In reply to: Lynn Franko posted an update in the group Diabesity / Diabetes On my way out to dinner today with family. I have researched the menu and come up with a plan for what to eat today.i am beginning prep week one. Wish me luck!!! ViewIt went ok. I was able to order salmon and roasted asparagus. I did have a small amt. of brown rice-about a teaspoonful. But because we wear eating a little early for dinner I ended with low sugar.

Hi Cathy, what specifically have you enjoyed the most in the changes you have experienced? I am on week 1 on teh prep weeks and so far I’m not really feeling it. I want to know when I can expect a breakthrough in energy, etc. Thanks and all the best.

I think that’s great that you researched the menu in advance. I did the same thing with a new local restaurant when I met a friend for lunch last weekend. It really helped me to know in advance that there were a couple of things I could order. How did it go for you?

If you are concerned about your blood sugar levels dropping be sure to see your doctor and discuss that. They can tell you what to do in advance if your readings get too low. Margaret

I hope your doctor–or a nutritionist that she or he recommends–will help you adjust the meds according to the food you are eating–not wait until you get “lows” from a low carb diet. I’ve had so many “lows” in the past, as a (formerly) insulin dependent diabetic. “Lows” are the worst feeling ever. I feel that they also contribute…[Read more]

Hi Lynn- Sounds like you are off to a great start! Yes – work with your Dr. absolutely. I experienced low BG in the 40’s around week 2 and it was scary – my Dr. was very supportive and responsive. Keep us posted on your progress! -Cathy Wk 10 Day 2
