I just love your user name!
My name is Connie; I am also a Type 2 diabetic, diagnosed in March this year. I take Glucophage XR, two pills every night. On the advice of a diabetic educator, I have been limiting carbs to no more that 60 grams at each meal and 30 grams for snacks. I work the night shift which makes meal and snacktimes a little tricky.
About snacks - I am supposed to limit myself to 30 grams of carbs for snacks, and I try to make these healthy carbs (fruit, peanut butter, protein). What kind of problems are you having - are you eating too many, eating the wrong kinds, eating too close to bedtime?. I have recently been trying to space them out during the day - 15 grams in the morning and 15 grams in the evening. That way you don't go to bed with all those unused carbs.
VENETIA - I hope your son's surgery goes well today. As far as my dad and stepmother, well, I can't decide for her, she has her own children, but I know that this is an option that daddy and his wife won't consider. He lives in her home and she's not about to leave it.
LINDA - missing you lots; please hurry back.
ALI - congrats on your weight loss
; I'm so glad you found a program that works for you. I'm sure you are feeling much better.
I have been off my program for since my surgery and I have promised myself that today is a new beginning and I am going to get back on track.
See you all later.
