I am a diabetic, have been for six years.Up until about 2 years ago I have been controled with diet only. For the past two years I have been taking meds and fighting my blood sugar. I started on glucophage, worked well for a while then my sugar started climbing up. SO we added Beata (Spelling). I was only on that for a while because I had some problems but think I may want to try it again. After that I was on Glocavance but that bottomed out my blood sugar.
What I really need is advice on dieting because I am obviously not doing that well. I have tried every diet known to man. I have never been able to keep weight off. I also need and exercise plan that I can work with. What works for you? Maybe it can help me.
Thank you
I have been recently diagnosed, and having sugar levels controled with diet quite easily. I just changed my eating times and kept from overloading on carbs at a meal, and actually lost 20 lbs. ( went from 225 down to 205 ).
One site that I think is pretty good is www.ediets.com They do have a monthly charge, several diet options, and an exercise program. They also have fitness and nutrition people you can ask questions. One of their diets is "Living With Diabetes" which complies with current American Heart and American Diabetes guidelines. They have you weigh in weekly, and will let you adjust calories up or down depending if you are gaining weight, losing weight too fast, or just staying the same. They do have a place where you can except certain foods that you can't stand or are allergic too.
They have support blogs and such on the site, and what is good is they combine both the exercise and diets in one place. They show you how to exercise with the equipment you have, so you don't have to buy anything if you don't want to.
