Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / June 2006my meter came today
So I can do this starting tomorrow. I guess I will do 5 tests after the standard american diet meal, (in addition to the FBG one in the morning), at: 1/2 hour. 1 hour. 2 hours, 2 1/2 hours and 3 hours. I saw that in one of my books. Then I will repeat the procedure the next day. I hope that's not too soon to get an accurate idea. Now, what kind of starch to choose....hmm....this is important since now I have to give them up. Maybe I will have something Thai, something with protein, veggies, and ....Ladna noodles. That's my favorite starch of all. Tracy > So I can do this starting tomorrow.

The Ladna noodles sound like a good choice : ) With a non-fatty meal like that, you can stop testing once your bg has returned to somewhere close to your starting figure. Ah! You need a pre-meal test, unless you're planning on noodles for breakfast? The 2 1/2 hr test is a bit overkill, you're likely not going to be changing very fast by then. Good luck. I never know what to wish people in your situation - but I guess knowing the truth is pretty priceless, whatever it turns out to be. Nicky.

I hope > that's not too soon to get an accurate idea. you are testing 5 times after each meal? how many meals will you be eating? will you be eating inbetween those meals? thats a lota pin holes. i guess to each their own. i am glad things worked out the way they did for me. > Now, what kind of starch to choose....hmm....this > is important since now I have to give them up. i would rather walk around the block a few times then give up my whole grains. the more food is proccessed the more of the good stuff it loses. when im looking to eat healthy - its straight up whole grains, not bread or processed noodles. I am not saying dont eat your noodle.. just talking a little. Tom > you are testing 5 times after each meal? No, this is the first time I've done this ever. I'll do it first thing in the morning, then eat the meal with noodles, then start the major testing. I'm already eating low carb now, so I have to go off it for this test. > how many meals will you be eating? One like this per day for two days. > i would rather walk around the block a few times then give up my > whole grains. I already know I can't do whole grains. At least for the time being. And yes I'm exercising. > the more food is proccessed the more of the good stuff it loses. > when im looking to eat healthy - its straight up whole grains, not bread or > processed noodles. > I am not saying dont eat your noodle.. just talking a little. Well it sure beats that 5 hour blood glucose tolerance test with the nasty sugar drink.

At least for the > time being. And yes I'm exercising. what kind of exercise? do you know you are diabetic? or is this all to see if you are diabetic. i am guessing if you say that you cant do whole grains its because you are diabetic. anyway.. im glad i didnt have to give them up. im about to have grilled chicken, beans, carrots,b >> the more food is proccessed the more of the good stuff it loses. >> when im looking to eat healthy - its straight up whole grains, not bread [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Tracy true > what kind of exercise? bicycling, weights, rowing. > do you know you are diabetic? or is this all to see if you are diabetic. To see if I am. Tracy > So I can do this starting tomorrow.

Come on now.... that's Lotsa noodles ;-) -Sax > So I can do this starting tomorrow.

I would assume that might differ depending on the particular type of meal, but after a few days of frequent testing you may see a pattern here. > So I can do this starting tomorrow.

Knowledge is power, or at least extremely useful. ;-) Just make yourself your own little "laboratory of me" and find some stuff out. That's the way to go. Good luck, and happy learning! Priscilla Thanks Ray and Priscilla :). |
