My BGs Have you been counting calories? You could be eating too many of them even if you are low carb. How much is 'much weight' and how fast are you expecting to lose it, your expectations could be unrealistic. The more you have to lose the more you would lose at the beginning. -- No Husband Has Ever Been Shot While Doing The Dishes
The weight loss and diabetes group I have been with started by watching primarily calories and fat. Limit of 1500 calories and 30 gr fat a day and start with 30 minutes of exercise a day. I started at 320 pounds and got down to 270 in a matter of a few weeks. It's amazing to see how much fat I was consuming.

I am eating ALOT of cheese and higher fat foods (peanut butter, mayo, etc) at the same time doubling my intake of fresh veggies from the garden in order to fill me up. I'll start trying to count calories and see. So, what about Niacin- does it make BGs more reactive? I've just changed to the insitol hexa form of Niacin. Will increasing the Metformin and decreasing Glyburide help me drop more weight? I'm constantly hungry without carbs to fill me up so can't imagine cutting back the calories much more. Raleighgirl

Be sure you discuss with your doctor any changes you want to make. I'm pretty sure I am eating way more than double the amounts of low carb veggies as I was before. Way, way more. ex. With a steak dinner I would eat a large baked potato and maybe a small salad or small amount of canned veggie, maybe low carb, maybe not. Now I eat a large salad and another low carb veggie and only part of the steak because I am getting full. -- No Husband Has Ever Been Shot While Doing The Dishes 1 2 Next » Related Discussion: Re: New to Diabetes--please help (2 posts) See the miracles !!!!
