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...
my numbers have been real good for the past 3 months they range from 98 to 138

the last fue days I have been nibbling on some homemade Christmas toffee but I notest the sharp pain in my feet tonite amd I was wondering if its cause I ate sugar candy my numbers tonite were 136.

It is really hard during the holiday season to be good all the time. I have cheated a bit, but I usually give up some other carb to do so. However, it was my birthday last week and my numbers had been really good too.....so I gave nothing up, but just ate a really small amount (a few tablespoons of one thing and a quarter cup of another lol)....i got really lucky and my numbers were unaffected :)
perhaps ou can get away with very small portions is the way to go over the holidays.
I am one of the lucky ppl that candy, cookies, and various treats are not my thing. I'm more of a pasta, mashed potato and gravy, rolls and butter, pizza type junkie LOL. I miss my old carb buddies, but I have found other things more important....but that is just me.
Keep up the good job and keep in mind that your good numbers are from your hard work. I hope your feet issue clears up.
