[6of1]

Was a mixup with my appointments, got to wait until Monday now! gurrr....

Just hate that when that happens, especially if you take time out of a busy work day to get there...

Did you try Amla?

No, not yet - I may add some in, I am itching to add some East Indian food into my diet. Though my fave is Japanese.

And if I may ask, what have you been doing to bring it down so well?

Carb counting, diet (ick ) exercise (I am now addicted to my exercise routine doing 5 days out of 7, now up to an hour and 25 minutes worth.
I use the stairs at work instead of the elevator.
MetFormin (My Dr. has said we may wean me off of the MetFormin if my numbers continue as they are - I am now getting
the occasional home test below 5 - which makes me happy, as long as I don't go hypoglycaemic)
I love my rice, prefer white rice, but have cut my intake by 2/3. I was eating up to 3 cups or more per day.
I was also siphoning back the ginger ale pretty
heavily just before the diagnosis, so it is now reserved for when I have a stomach issue or flu. No fruit juice, which I also
used to drink pretty heavily, along with iced tea, gatoraid, and lemonaid.
No longer use refined sugars, unless I am cooking something which has it in the sauce.

Basically, I told my Dr. I had switched into stubborn mode, I was going to keep my limbs and my eyesight.

To see how I am doing, I use software to track diet and exercise. (The software I use is called crosstrainer - buggy, but it's
OK for now, I am writing software of my own for this purpose, but it is a slow process)

How have you been feeling lately?
Keeping your spirits up, I hope?
