I am new to this group, and diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes just last spring. I, too, have struggled with controlling my fasting BG. My A1C numbers stay in the 5-6 range, so my Doc is never concerned. She raised my night dosage of Metformin to 1000 mg, and I take 500 mg in the am. I find that my BG is "better" when I am…

I hope you are feeling better, and I share your frustration. It's very tricky to balance diabetes and diverticulosis. When I'm having a flare (as I am now) I don't worry so much about the blood sugar, since I don't consume very many calories on a pure liquid diet. During "normal" eating, I added fiber as one of the…

Baked, in 4" diameter silicone florentine pans that are the perfect diameter for the sandwich thins and bagel thins. They keep in the refrigerator for a week, and you can jazz them up with crumbled sausage, cheese, spinage or any other add-in you can imagine! Check my blog for a link to an online source.

What finally got rid of my PF was the return of warm weather and getting my feet back in my CROCS.

At age 53, and recently diagnosed type II diabetic, I have a modest goal of 160 pounds.

Total, complete and utter nonsense. Microwaves work on the principal of exciting the electrons in water molecules. They do not change the structure in any way, they simply cause the molecule to vibrate, generating friction, which, in turn, causes heat. The more water in a substance heated in a microwave oven, the more…

Kale salad. One of the ubiquitous "pay by the pound" salad bars close to my Washington, DC office has it, and I love the stuff. I eat it at least once a week. I've been eating a cup a week of Kale salad long before POTUS (that's President of the United States) paid his famous visit to The Lincoln restaurant next door to my…

I just tried an awesome salad I found on Pinterest for Quinoa, apples, purslane, a few dates and nuts. http://thezest.wordpress.com/2008/09/20/weeds/

Across the street from my downtown Washington, DC office is a CVS Pharmacy. They have a refrigerator case loaded with sandwiches, salads and ready-to-heat entrees. This is a great resource for downtown office workers who need a quick and inexpensive lunch, as all of the items are priced under $5. HOWEVER...there are…

Hi ladies. I'm jumping into the group. I'm 53.5, and am 20% along the way toward my goal of being a healthy weight by...whenever I get there! Becoming a diabetic finally motivated me to see a nutritionist (I *thought* I knew everything there was to know about dieting), and she turned me on to MFP. Who knew that something…

I am diabetic, and have had metabolic consulting with an MD specialist in weight loss for people with metabolic syndrome. I also see a registered nutritionist and am under a doctor's care. Based on this and with the blessings of all three professionals, I adjusted my targets to 35 % carbs and 30 % protein. For diabetics,…

And oh, by the way, the ticker means nothing. I've been researching food nutrition, diet, metabolism and medical management of weight loss for 30 years.

I had a hysterectomy about 8 years ago due to fibroid tumors. Coincidentally, a very painful, heavy period was starting just as I was going through preop. They gave me some Valium for the pain...now THAT was a happy period!...but I digress...Whether to keep your ovaries depends on the reason for your hysterectomy and your…

I'm 5'-8", and also 53 years old and perimenopausal. The last time I weighed around 140 pounds (in my early 30s) everyone agreed, including me, that I was too thin. It depends on your frame size and hip proportion, but a healthy weight range for our height can be be as high as 165, which is my goal. I don't want to be…

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I've had 12 miscarriages. The first one was absolutely devastating, and after 13 years, I still mourn that lost angel, but the hurt is not so acute. Like the death of anyone close to you, the pain eases with time. That baby was as real to you as any wriggling, breathing, kicking, screaming toddler…

It hasn't happened...and won't as long as I call it "exercise". I enjoy the cardio activities I do for the sake of themselves, like working in the yard or the garden, or even doing the laundry. It's amazing how many calories you burn toting those heavy loads up two flights of stairs and back! I can spend two hours straight…

I agree, so do a lot of experts. Read this article. http://www.ediets.com/news/NewsArticle.jsp?id=4000001 So make up your own exercise, and put in 75 to 100 calories.
