Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Do you have a regular MD that
is treating your Diabetes?
You should report these very
high blood sugars to your Dr.
ASAP. You need your diabetic
meds. and insulin adjusted.
Your Dr. needs to send you
to a Diabetic Educator to
help you with a good eating
plan for you. You must not
let this go on, it's very
dangerous. Shell48

I agree with Shell48. Sugars that high are very dangerous! A diabetic educator can show you how to gain control and keep control of your sugar levels. Doctors don't always have the time for this kind of training. It takes some time, but once you have control it becomes routine to keep it where it belongs. Remember diabetes is with you for life, so you may as well get used to each other.

My dietician told me to eat at least 40-60 carbs per meal..... good carbs, not bad ones.

I agree with everyone to get checked out. I've been counting carbs and calories as part of a weight reduction plan my doctor put me on. I can usually eat 2-4 carbs per meal, just depends what I'm having. I read labels and stuff. I was told one carbohydrate was 15 grams. I hope you can check out the diabetic clinic like you mentioned. Let us know what happens. I have you in my thoughts.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
