but more ideally the 2 hours will be closer to the fasting…"
ashley_danell1124 replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'Just a little help on some things'"Thank you... I've tried the original Atkins and it gave me the WORST headaches !!!!!! I couldn't do it for more than 3 days. I literally felt horrible. If I stated I had type 1 I'm so sorry I'm T2. I just feel lost. I'm…"
ashley_danell1124 replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'Just a little help on some things'"Thank you.... I am actually scheduled to go to a diabetes class next month. I'm very excited and anxious to go. I feel like I know nothing. I'm also hoping that by the doctors increasing my metformin that I won't have to go on clomid.…"
Super_sally replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'Just a little help on some things'"I would say test blood sugar frequently (at minimum fasting, and then 2 hours after eating every meal). This will let you know what food is doing to your blood sugars and help you to work out what foods to avoid / limit.
When I decided to get…"
ashley_danell1124 replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'Just a little help on some things'"Thank you. I don't really know anything about the diet other than I am eating like 45 for breakfast/ 30 snack/ 45 lunch/ 30 snack/ 60 dinner/ 15 before bed. If you have any suggestions on this please let me know"

BadMoonT2 replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'Just a little help on some things'"The correct level or carb intake is the one that enables you to meet your goals. For some people 100-120 will work. I personally have had to completely eliminate the carbs that were causing me to spike over 140, which I have set as my goal. Foods I…"
Deborah replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'Just a little help on some things'"I was also concerned about my cholesterol levels when I was diagnosed. At first I basically followed the ADA recs(which seemed low carb to me at the time!). I went for healthy oils in food forms: nuts, sardines, olive oil. That & daily exercise…"
Kim Nater replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'New to EVERYTHING... even this site :P' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I've had diabetes for 6 years. When I found out I was pregnant, my A1C was 6.8 and it dropped to 6.3 within a month. I found that eating something with a ton of protein in the morning has helped with my mornings, which tend to be the hardest…"
kms replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'New to EVERYTHING... even this site :P' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Just wanted to say "hi" and welcome! I was diagnosed about 1.5 years ago with Type 1 too - I am a little older than you though (32). I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with baby #2 but it took me about a year to get pregnant.
Are you on a…"

Hi everyone !!! Just wanted to introduce myself and get some pointers from everyone. I am 24 and I was diagnosed with diabetes about 1.5 years ago. Well this past November we ( The hubs and myself ) decided we wanted to have a baby, even though we already have a mastiff baby :) . I recently had an a1c of 6.6 and my triglycerides were 400 ( outrageous I know ). I am looking for foods and snacks that can help me with both of those. I am going to take a class next month but I want to get a head…See More

Brian (bsc) replied to ashley_danell1124's discussion 'Just a little help on some things'"Welcome.
Often your triglycerides are elevated because of high blood sugars. Extra circulating glucose is converted by your body into triglycerides as part of storing the extra energy as fat. Many people find that triglycerides go down as your blood…"

- Hi my name is Ashley. I am from Tupelo but I recently moved to El Paso with my husband for his work as a NICU nurse. I was diagnosed with T2 after I went to the hospital for a kidney infection. They told my that my blood sugar was 185 and had not eat anything in over 5 hours. Well enough about me :)
