  • Back On the vegan trail and still trying to manage diabetes. All I have to say is that diabetes doesnt take a vacation! Fasting was at 125 a couple days ago. I'd like to get it to 100 in two weeks....We shall see!

  • 7 weeks on the diet plan and things are looking good! Fear the 4th though, but just need to make healthy choices. Had talked to a Physicians Assistant this week at a party and he fired me up! EXERCISE and eat no junk was his battle cry. SO I have been slowly giving up things in bags (chips, popcorn, junk etc). and fast…

  • Hello friends! Almost done with week 4 on a vegan diet and I just took my blood glucose readings and it was 90! 10lbs lost since I started and am recharged although I am a little shakey. Hopefully this apple helps. Hang in there everybody and live well!

  • Oh the first day is the hardest day and you know so is the second and third,etc, but I know you can do it. Just need to focus on it everyday and if you falter like most of us do, get back on track.

  • Oh boy do I need to get recommited to exercise after this weekend! It's tough to take the first step, but I will. I signed up for a Biggest Loser Competition at work and my team said Atkins was the way to go. I laughed and said I am just starting my 3rd week of a vegan diet and seems to be working for me! Blood sugar was…

  • Hello all, Thanks for your comments and support! As soon as I get a little more tech savvy, I'll reply to each of you individually! It's been a week since I adopted a vegan diet and seen my gluc level as low as 97. I've dropped my fasting gluc from 236 to 120. Also lost a couple of pounds and have been walking every…
