http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/351/subjects/1584 <p>Hello all!&nbsp; I don't know about you guys, but keeping my carbs down is tough for me.&nbsp; Last year - when i was first diagnosed - I kicked butt, worked out, lost about 20 lbs. and got my A1C down to 5.9 -- then I slipped up and haven't been doing what I need to do.&nbsp; So now I am trying to get back into the swing because I need to lose weight and I want to get healthier.&nbsp; But carbs kill me!&nbsp;</p> <p>I went to see a nutritionist who told me I need to keep my breakfast, lunch and dinner carbs between 45-60, and to have 2 snacks a day at 100 calories an 15 carbs each.&nbsp; I like coffee, so I make the non-fat milk in my coffee part of my carbs. But it is NOT easy.</p> <p>I brought in some nuts for snacks, but they have way more tan 100 calores per serving, even if they ARE low carb?</p> <p>Any suggestions? I would love to find some friends here in this forum to help and who I can help too!</p> en-us <p>I was diagnosed with prediabetes/insulin resistance this past monday. Was put on januvia and told to keep my carbs under 35/meal. I've not had too difficult a job doing this but having trouble regulating my protein and fat.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> Rexie Sun, 18 Apr 2010 00:00:39 -0400 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/351/subjects/1584 5679 <p>If you hven't already, read bloodsugar101.com or buy the book. I found it about a month ago and it gave me a totally new perspective.</p> <p>I've been following the plan there and it really seems to be helping. My daily average is below 200 mg/dL for the first time since I was diagnosed over 2 years ago. I'm actually looking forward to my next A1C.</p> <p>Note: I have no affiliation with the site or it's author, just a fan.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> digitalcraig Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:21:33 -0500 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/351/subjects/1584 5213 <p>The only info I am aware of&nbsp;that a &nbsp;diabetic shared with me&nbsp;&nbsp;is to&nbsp;stay away from complex carbs, anything with flour (NO), and regulate your portions.&nbsp;</p> Faye82 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 09:37:28 -0500 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/351/subjects/1584 5133
