Look up I breathe I'm hungry, wonderful page with great keto recipes. Also look up diabetes daily.
Hi there im on a diet and was wondering what kind of fruits would be low carb or any kinda low carb snacks for in between meals or at lunch time ?
Start metformin as follows, increasing the dose if and when you have no more side effects (most people only have mild side effects that ressolve within a few days).
1. Start 1/4 tablet at night
2. Increase to 1/2 tablet at night
3. Increase to 1 tablet at night
4. Increase to 1 tab at night at 1 in morning. (increase further if need be up to Max of 2 g/day).
Give the metformin 1 month trial once you are at Max dose.
Low carb diet is also known as keto diet.When your body is in ketossis you can side effects like bad breath and increased body odor with an unpleasent smell and digestive issues. Keep in mind keto is a short time diet and not a deffinitive one because if you keep it for a long time your body will not have enough fat to bune anymore and this is not what you want.
Many people are having success. Including me. I have been eating low carb for about 10 years now, and can get normal blood sugar levels (hba1c of close to 5) though I do still require insulin (I am not T2).
Dr. Richard Bernstein wrote a whole book on this called "diabetes solutions". Or you can also look him up at Bernstein Diabetes University on Utube.
I have been taking Victoza for about 3 months now have not had any side effects and have lost 22 lb. My morning sugar reading has gone from 168 to 102 i feel great , my apatite has decreased a lot. i don't have the cravings for crabs like I use too or the craving for sugar.
I have been going though the proses to have the gastric bypass surgery but with the help of this drug hopefully I wont have to have it.
I went low carb, but not true Keto as I found that too demanding and not necessary. Get a good carb tracker and set a daily carb goal with your doctor. I like low carb because it allows you to focus on what you can eat and not what you can't so much. In my case, a typical 2,500 calorie day equates to an allowable carb number around 200 and I try too keep it under 100 which is not very difficult in time.
The only thing about a low carb diet is that a lot of Drs do not believe in it as they have all been brought up on the high carb way of living and think that the ADA diet is the only diet for diabetics. When I did the ADA diet I not only gained weight, but I could never keep my BG numbers in line (I was always high). Now I keep my numbers very, very close to normal doing the low carb. But be warned, Most people do not believe that you can eat low carb and get thin, but it is true.
It's been 2 yrs and haven't been able to conceive. I went to a fertility doc , did an ultrasound I was told I had a tilted uterus and 6 eegs as the "normal" amount is 8. Did lab work and the only lab that came back was the dhea? The one for the adrenal gland function. It said it was abnormally high. The doc started me on 500 mg metformin. Ive only taken it once during the day and I went crazy like just very emotional and just MEANNN!
I know the subs are the case because I went off of them for 2 weeks and continued my low carb eating that I have always done (I have been a low carb eater for years) and started losing the weight. Some things in my life happened and I knew I needed to get back on the subs so I went back on them, continued my low carb eating ways and have gained back 6 lbs in a week. Is there something natural I can take to comabt this? Is it water weight?
Focus on tasty low-carb food searches salads watch the dressing eat low-carb beans. Take low-carb snacks with you between meals to crave your hunger such as nuts. The most important thing that I have done to manage my blood sugar is to exercise every day except Sunday the day I stretch and rest my body. Try to get 20 to 30 minutes in at least every day on the elliptical or walking being active every day will help manage your blood sugar and keep it in control.
I know it needs to be looked at by a professional, but is it your regular doctor, a pharmacist, or is there some other new specialty that can look at medicines and come up with the best solution for all these medications? Like a specialist that deals in drugs and drug interactions, that you can sit down with and go over all your medications? Like some kind of drug management?
Dr. W. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "fat and happy." Well, it's not just folklore. The same carbs that make you fat (and contribute to diabetes and other problems) also make you happy. It's simple science: Carbs allow more of the amino acid L-tryptophan to penetrate your brain. The L-tryptophan triggers your brain to make more serotonin, and the serotonin makes you feel happier. It's as simple as that!
Yet after carby meal(pizza, burgers and fries), I tend to go up between 140-180. I HATE sticking my finger, and get worked up thinking about doing it at 2 hours. I'm sure sticking myself effects me, as if I stick myself then check 3 times in a row I see a steady rise. Anyway. I saw the Dr. I had normal fasting, and a A1C of 5.5. After pushing some, I got a glucose tolerance test. At 1 hour I tested at 118. At 2 hours I was at 98. This is confusing.
However, I do have "pre diabetes" which I have had for over 10 years, so nothing new here. My A1C was 5.3. My numbers ever 1/2 hour were a little lower than what my monitor read. So, maybe it's my monitor? I don' tknow. But I"m putting it away for a while and not thinking about it LOL! So, that's that. So, what I still and only have is "neuropathy in my feet".
Harvard researchers put pre-obese people (they had just lost 10-15 percent of their body weight) on three different diets—a low-fat, high-carb diet; a low-glycemic diet with fewer carbs; and a high-protein, high-fat, Atkins-style diet. Each participant ate the same number of calories on each diet, yet at the end of the study, they found that people burned the most calories at rest while on the Atkins diet.
