Diabetic anyone?

My diligence is paying off. Still without meds, but with diet & exercise, I now have a fasting blood sugar of 98 average. I gained a small turkey, then lost a big turkey in the last 20 days (gained 10 because of water bleeding into my cells, and then lost 15 once I learned how to add the right electrolytes into my water intake).

Holly I havent thought about that part cause I have put on 2 1/2 pounds since I got back from the pool tournament.I also am a tad off the food plan with a little more fruit(apples) than I usely eat plus a couple of oatmeal raisin cookies over the last fue days.You would think in Vegas I wouldnt have a problem keeping on the plan but it was harder than I thought it would be as meals were catch as I could because of haveing to be at the tournament room most of the time so what I got was at the vendors so there wasnt many good choices.There was avendor that opened up on the last three days that had salad and fruit so I ate there a lot,one day I had salad for breakfast cause the only other thing was muffins,sweet rolls and such.When I did manage to get to a buffet the choices were a lot better but it was still not easy or maybe I didnt look hard enough but I shure tryed.

Hey all!

I was recently diagnosed with type 2. I've been counting my carbs for only about a week or so, but I swear I already feel better. I didn't even realize how constantly awful I was feeling, as it'd become normal.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I saw the term "diabadass" on another site. So hey there, fellow diabadasses!

I pulled a stupid thing yesterday,I made a sweet potato pie,the last one I made I used splenda instead of sugar,well I didn't have any splenda so I went with regular sugar.The pie is as good as I ever made,the problem is even having a small slice will trip me into light headedness with some upset stomach to go with it.I though it may have been because I had eaten so many carbs with dinner I had an hour before,this after noon I ate another thin slice and the same thing happened.I can eat a candy bar and this wont happen but this sugar in the pie made me feel like crap.I swear I wont use regular white sugar in anything I eat ever again,when this happened again I drank lots of water to hope to flush it out or at least thin the effects with water.This is the first time I ever had a reaction like this

Ugh, that's crummy, Rockinonahigh. :/ My mom's like that. (She's T2 too.) Some things are totally fine for her, other things send her blood sugar skyrocketing.

Interesting thread. My best friend informed me over the weekend she's been diagnosed as diabetic (low range) T2. She obviously not happy about it, but determined to reverse it. And I am sure she will. I'll help anyway I can (even remotely)

She's been monitoring her nutrition for awhile and exercising just over a month ago so this was a surprise. My step mom is also T2 diabetic and her health has improved.

Very happy to see the progress many of you are making. Nutrition is paramount along with exercise and the appropriate type of exercise - work those muscles.

Congrats to you all on your perseverance.

Exercise is the big key for me,I do have a sweet tooth but it runs to fancy pastries plus some down right trashy candy,I don't eat bananas much anymore
more because of the high carb count.I get gala apples that are a bit smaller than a closed fist that satisfy my craving for something crunchy + sweet now it's really fine with peanut butter or sharp cheddar cheese goes really well with it.Eating healthy meals isn't a problem as I always eat healthy but it's desert and something to hold me till the next meal is where the junk food comes in.Raw veggies has helped to change that issue,but I do really miss eating a four pack of peanut butter cups with a root beer.
