Doctor Appointment
She mentioned maybe adding Actos at my next appointment in a month. I came home and read about Actos and I'm not sure I want to be on that. I have high blood pressure and have had irregular heartbeats (PVCs) and with the black box warning I'm not sure if I want to take Actos. I'll have to discus… Continue

Finally!
I have a follow-up appointment with my Dr. on Monday so I guess I'll see what she has to say then.
I'm looking forward to my appointment with that dietician on the 30th. Hopefully I'll get a better handle on what to eat then.
Argh!
My numbers have showed improvement, but not the kind of improvement I was hoping for. I've got to go to the dr. on Friday for a follow-up so hopefully we can work something out then.
And I don't understand. My dad is a type 2 and he can eat anything he wants and still have great numbers and A1Cs un… Continue

It take time. Diet and Exercise are extremely important for control. Moderate your carbs. Not necessarily low. A dietician should be able to tell you how many carbs per meal. And exercise daily. I read an article where exercise alone has a great deal of inflluence on control of blood glucose levels. Ask your Dr. what would be a good plan for exercise. Belileve me, from experience I have been able to control my
diabetes by Diet and Exercise alone. Remember:
"Either you control diatetes or it controls you"
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Start out with a Diabetic Educator and Dietician to get you on the right track
I'm glad you are concerned about your high BG. You should be. In three years of having high BG, I developed enough plaque in my arteries that lead to a heart attack.
Take care of your BG, get it lowered. Believe me, the alternative is not pleasant.
Not a day goes by that I dont wish I took care of my BG.
Best of luck and please let me know if there is anything I can do. :)
