The last three readings on my BS were 114, 122, 115. Pretty good; however, I lost my testing kit while on a retreat. I have ordered another one, but have no idea how I am doing today.

Hi Conrad!
It sounds like you are doing great! You're making a lot of really healthy changes and have been for 10 years. I don't know if you're doctor ever told you, but Type II diabetes gets harder and harder to control the longer you have it. It's not all about will power. Rather, the pancreas just starts puttering out. That's why everybody with DMII ends up on insulin, if they live long enough. So keep doing what you are doing, but if it turns out that they need to adjust your medication, then don't take it as a sign of failure. It's the disease! Reba |

I agree with RebaLina, Conrad. Sounds to me as though you're doing significantly better at eating as you know you must.
I don't know how it is for diabetics, but I know that when I strictly avoid foods to which I'm intolerant, I feel soooooo much better. However, I have to be almost slavishly consistent with my diet to feel good most of the time. You're welcome to borrow my motto (credit to Carol Fenster, author of gluten-free cookbooks): "Nothing tastes as good as feeling good feels." Most of the time (admittedly), that works well for me since, as you mentioned, I also know from experience that I CAN maintain my diet strictly and that I feel substantially better when I do. |

Shihulud: in response to your post # 18, before you try to correct Karma, you might try to get to know him. When you do, you'll find out that he gives the best help he is able to give, and that's all you can ask from anyone.
Conrad: are your blood sugar levels fasting or non- fasting? My doctor gave me ranges for both. Also, losing weight will help bring your sugar levels down. And God WILL help you, but you have to do your part. Remember: "Phil 4:13-14 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. |

Karma, vegeterianism isn't so bad if you have a good cookbook, and understand some principles of vegetarian nutrition. Do you do your own cooking?
