My name is Carole and I have Type 2 diabetes

[imagood1]

I was a little high this morning when I took my reading, but I had already drank a cup of coffee w/splenda and that usually raises it a little.

Anyway :

Fasting - 115
3:30 - 72

[imagood1]

fasting 116
evening 83

I had a 2 egg scramble with 2 pieces of bacon, 1 oz of green pepper and 1/2 oz of onion with cheddar cheese and salsa on top for breakfast.

Lunch was a Chicken Caesar salad (no croutons) with 1 TBSP Caesar dressing (order the dressing on the side & dip into it instead of putting the dressing on the salad) and water. Only ate 1/2 of the salad so I brought it home.

Dinner was meatloaf (pork rinds as the binder), the rest of my salad and fresh green beans.

I ate 5 tiny grape tomatoes out of the garden today -- they were YUMMIE!!


Hope you had a great day.

I'm back at it again. Had a rotten weekend, was in a car accident on Friday and didn't get home from the hospital until Saturday mid afternoon. I spent most of the rest of the weekend in bed sleeping and not eating right. I have a slight concussion, stitches in my head and various bumps and bruises - nothing life shattering but enough that it took me down a couple pegs!

I got on the scale this morning and was not happy -- I'm back to 190 and know I'm nowhere nead keotsis so I'm back on induction until I get back into keotsis. I ate 18 carbs today and feel real good. I'm hoping it doesn't take long to get back to normal.

This is the first day I've felt in control again -- I don't like being off plan -- I need control!

My numbers were up today -- indicating I wasn't eating properly over the weekend:

fasting: 120
evening: 81

Hi Carole, hope you are feeling better - I'm sure being back on plan will help Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Hi Carole, Sorry for your misfortune and very happy that you are home. Life can change pretty quickly and I'm glad that you are almost back to normal. I am reading your thread from the first page. It seems that you have helped and been helped by many.

Prayers for your complete recovery.

Well thank GOD your gonna be okay! What I wouldn't give to weight 190! I'm still fighting candida... lost 27 lbs so far... but I'm vacilating back and forth from 120 to 121 right now. I'm in Colorado Springs for 2 wks... got here yesterday... thinking of looking for an MD and getting some Nystatin and a round of Difucan!

[imagood1]

The last time I was in Colorado Springs it was for a dedication for my uncle at the Air Base. That was a good day.

Hope you can find a doctor to help.

My sugar levels are still higher than I'd like them -- this morning I was 122 -- they should be closer to 100 - so I know I'm not in keotsis yet. Hopefully in a day or two I'll be back to normal.

I had an omelet for breakfast (2 eggs, 1oz colored peppers, 1oz cheddar cheese w/ 1Tbsp salsa on top); lunch was a salad with chicken on top. dinner was: ribeye steak w/1pat of butter on top, grilled veggies (yellow squash, snow peas and broccoli) and 6 grilled shrimp. (We ate at Outback).

I'll get on the scale Monday to see what I've managed to get done this week and see if I can get back up the rungs.

My sugar this morning was 121, this is pretty normal for me although I would like it to be lower. My night sugar is almost always low and sometimes to low. 47-90. This makes me nervous and I tend to look for something to bring it up to 100-110 before I take my insulin. (1 teaspoon of peanut butter or a small glass of tomato juice will do it) My weight does not change and I have not gained or loss a pound in more than a month. My breakfast is either 1 small slice of ham and 2 fried eggs or bacon. Lunch is either tuna or salmon with celery made with mayo and chopped celery and a piece of onion, cole slaw with mayo and a touch vinegar. Most days I try to get in a salad but I am on warfarin and can not eat to many green things. Dinner last night was 4 oz turkey and 1 cup of cauliflower. At night I had a 2 egg shake with about 1.5 ounces of heavy cream, a splash of vanilla. I have started to use Stevia instead of splenda. Most of the time I only have 2 splenda a day. I treat myself to 1 cup a tea a day. No diet soda at all and I am faithful to the water challenge.

I have lost inches and my clothes are looser but I can't get the scale to move. Yuk!
