[QUOTE="TERRENCE H, post: 68383, member: 15470"] Thanks for that Vince. I am not really having too many questions about the diabetes part of my situation. I have that pretty well controlled with diet control. I have been limiting my carbs for the most part to vegetables. I typically eat about 3-6 oz of chicken breast usually or some other kind of meat with about 1/2 cup or so of usually mixed vegetables and a salad at each meal. I may snack on something like carrots, apples, or some ham slices I often carry in between. my glucose readings for all events are about 119.8 for this week, 123.2 for the last month and 125.9 for the last 3 months. I am down about 7 lbs in the last two weeks since I got really picky about the diet stuff. like I said before I will have a free for all food day for one meal, once a week. the rest of the time I keep what I eat fairly steady without a lot of variations. This has always worked for me in the past. another 10-15 lbs and I will probably no longer need to use insulin regularly. when I did that before I pretty much stayed in the green zone on glucose all the time as long as I did not eat stuff that I know will cause a spike. I know that is coming because a few times in the last month I have had to seek out something to raise my glucose as it would drop low (below 80) which is not a big deal for me but below 70 and I start having symptoms that I do not like. I am hoping to get my weight down to about 210 which I have not seen in a long time. 26 lbs to go as of this morning. Wish me luck. Terrence [/QUOTE]
