  • I take glyburide and metformin and I have an Apidra insulin injection pen in case I need it. I used to use Lantus, but don't any more. the glyburide is to stimulate your pancreas to see if it will start producing the insulin you need. Dr Bernstein is an author of several books about diabetes. Google him and you will find…

  • I use a protein no sugar low carb shake mix, and i put it in my coffee, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to.

  • Hi Robin, I just got diagnosed the first of January with Type 2 diabetes. Take a deep breath and be glad, you can do this. it's do-able. My sugar went from 300+ to running consistently now at between 85- 120. First, start counting carbs. Of course you know refined sugar is out, but did you know that certain food turn into…

  • If looking in the mirror make you feel ugly, then you need to stop looking in the mirror and interact with people. Do what makes you feel beautiful and good about life. If you are looking for ugliness you will find it -in yourself and others. Look for what is beautiful and right in the world.

  • eggs, cheese, cream cheese, pork rinds, canned tuna, canned chicken, brats, fried chicken, fried fish, hamburger, ham, bacon, shrimp, crab, lobster, peanut butter, just to name a few. Yogurts have sugar and be careful of dried beans, lots of starch, (if you are trying to eliminate carbs.)

  • Hi Jody. Lean meat, chicken and fish are the best, not hotdogs or processed lunch meats. Lose the starches, (potatoes, pasta, rice, dried beans, and breads, cakes, and cookies) and sugars. Go green, as in vegetables. Make me a friend and you can see what I am eating, and I usually am under 1200 calories. Once you stop the…

  • Watching my weight makes me nuts, and truthfully, I don't care if i weigh a ton if I can wear a size 10. This is how i stayed the same size all my adult life until an automobile accident change my whole life style: I decided what size I wanted to be and would not buy larger clothes, ever (unless I was pregnant). :drinker:

  • I read through these replies and they are very good, but in a nut shell, there are two kinds of fuel for body energy (that's where counting calories comes from) 1- carbs turned into sugar and 2- fats. Sugars burn faster, fats slower. A low fat diet is a high carb diet. Years ago, the only people on high carb diets were…
