I have cats, but I've been feeding one of mine Oryjen and the other two Acana for a long time. You can now buy raw foods at specialty pet stores in small quantities that wouldn't take up much space at all.

^^ This ^^

HA HA -- I hear that in NOVA and into DC and back again! Seriously though although my BG has been consisistent since I've been testing (high in the morning and lowering through the day) on extremely stressful days my BG will stay at higher levels during the day.

What wonderful news! Congratulations.

Is it just MFP, or is he upset by Facebooking or other social sites too? The answer could tell you something about him. Just sayin...

As one who has closed my diary in yhe past, and who now has it open only to friends, I applaud your decision. Best of luck on your journey.

Didn't find OnTrack (might not exist for iOS), but did find GlucoseBuddy and one that's called Diabetes App Lite. I'll look at them more over the weekend. Looks like there are several variations available.

I'll look into this -- thanks.

Now that would be just too easy!

Diced and put in whole wheat pearl couscous salad (olive oil, vinegar, tomato, onion, sweet pepper). Awesome. Also, use instead of crackers with cheeses, hummas, etc.

Avacados, nut butters and cheese -- I may have just gone to heaven,

That's true. I was doing the math. And if you use the receipt function you ave the nutrients as well as the calories.

I've been lo carb (80-115) for more than a year Laura, don't think it was that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Awesome job! Congratulations!!!

Yes, this reading doubled as bedtime reading. I think so; 16 (equiv) glasses of water, 1343 calories. I hope not too! Slightly shorter walk, insignificant difference. Thanks.

If this is a life-style, then there needs to be room in that life for splurges, celebrations, holidays. Two unplanned days of splurge is not a deal-breaker. Plan for free-days and plan for holidays and celebrations. Pan for visits to family and friends if that changes what you do. Don't be rigid, be realistic; love…

[/quote] If you do this, you also won't have as hard a time eating all your calories. Foods with healthy fats, like nuts or avocados, have more calories for the amount that you get than would fat free or light foods. [/quote] This is so true. While reading labels is tedious, it is educational. Also, some of the chemistry…

That is a statement not a question!! (iPad keyboard :-(. ). I'm very grateful for the help and support here!!!

59 here. Add me if you wish. I"ve been slowly losing weight and working on exercise -- but right now my focus is on controlling type 2 diabetes. Lots of over 50s here, along with support and good advice?,

Welcome Sun, Maria, and Fred, Glad you've found ths group. I was diagnosed in June, and joined then. However I wasn't very active until my c ase manager decided to start me on glucose readings. First day fasting was 240 and I almost passed out from shock. Friends her gave me some good education and advice. Readings have…

I introduced myself several months ago, but haven't bee very active in this group, until now. This week the nurse case manager for my insurance carrier decided that I need to start monitoring glucose and ordered a meter. I have a lot of questions and suddenly my focus is off strictly weight loss and exercise and on to this…

This morning, 145. Still not great, but below 149 which is the highest number the nurse case manager wants me to see. I did have a cheese snack after inner, but fell asleep and didn't get a before bed reading.

This morning, 145. Still not great, but below 149 which is the highest number the nurse case manager wants me to see.

It's better now; down to 113 before lunch. There is some issue between the mail order pharmacy company and the meter manufacturer, so my nurse case manager is having the manufacturer send me some lancets so I can test more than twice a day. I can probably start closer monitoring next week. Have to conserve lancets until…

Good to know. Once I get and learn to use the meter, I'll keep this in mind.

Don't have the meter yet, she's mailing it to me. You'll have to tell me how to do that -- I'll let you know when it arrives. Thanks.

My occasionally just stalls -- doesn't need cleaning, full water -- it just stalls. I just unplug it and restart it, then it's usually fine.

Hi T2s, I' m new to this group. I've been off an on the pre-diabetic fence for years and pending a follow up blood test, I'll probably land on the diabetic side on Monday. I saw a nutritionist a year or so ago and was put on a 1200 calorie, maximum 80 grams of carbs daily regime. I lost a lot of weight for the first two…

I'm a big TJ's fan. It may depend on where you are -- my TJ's locations generally have very fresh produce. I do gravitate to the nuts and dried fruits sections (I always get the unsalted nuts). The do have a lot of good things in the freezer section but others have already noted them. I hope you enjoy your trip! You may…

Northern Virginia -- but I miss Milwaukee, WI!!!
