This is trickier than I thought. I figured oh yeah, I can tackle this, no problem. I will have it licked and go on with my life the way I was before but minus the burgers and chips. Taking the meds is easy.. having to keep track of not just my sugar but everything else I eat and drink is starting to seem like a never ending bad story. Sure I will feel better about it tomorrow.

Just diagnosed with Diabetes. Its such a relief to be feeling better. Such a weight has been lifted. Hard to stay eating right and at the same times. I can do it :)

117 after my afternoon snack but still high in the mornings.

That is the Average for the day. Taking my meds and trying to stay on a low carb, low sugar, low fat diet.

Hopefully when I get the BGL under control soon. Still spiking, but it is not as high as when I was diagnosed. Feeling a lot better now. Yeah :)

First time below my range in the last 3 weeks. Just found out 3 weeks ago that I was Type 2. I was around 270 mg/dL when I was diagnosed.

By moiselleg on May 24, 2012 at 02:30 PM

I control mine with diet and exercise. It does keep creeping up though but so far I have put off taking meds for my type 2 for 10 years that way. Hang in there.

120 after lunch. I can't ride my bike at all so far this week weather here is too cold. I guess I need to invest in some cold weather gear. My husband will have a fit though. Oh well

I'm a beginner. My glucose is high...started dieting on Thursday and tracking on Friday. How many days until it should be significantly lower?

By jexe on January 30, 2012 at 12:51 AM

I'm a beginner as well...it took me a full week to see a marked drop in my glucose. My goal is to be between 90 and 120 before meals. This second week, I've been there with only a few exceptions.
