Twice a Twice a day is really ok for me as well. Although I need a little snack at lunch. I can't seem to get to a point where I'll eat my main meal earlier, like 2, then just a light one about 6 ;)

Thank you for the encouragement, I'm hell-bent on getting my diet right ;) Just took your recipe for Almond bread and found an easy video to follow. Feedback welcome! I love to bake, and cook so I am happy to find recipes and appreciate you getting me started. I don't like cookbooks because...

Just did my "before lunch" stick, and got an 89 this time! I am hoping that is showing some progress. I have been on the Meformin, switch today to the Extended release. Had a non-carb breakfast, nice and filling too. I know these skin-sticks are just ballpark, but mine were so far, since...

I just called my Pharmacy to check about this and he assured me they dealt with that some time ago. I had just got this type yesterday and nervous enough about taking it as the other made me cramp up so bad for hours, from about 3pm on. I have no idea how I landed on the FDA site that listed...

Hi Andy, thanks for this. I am nervous and confused but I did go yesterday and get the time-released. My tests are sort of all over the place and I'm testing first in the a.m., before meal, and 2 hours later. I can't say I'm right on time, I feel torn about the meds. I don't want to go...

Yes, do start a thread Liz! You'll get lots of individual help that way. I look forward to getting to know you and hope I can be of help too. I'm still learning myself but be glad to share, Denise

That was the worst they've effected me lastnight. No more. No time released either. I'm going to try, at least for a few days, without and just hope and pray I have the food thing down. I did not eat any carbs yesterday, except what is in carrots, celery, brussell sprouts, etc. Had no...

I googled just that earlier!! I was happy to see there are such things, but I love you giving me a recipe because the ones I saw like Dave's I think is one brand, are very expensive. Then some I saw on Amazon don't even deliver to my area, so thank you soooo much ;) I like to bake, and we do...

Yes, and some is hidden from us or the labels are so tiny. I'm trying to go with just fresh or frozen vegies (I roast them in the oven and they are way good that way) and meats/fish (mostly fish if possible to get it). We'll make it, and I sure am glad we both found this forum. So many have...

I am so frustrated, the Pharmacy has the same Meformin that's given me the worst gut ache today, bloating and cramping. The only difference it is time-realeased Glucophage. He said to take it half hour before Dinner, and it says on the bottle just take with dinner. I hate drugs, nothing ever...

I actually forgot, but it's not unusual for my cholestrol to be off the charts, imo. It was 330 total in whole numbers. I tried to use your link but having brain fog I guess. Anyway, it's bad "genetically" the nurse says but I brought it down into the 200s with diet back a few years. I just...

Thank you MrsA2, I may check the group out but I'm spread pretty thin for time. I stocked up on all the good foods I could buy (fresh except to cans of Black Olives). Now I am going to rest after my last test which came out at 110 this time 2 hrs after lunch. I think I'll nap, been have a bit...

Thank you Andy, my previous meal (breakfast) had zero carbs but yesterday I had crackers, toast etc. so it must have been from then. I just see how glad I was to have the non-carbs to grab so quick, especially the meat and cheese. I just went shopping and bought regular yogurt because I...

I think I just had a major sugar withdrawal. I got so hungry I was shaking but I went for the leftover meat in the fridge, cheese, celery, carrot and Humus. The hummus was the only thing with any carbs, 5g per helping. I'm sure that's what it was because I am use to having my toast with...

I'm a happy camper, not going to starve, lol ;) Love that my fave vegies are on that list I got on the American Diabetes Association (if they can be trusted ;) )

I just tested a bit past 2 hours after breakfast of eggs and Havarti cheese, and got 100 which I think is a good one for the mg/dl?? I will get the hang of this way better! I even placed the lance better so it didn't hardly hurt at all!! More fatty side of my finger :) PS Drinking lots of...

oh I'm so happy if this is true @HSSS This list has ALL my faves on it!! It's on the ADA site so I so hope they are right on!

I'm getting ready for the market here so I will look up non-starchy vegies and get some if I don't have them in my fridge already. Thanks for the info, so helpful, especially for my grocery list. How about beans @HSSS I was almost vegetarian but couldn't handle anymore beans! So I started...

Hi Liz, I so hear you, I just arrived I think, 2 days ago. I'm so glad we both found the site, it's priceless what I am learning here. I was afraid too, and still am but what a relief to hear hope and see a light at the end of the tunnel. I will leave directions to others that have gone...

Yes, you helped a lot with your explanations @bulkbiker I especially appreciate that 36 mg/dl! Dang, how do I get to there! I know, 1 day at a time ;) Thanks so much
