My PCP put me back on it Friday, she said that my numbers were not that high but given my history and family members having heart disease she doesn't want me to take chances, also I am on 1,000mcg of Vit B12, if my B12 doesn't go up in a month I'll be doing shots. My intestines are really messing things up.
I do not eat red meats - as for cheese it has only been Swiss Cheese but I am not going to buy any more after this week. I am not allowed beans on my current food plan so it is more green leaves for me as well.View Thread

Den not having a car doesn't make one gain weight. I don't have a car haven't for 2 years now and I haven't gained weight. Eating the wrong food is what makes a person gain weight. Keep walking and riding your bike.
Your left leg has been bothering you for some time haven't you gone to the Dr. for that? As for your eyes when did you have an eye examine? They say if you are diabetic you need to have your eyes looked at once a year, do you do that?View Thread

I currently use "Sugar in the Raw" 1 tsp = 4grms carbs in 12oz of coffee and that doesn't raise my sugars at all.View Thread

I do watch my intake very carefully I have to limit my carbs to no more than 25 at any given time I am doing okay with my carbs I think because my A1c is good.
I am guessing a lot of my lipid problems is genetic as it does run in my family at least 4 generations that I know of - heart disease as well that is why I am trying very hard to control this with diet the best way that I can. Thanks for your help, DebView Thread

I stay away from canned foods. I do as much natural as I can/afford.View Thread


I am not on diabetic meds or blood pressure meds and I just found out I am on the lower side of B12, Folate and D3.
I do know that I have a sun sensitivity and can't get the D from the sun so I am on 2,000mg a day and still low.View Thread

All my life I did not eat red meats - I only ate turkey breast, chicken breast, fish and salmon. I still eat these with my current diet.
I use canola oil because I am allergic to olive oil. I can't do nuts because allergies. I eat a lot of veggies and limited amounts of fruit. I eat egg beaters.
My Cardiologist took me off my Lovastatin and Zetia in Dec. because my Choles. in June was excellent -
Total was 149, Trigs. 88, HDL 71, LDL 60, Ratio 1.08. Non-HDL 78. He said keep eating what I have been and we will retest, so they did.
Total was 216, Trigs. 116, HDL 55, LDL 138, Ratio 3.9 Non-HDL 161.
I have been eating avocados daily and 0% fat yogurt can that be affecting my numbers?
Thanks to my intestinal problems I can not have fiber, wheat, gluten, no nuts, seeds, beans and a host of other good things we are suppose to eat when we are diabetic. That number is now 5.5%.
I don't get it - I eat to live and still the numbers don't lie. Because of my diet changes recently (3 months) I now have lower B12, D3 and Folate. Any suggestions?View Thread

I currently use Sugar in the Raw which doesn't raise my sugars at all and it is all natural.
Nectresse is suppose to be more sweeter than sugar so you use less.
I can not tolerate any artificial sugars because it irritates my stomach so this one sounds promising, it is also suppose to be good for diabetics.View Thread

If you have the shot remember it will only raise your sugars temporary for a few days then it will go back to your normal. I hope all goes well. DebView Thread
