  • Hi, I'm Dadof8 and I'm a carbaholic. I used to drink 2 to 3 20oz bottles of Coke a day. 3 weeks ago my Doc checked my A1C and it was 12.2 which calculates to a BG level of ~303! I started on a low carb diet that day and three weeks later my FBG level this morning was 92 and has been < 100 for the last six days. I'm…

  • 3 weeks of being back on the wagon with a low carb diet. FBG before getting on the wagon was ~303, I've now been below 100 for the past 6 days. I've increased the metformin from 500 to 1000 mg. Doc wants me to go to 2000 mg. At this point with FGB < 100 and still on a slight downward trend I'm going o hold off on the…

  • 92, interesting to hear about the accuracy of the home meters. I was wondering about that but had not done any research on it yet.

  • I've only been on the low card diet for about 10 days so I have a small sample size. I'd like to see where my BG "stabilizes" before increasing my meds. I'm not in a hurry to get off it just reluctant to take on more.

  • At this point it seem the low carb diet has put my BG into a free fall (102 this AM) I don't know what the metformin increase has done to that number. I'm inclined to let my BG number stabilize before making the metformin change. I know tuning the BG is not a precise formula but by turning to many knobs at the same time…

  • first time around a couple years back (2011ish) i went on an exercise regime of walking up to 10 miles a day. I lost 45 lbs felt great and got off my meds. Ultimately though with a family of 8 kids I couldn't keep putting that much time of my day into exercise and fell off the wagon. 10 days ago Dr. measured my A1C at 12.2…

  • Climbing back on the wagon myself. 10 days ago I went back to my Dr. and found my A1C was at 12.2. After a harsh scolding I've been a good boy. I've started a low carb diet (16 carbs yesterday, I would get 4 times that in one of my 20oz Cokes 11 days ago) and my glucose levels have been in a free fall. A1C of 12.2…

  • We don’t in our parish; our priest says it’s not allowed in the rubrics of the mass. We are a fairly orthodox parish.

    in Confirmation Class Comment by Dadof8 September 2012
  • I don’t know how long I’ve been diabetic but I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. I used to drink 2 or 3 20oz regular Cokes a day. A1C was 9.6, dropped the Coke and was able to get the sugars under control, then started walking and started losing weight. My last couple A1Cs were in the high 4’s low 5’s range and…

  • With type II it can be done, I was never on insulin but with diet and exercise I've been able to drop my A1C from the high 9s into the low 6s and get off my drugs. It can be done with out drugs but don't leave out the doctor.
