What are you all using as your percentages for your macros as a diabetic? I don’t want to be strict keto.
Hi, I'm Nancy. I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with T2D. I'm just beginning this journey and am opened to any advice, tips and recipes.
My Pepperidge Farms Homestyle Oat Bread has carbs + sugar - Help! What is a good bread for diabetics... that doesn't taste like cardboard (fingers crossed.)
This morning before I had breakfast I took my insulin according to my ratio carbs/insulin. But, I took my long acting by mistake. Then, since I wasn't sure what to do, I took my fast acting before I ate, I hope that was okay. I'll watch out for a low today.
I am so sick of seeing these ads, and the poor gullible people who get taken in. The main culprits I see are, Oprah, Dr. Oz and Dragon's Den. Take a gummy, no more diabetes. Diabetes can't be cured. It can be managed and with a lot of hard work, can be put into remission, which is not the same as cured. After seeing a few…
Hello, I’m a recently diagnosed diabetic and new to my fitness pal. I’m meeting with a nutritionist next week, but am trying to get a jump start on meal preparation. I have autoimmune issues which my doctor is thinking is the cause of my diabetes. I’m very limited on grains and dairy since it usually causes me pain. I’m…
This dr.'s appointment went well and as I was hoping. According to my doctor's scale, I lost 10 lbs, and 10 cm(4 inches) on my waist. I actually thought my waist had expanded, but turns out, it was bigger last time. My A1C was within acceptable limits for my limited pancreas. 6.8%. She lowered my insulin ration from 1:15…
I'm Victoria. I'll be 40 on March 8th. I've been dealing with type 2 since 2013. My a1c at the last check was 10.5 so my Dr switched me to victoza from trulicity. I took my first dose tonight. Any suggestions to help lower my bs and weight. I weigh 269 right now at 5ft 10in. I just want to be healthy and not over weight.
Last checkup with my doctor in December, she changed the ratio of my insulin from 1unit to 15 carbs, to 1unit to 120 carbs. That was because I was having a lot of lows. So, 2 months into it, my meal time numbers are a little higher than I like. I'm not getting lows, so I guess it's working. I guess I'll see how my next A1C…
