Well I said I would let yall know how I did on the trip. I ate out and was able to eat good meals, steaks, fish, with broccoli or asperagus even mash potatoes one meal with out making my numbers go up at all. Everything was great till the drive home. For some reason, I kept feeling tired and sleepy on the drive ( 400 miles…

I know what you mean, I'm newly diagnosed. When my Dr told me he asked me to test my sugars every morning for two weeks and come back to see him. When I came back to see him I had a spreadsheet with my morning, evening and a few random test during the day. I was able to tell him which meals had resulted in which readings…

I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow. Driving across state for the week. So I made a trip by the grocery today and bought some of my favorite low-carb snacks ( propel Grape ( I love it ) ) and a few experimental ones. We'll see how the trip goes. As for falling off the wagon. I never liked that analogy. I think it more like…

Hmmm, I wonder if I could get my wife to take up belly dancing. But somehow I think that would help her and not me. Walking has done the best for me. I still have the spare tire, but it's smaller. Down one notch in my belt and my jeans fell down today before I could get my belt on. :laugh:

Ok realize that I'm basing this on the carb allowances for a guy so I get about 15 more each meal than a woman does. The best things I have found are Sonic Grilled Chicken Wrap . It's 39 carbs but with an un-sweatened tea or some water, it fills me up the rest of the afternoon McDonalds 5 piece Chicken Selects - it's 36…

When I sat down in my lawn chair at my son's baseball game and it broke. :laugh:

From what I hear Texas BBQ isn't that much to miss. Now Memphis BBQ that's another matter. Any way my diabetes coach said I can have dry ribs.

Hi everyone. This site is great isn't it. I especailly love the iphone and ipad integration. Being able to scan the barcode from an item and find it in the database, is way cool. I seem to be wandering that fence between pre and full blown type 2. My fasting sugars are ok. It's my a1c numbers that are not so good. So I…
