This is Day Four of my diet. So far, I’ve eaten 30% fruit, 35% vegetables, 25% protein, and 10% potatoes (the potatoes are pulled out of the vegetable category because they are the only source of lasting carbs I eat). No vinegar, no fructose, no dairy products (oh man, I miss my milk and chocolate shakes!), no flour, no yeast, and many other no’s.

 

Day One wasn’t so bad. I didn’t eat a whole lot, but I didn’t feel all that hungry. My blood sugars were a little above normal. I averaged at 168.

I decided to try the bioidentical hormone treatment. After reading books, studies and general information, I feel that I made an educated decision. I went to a seminar and personally talked to the doctor who founded the clinic. I spent hours on the web looking through positive and negative feedback from research studies, personal stories and major medical journals. And I used my brain.

I was planning on writing a weekly diet update, but I never did get around to it. Now, I'm at the semi-end of the diet so it's kind of pointless. But I’ll throw my thoughts out there anyway.

 

The first two weeks went alright. I had many, many lows but finally I got my basals and work outs adjusted so that I was having a normal amount of lows for my body. The third week, I hit a major bump in the road.

 

If you remember, my blood sugars started doing crazy things. The diet stayed the same roughly and I kept increasing my basals. Nothing changed.

Now that I no longer have to fret about my diabetes, I have a new worry: What if I gave it to my son?

 

I have to assume that is a pretty common worry among mothers (and fathers) with diabetes. Did my son inherit my faulty diabetes gene along with my ticklish feet?

 

On the Diabetic Mommy support group I belong to, it is very common for moms to start freaking out that their child may have diabetes. He's drinking too much, he's peeing too much, he falls asleep after meals, etc. With these worries, a mom will then test her child, usually at the exact wrong moment, like when he has juice all over his fingers or just ate a big bowl of cornflakes, to get a higher than normal reading. Usually anything over 100 will do a sufficient job of bringing a diabetic mom to a full panic.

I walked into my local Whole Foods Body store with the best of intentions. I wanted just one item. I didn't know what brand to buy, but I had a general idea of what I was looking for. When the salesperson said the magic words, "What can I help you find today," I should have run far away. Instead, we started a dialog that left me leaving the store with a full bag and an empty wallet. (READ MORE)

My grandmother once told me that she'd be happy if she never had to eat again, that if she could just take a pill four nourishment instead of eating she'd be fine.
I, frankly, thought she was nuts. I love to eat. The textures, the tastes. There's something so intoxicating about food, especially the ones I'm not supposed to eat. Maybe it's more a case of the forbidden fruit.
Nevertheless, I've started thinking lately that my grandmother (who is also type 2) has the right idea. If I could just lose the desire to eat nonstop I'd be in good shape. If I had to essentially force myself to eat I think I could make healthier food choices more often. Or, more likely, not eat as often. (READ MORE)
