We have been through the education, but I was trying to expand a little and find some interesting meals that would be healthy and delicious for the whole family.

Hi, I am a 51 year old female with Type 2 Diabetes. I am overweight (100 lbs) and have other complications due to my obesity. (stent placement) I am currently taking Metformin 1000 mg x 2 twice daily, plus Lantus Solostar, 27 units. When I began the insulin, my blood glucose was over 400! Now it is down between 200 - 230 in the morning. They want to put me on a different type of insulin to take with meals. I don't want to do that.
My 16 year old daugher has been diabetic for 4 years now. She used to be on Lantus but it caused a lot of lows and weight gain. We always thought that she needed to take the long acting insulin 2 times a day rather than 1 and when we saw her endocrinologist about a year ago, they changed her to Levimere insulin. You take this insulin morning and night. It has been a life saver for her in that she feels her lows quicker and her reactions aren't as pronounced.
Hi, I'm a 36 yr old male, T1 diabetic since age 14. I'm currently taking Novolin N & R, 3 shots a day. I'm switching my insulin to Lantas and Novalog (4 shots per day). I have a couple questions that I didn't have time to ask the dr. yet.
1) Do I still make adjustments on the novalog according to my BS readings before eating? Ex: If it's high, do I take more than prescribed?
2) Do I make adjustments for a heavy day of exercise?
That's great Carolyn! Just about everyone in my family is diabetic so I really have to watch what I eat too, and at times it isn't easy especially when I have a husband who is a runner so he can eat just about anything under the sun and not even think about gaining any weight and you should see the sugar that man consumes!! WOW!! I'm so proud of you!! Keep up the good work and hopefully the 12 weeks will go smoothly and quickly!!
I am a diabetic and I'm injecting Lantus in the morning and rapid acting insulin before meals.
My question is: I have ordered a pizza delivery and I have injected the rapid insulin at 7.45p.m and it's already 8.05 p.m and my pizza is still not here.Should I eat a whole sandwich immeadiately and leave the pizza for tomorrow or should I eat a half a sandwich now and eat the pizza when it arrives?
Honestly it's dangerous on your health to loose weight too quickly. Extreme dieting can lead to malnutrition and rapid weight loss can cause problems like gallstones. I know the Biggest Looser makes it all seem so easy to loose fast, but they are constantly watched by drs monitoring everything they do. It's recommended to keep weight loss between 1-2 lbs a week.
I started the triple therapy seven days ago and I'm having some difficulty with my more morning meals. Any suggestions? Also, I'm allergic to many nuts so it really makes things challenging. I'm really trying to stay away bad fats as much as possible. Also, is any taking any vitamins or supplements?
What do you think of this situation. I have been a T2 diabetic for 9 years. diagnosed in Colorado. Through diet and exercise I became totally controlled, BG before eating 74 to 90 and after eating , never above 180
My Dr said" If he didn't know I was a diabetic he would swear I wasn't" I moved to a different state, New Dr. He told me ( after Blood work) That I wasn't a diabetic and never had been. I argued with him , told him what my Dr in Co. had said...
I never made freezer meals my husband and kids have to have food freshly cooked. I just stuck with quick and simple meals. It wasn't too difficult especially with my 2nd because my daughter could help with her baby sister while I was cooking if hubby was at work. She was 6 but her father and his wife had a baby year before and signed her up for some big sister classes that taught them how to help care for a new baby.
I am not diabetic, but I have been on the South Beach diet for about 12 weeks, which is a diet that greatly restricts the use of refined sugars (i.e. table sugar, fruit juice, white bread, white pasta, etc.) but encourages the use of complex carbohydrates, such a beans, whole wheat/grain products, starchy vegetables, etc. I eat small meals about every 2-4 hours. I have lost 25 pounds so far.
I keep orange juice on hand but might not be able to get to it. Is there anything easy to use that I could carry with me? I am never thinking clearly at these times and usually don't realize my sugar is low before it becomes a problem. I would appreciate anyone's suggestions.
May I ask how you eat your meals? I've been type 2 diabetic for about 6 months and I've found it helps me to eat small meals more frequently, otherwise I seem to have high's and low's which is what we want to avoid.
Why don't you try a legitimate weight loss program to get some solid advice and plans?They may not be free but they do offer expert advice that will really change the way you think about healthy weight loss and living. I used to be overweight and I was lucky enough to come across a good book on dieting and exercise...'The diet solution' if I remember..
