Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.
PS: You can still have the cookies and M&Ms Peanut Butter, but just in moderation. Use them, sparingly, as treats. |
Thanks Danny, I have been/will be looking over the other threads to gather as much information as I can. At this point, most of my questions are "did the doctor say to..." type questions which I actually need to address to her. Not a problem, I can just email her.
And you are right about the life-style changes... it really is just that! One of the things I am finding that works for me is taking down everything that I eat. If it hasn't been scanned or typed into myfitnesspal I don't eat it. Even though my son pooh-poohs the idea of doing it, it works for me and keeps me on track, and that is what is important. We each choose the tools that work for us - good thing there are a bunch of them. If GB had the ability to track and database to go with it, I would be in 7th heaven. But it doesn't so I use both apps. GB is the best of the diabetes trackers that I have found, and believe me, for a while I was using 4 of them just to see which I like better. GB won out hands down.
As for the cookies and the M&Ms... I should be able to eat them in moderation... but I know me, and I know my body... one cookie would lead to two, three, a dozen, maybe even 2 dozen.... and one or two M&Ms would lead to a bag or five... so I will stay away from them for a while... since this is a want rather than a need, it's a little easier to resist. <><
