Sue

just a thought maybe you need to increase your fats and take out complex carbs completely

so instead of a wrap have the bit in the middle with a drizzle of olive oil on it

I have never had a 20 thank God and hope never to have my body is bad enough when I am in an 8 or above so would hate to think how I would feel in 20s

just must feel dreaded

xoxox

 

[blackcat79]

Well i cant up my fats due to no gallbladder. I had it removed Dec 09 due to big bad stones ouch i tell u! Im back at clinic on Friday for review with hope to got on injectiond of some sort. Highest ive had it 27.5! Now that awful! I only eat 130mg ish carbs a day n 1250 cals but the weight still doesnt fall off :-(. Only time bloods get to around 7-8 is at work when im busy n havent eaten for 4/5 hrs. I have had lows of 4.4 n 3.9 but only onfe of each and again at work.

Hi Sue

ahh the old gallbladder problem they wanted mine this year and I was like no thanks kinda attached will put up with the pain as long as I can am so grateful avoided it sorry you didnt manage too

ahh lets hope that you can get the right balance as mayb you arent eating enough mayb go for healthy fats like oily fish and nuts (dont know much about eating without gallbladder so ignore if you know thats not sensible in that respect)

baby steps

cant imagine highs like that

how long do you leave between eating?

I was told to snack but its only since I have stopped snacking and do three meals my sugars are coming under control I think the constant two hrly snacking was keeping me at a constant but too high for me was hitting teens at night and tens in days now mostly in six and sevens so couple months have paid off and hoping the continuation will continue to do so

xoxox

 

[blackcat79]

Well i couldnt not have it out i was in n out of hospital 5 times in 4.5 months so no choice in the matter. I do eat fats from fish but my body cant absorb it right so goes through me. Dont like nuts never have. I stick to low fats n supplements of fish oils. I find it hard to snack at work due to shift. So brekky 8am snack at 10.40 if lucky snack at 1.45pm then tea at 6pm. Mayb a snack in evening. That my week day routinue wkends r different i get 3 meals with odd snack here n there. I dont get hunergy anymore as think stomach use to small portions n less carbs more protein etc yet bloods dont go down. Ive just spend 1.5 hoovering pre Blood after brekky 15.5 now 11.5. Crazy as it was hard work! Lol just had tests done but i think it looks like im type 2 but will end up on injections as 3 meds dont really work for me n cause me great psin in chest stomach n bowels due to other health issuess ie no gallbladder n a hitius hernia.
