I have recently been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I just started taking the metformin and after three weeks have run into a problem. I am not sure whether I have a stomach virus, a reaction to increasing the metformin (1000mg to 1500mg) or if it was the ice cream I had but I can't stop going to the bathroom. The diarreha has been excrutiating. Any suggestions, other than I probably shouldn't have had the ice cream to begin with. Thanks from a newbie.
Ice cream has been my biggest craving, can't get enough of it (as unhealthy as it is) but my midwife said it is fine to eat in managed portions due to sugar c:
I already went for ice cream earlier!! Had strawberry cheesecake and I don't even like cheesecake!
Ok so I've been eating ice cream from ice cream van. Not all the time. About once a fortnight or something. But I've just read that you're not supposed to eat them because ts bad for you? Worried now...
Would it be ok to have some cookie dough ice cream now im 37 weeks.
yummmmmm
I have never heard that you can't eat ice cream there was a ton of other things you arent supposed to eat ice cream was never one
I never heard of that who did u hear that from I ate ice cream all the time and still do almost every time the ice cream truck comes around and I'm 33 weeks pregnant it's too yummy to pass up
Hi Lurius,
Net carbs are getting lots of attention these days because of all the Atkins dieters, but it's actually long been an important concept for diabetics who do carbohydrate "counting" and then try to match our insulin to the amount of carbos we're eating.
Foods that have carbos typically have a combination of carbos that we can metabolize (and therefore will affect our BG) and those that we can't (fiber). We subtract fiber from total carbs to get net carbs.
I have changed my eating habits, sodas etc and was really strict for a while but slowly have added back cereal and some ice cream (no sugar added). Also, my eyes seem worse the lower my bg is? Instead of answering my questions, my Dr says I'm doing fine. Oh, I did start with a pill in the morning and 1 at night, my bg was 52 several months ago and my Dr took me off the night pill. Weight is currently about 320 and was 387 when this started.
chocolate and vanilla muscle milks, kettle corn made by healthy pop, carb smart ice cream bars, sugar free jello, for drinks I found the mio mixers for water work well and diet sodas taste gross to me so I found that the 10 calorie sodas that dr. Pepper company makes are low carb. I got some 10 calorie gingerale its got 2 carbs. Taste a step up from diet. I drink one a day from time to time. And they have these zero calorie vitamin waters that are good and super low carb to.
I ate a decent sized piece of cake and some ice cream. Got home after an hour and my blood sugar was 194. I thought, ok, it will probably go down after 2 hours. Two hours later--still 194. I'm wondering if this is worrisome...I'm overweight, but we've been testing my blood sugar for years since my dad's diabetic and it's always been normal. So I'm not diabetic and we're trying to prevent that in the future.
Because I cant drink milk or anything but can eat ice cream. I've been craving ice cream a lot and its because I'm not getting enough calcium and that's what my baby girl needs right now. I wish I could be "normal" and eat yogurt or drink milk but the taste has always made me sick. I like cereal but can't have milk with it. I don't eat a lot cheese either.
