Focus and motivation
I wish I knew how to keep these two components at a high level. Although this is my first post, or even visit to the site, I've been tracking BG for about a year. I was doing reasonably well averaging in the 110 range but with a lot of meds. Lately I went back to the gym three times a week. My levels have suddenly begun spiking in the 140-170 range but leveling in the 110 range when I space my meals further. Bottom line, food intake is critical period. Exercise will accelerate positive outcomes, but it's secondary. I appreciate the input above regarding 60g of carbs/day. I had forgotten much of what I learned in seminars on diabetes. As of this morning I'm recommitting myself to managing my carb intake and working off my rather pronounced spare tire. I'm fed up with this med and lifestyle debacle. Thanks to all for the input and opinions. I will visit often as I feel that reading these entries are helpful in maintaining the elusive focus and motivation I do need to get this done.
