Since becoming a "Weight Watcher," I have noticed the amount of stress in my life has increased. Having diabetes means I carry around a bunch of stuff with me where ever I go. I have my Glucose testing machine, strips, lancets, glucose tabs, and not to mention my carb counting book.

And now I have to add my Dining Out Guide which gives me the point values to restaurant food, my sliding scale for figuring point values, my tracker which I log my points in, and the Food Guide that has point values for all kinds of foods. So you see, I have more stuff to remember these days then I did before.


I have also noticed that since counting Points has been a major focus, my blood sugars have been higher. I will eat a Lean Cuisine with a bunch of carbs and not a bunch of points instead of the other way around. The carb count is coming in second place lately.



Maybe I should have my brand new doctor give me a total number of carbohydrates I am allowed eat each day so I can cut that number down? I have no clue.


How many of you are on Weight Watchers that can help me with this dilemma? What do you suggest or what do you do? Do Carbs or Points win?
