I just had my semi annual check up. Doc wants me to stop meds altogether, says I'm doing fine on diet and exercise alone. Said not need to take my Januvia except if I spike over 200. I've been taking…Continue

Wait til it is overripe (brown spotted on banana peel) slice, put slices apart on a small plate and freeze. You can eat a few of this slices, taste like ice…"
picklebird replied to jrtpup's discussion 'The D food graveyard - what's in yours?'"Yogurt lovers might like Kroger's CarbMaster yogurt at 4g a serving. I love the vanilla flavor. All the other yogurts tend to be 30g plus of sugars. If you have Kroger stores in your area, worth checking it out."
picklebird commented on Captain's blog post 'BLAH.'"I had to be in hospital a day for mine and I wasn't up to normal for another week later. I had lost maybe three pounds of water. Can't drink that back in that fast."
picklebird commented on Natalie ._c-'s group 'Type 2'"No, but I got a muffin top even though I am thin. Studies say it is related to cortisol and stress. I wonder if I just need to figure an exercise to fix the problem area. I do a lot of walking, biking and some of the arm machines at gym. guess that…"
picklebird replied to Manny Hernandez's discussion 'How Many Carbs Do You Eat per Meal per Day?'"I find it interesting that many of you on insulin pens and pumps are eating the same way and carb limits I do, but I can do just diet and exercise. My non diabetic family and friends wouldn't believe it."
picklebird replied to jrtpup's discussion 'The D food graveyard - what's in yours?'"The food in my graveyard keeps getting resurrected! And buried again quickly with "I knew better than to do that." In general, soups, especially bean and pasta soups, Can't stop at 1/4 cup which would be my limit."
picklebird commented on Natalie ._c-'s group 'Type 2'"I"ve heard of it. There are quite a few stuff online to google on it. Most people are a mix of fast and slow but we might be slow oxidizer temporarily when ill. I lost interest in the diet when I figured I was neither fast nor slow. Now that I…"
picklebird commented on Natalie ._c-'s group 'Type 2'"Can't seem to pick a favorite veggie but I do like to have my veggies mixed. My favorite is cooking at least three varieties, prefer up to five, at one time in frying pan with a little extra virgin olive oil. At one time my hubby and I decided…"
picklebird replied to andrea's discussion 'Starting exercise tomorrow! Any advice?'"probably motivation is the worse thing. I see you are aiming for variety and that is one of the tools to keep yourself interested in exercising. I haven't read your personal page so I don't know if you are new PWD, but if you or anyone…"
picklebird commented on Natalie ._c-'s group 'Type 2'"Maybe what Christalyn wants is a staff member that regularly posts stuff here, to keep things interesting. am I guessing correctly, Christalyn?"
picklebird commented on Natalie ._c-'s group 'Type 2'"On other blogs/email service groups that I am part of, the administrators basically made sure the bills were paid, the site wasn't being compromised by spam, flamers, unwanted ads, and technical glitches. They don't post content."
picklebird replied to PittzburghFF's discussion 'Tired...All of the time' in the group Type 2"This is an old, old request. What exactly was the diagnosis two years ago?
For the rest of us reading this late, here's another possibility: low B 12 due to many years on metaformin, leading to anemia. The problem can be compounded by: 1) over…"
picklebird commented on Natalie ._c-'s group 'Type 2'"Actually, those other sites you've mentioned don't say so much as this one does! I can't speak for all T2, of course, but you can guess when my sugar control is less than optimal from just the fact I post here then (stress relief?).…"
picklebird commented on Natalie ._c-'s group 'Type 2'"I read that, too, but I don't think anyone yet understands type 2. Seems to be a liver thing as well, considering how it likes to dump sugar at a time you just ate some and shouldn't need more. Mine is a little crazy these days. I get 150…"
