Have to share, lol
So I got accused of trying to starve myself to get my Blood sugar numbers down(I'm diabetic and doing this LCHF for it) I just plain wasn't hungry after my high fat breafast yesterday, so the rest of my food intake was very light. I was in no way starving myself, and I checked my blood sugar to make sure I wasn't dipping…

Had a blow out weekend
I ate alot of things that probably weren't the best for me. Just being honest. But I'm back on track today, except that I didn't take my fasting blood sugar, woke up too late and had to fly for work. But I am back on track today.

Heat and diabetes
So my ac just went out. I don't have the money to replace it, and I live in Arizona, where is gets very hot. Been in the 90's in my house these last few days, and it's not even summer yet. How does heat affect diabetes? And are there places that can assist? Thanks.

Fasting BS was 233, and phone app said I needed to go to er?
Why? I wasn't about to, I had to get to work. I know why it was high, and I'm sure it will come down. But why did my app freak out?

Blood sugar after workout was 42?
Should I be concerned?

So confused, sos
I feel like my dr and nutritionist are taking my fasting BS numbers too casually. Plus I have been doing my own research and it is leading to LCHF, or Atkins. I thought I could trust the dr's office, but I think I have to learn on my own, and there is so much that I am overwhelmed and at times want to just say the heck…

Help. Depression tiredness or diabetes?
So I am usually an avid, enthusiastic exerciser. I love a good hard workout, at least I usually do. But these last two evenings, I have been so tired, I came straight home instead of to the gym. I learned about the grieving process last nite, and I am definitely feeling it. But excercise is my go to, my stress reliever,…

Fasting BS ranges?
My nutritionist said 110 to 140? Which means I am usually fine in the mornings : )

Ok, how obsessive do I have to be about my bloodsugar?
I get frustrated, 'cause it seems like alot of what I read, leaves me with the feeling I can't ever relax about my blood sugar testing. My dr has put me on my meds and has me checking only twice a day. With the price of strips, don't really want to test more often. I kinda like to just do it, and forget about it till next…

headaches a problem for type 2?
Been getting alot lately, and today's keep hanging on. Even after taking some Motrin. I don't think it is med related, 'cause I have been on the Metformin for almost a month. Just these seem to be very frequent.

Low carbs, what do you eat instead?
I get hungry if I don't have a potato, or bread or something like that especially with dinner. How do you manage it? Last nite, I did ok, but had a bowl of fruit, and that has carbs too!!

Diabetic fatigue
Anyone else get it? I am wondering if it is related to my breakfast? I usually eat instant oatmeal(yeah prob bad I know, but is quick for work) and fruit. Sometimes a hard boiled egg too. Could this make me sleepy?

blood sugar crash
Had one today, I tend to eat when I'm hungry, and wasn't at lunch, so I went to the library instead. BIG mistake, I couldn't figure out why I felt so weak just walking around. Then I broke out in a sweat, and it wasn't hot in there. By the time I got checked out, I really felt sick, drove home as quick as I could and…

carb question
Is it a good idea to not have carbs at dinner? Thinking of trying it.

Great news for me!
So excited! Called my dr because my fasting blood sugar is still not coming down. The nurse said as long as I feel good(which I do) that it is normal for a new diabetic, to be kind of all over the board with the readings. But she is going to let my dr know. Anyways the exciting part is she referred me to the nutritionist,…

sweets are the devil
Dis real good at the potluck! Until dessert. I should have had none. But I started out small, and kept is small, but I went and had one more peice. Now I am miserable and tired. Is that from the carbs? Why is it so hard to make yourself do what you should? I just want to sleep.

New to Diabetes, anyone? HELP!
I was diagnosed a week ago, last Friday. Feel like I am lost, just putting around trying to figure out what I can' and can't eat. I know the basics, of healthy eating, but I need some guidelines. Plus, doesn't it just make you just plain angry? So much is involved in this, even things like sunbathing, which I love to do,…

Eating enough
I am supposed to be eating according to my TDEE about 2600. I can't seem to do that. Most days I am around 1800. Is that harmful? What can I do?

Eat The Food VS EMTWL?
Just read Amber Evangeline Rogers book "Taking Up Space" over the weekend and now I am more sold on the idea of eating this way then ever. My question is this the same as EMTWL? Or different principles. I am going to be (and am) inthe healing phase and will be doing no workouts for a few weeks due to that and the fact that…

Taking up Space, have you all read it?
I read this book this weekend. I loved it. Totally makes sense. I am wondering about tracking calories. Some people think it is too obsessive. like the scale can be. I don't know, am considering trying without, to break the "diet" mindset, but I want some input.
