There are lots of doctors who talk as if they are experts also, but they are not. I had a "diabetic specialist" give me a list of 15g carb items and wanted me to eat 3 to 4 of them per meal, that's 45-60g of carbs per meal plus one for a snack before bed. I gave it a go and with 3 options my BG spiked from 120 to 235, I…

Not always true, I've had plenty of doctors tell me to eat "healthy whole grains" for a diabetic there is no such thing. A "healthy whole grain" is still a carb, which is glucose in the blood. To the original poster: I try and stay under about 100g of carbs per day with very little (preferable no) wheat. Everybody is…

Yeah, she's not my primary doctor, so I will probably never go back there again. I will let her call me with my lab results though so I can say "so my triglycerides are down, and my a1c is down? and I didn't die?....weird."

Not really sure, my regular doctor wanted me to see her to discuss insulin options.

Eggs! Lots of eggs. They can get boring though so I like to fry up a hot link or some kielbasa (sliced) until browned, then scramble in some eggs, and top with cheese. Or some bell peppers and onions, left over taco meat, sometimes just cheese. You can hard boil and devil them or avocado devil them. Add a couple slices of…

I am just getting back on here after a couple years myself. the best lab results I've ever had were from doing low carb and I wasn't really counting carbs to the exact number. I just avoid the carbs that I know are bad for my BG like bread, beer, potatoes, candy, etc. Typically I will eat something like this Breakfast 2…

Garmin Vivoactive HR. I've had the Fitbit Flex and Charge HR, but the Garmin blows them both away. The only thing I don't like about the Garmin is the "community" or "groups" isn't as user friendly for finding other people and most of my local friends are on Fitbit.

I'm at 170 miles now, quite a bit behind where I should be but I will catch up.

141.7 so far. I was sick for 5 days that sucked.

115.9 so far. Ran 10k on Sunday in 1:12:10, not bad since I haven't ran that far in over 10 years.

Right at 103 miles today. Getting a little behind, but I'm sure I'll be able to make it up.

It's the 31st of January now. My mileage is at 75.2, but I haven't run yet today. Yesterday I hiked the first .8 mile of cactus to clouds, it was no joke....910 vertical feet in 3/4 of a mile and it doesn't let up for 7500 more feet. I've got work to do if I'm going to make it all the way up in October.

40.8 miles down.

I'm at 24.4 so far...a little behind schedule but not too bad.

Rough weekend, had my mom's memorial service so I missed my Saturday run, I will run today though. So far on runkeeper I have 1.03 walking and 4.27 running. 5.3 down 994.7 to go.

Anyone can add me too. I am just getting back into running and will probably run at least a few races in 2014. Add me on run keeper too, I'm hbmcracer on there too.

Everyone is welcome even bicyclists :-) It works out to be 83.3 miles per month. I did 100 in October 80 something in November and with my mom passing and the holidays I only have 76 for December. I really hope to get over 1200 miles but wanted to set a realistic goal for myself. 20 of my miles will hopefully be with an…

Has anyone else compared their fit bit distance to GPS? What were your results?

Everything everyone that likes their fit bit said plus I'd like to add one thing. I run and walk for exercise and use run keeper for GPS tracking and my flex is usually within about 8hundreths of a mile of my GPS after a 3 mile run. That is using the default stride length for my height. I was surprised and thought I would…

I'm hbmcracer on runkeeper

But it's a helluva diet plan, last time I had some undercooked poultry from the crazy chicken place, I lost like 10 lbs over night.

What is your fasting blood glucose? I am 5'6" and was diagnosed with diabetes when I weighed 235 Don't let all the calorie in vs calorie out crowd get to you. That is true, but if you have metabolic disorder or diabetes there is more important business to take care of besides losing weight! I had a few really ****ty…
