I just wanted to jump in and tell you all how much I have been
learning by reading your posts. I am excited about your posting
meals. I'll see something and think, "Wow, there is something else I
will be allowed to eat!". Sounds yummy! I am going to Wal-Mart for
an el cheapo glucometer today even though the doc hasn't prescribed
one yet. I want to keep a tight check, an active roll, and figure out
what keeps me stable and what foods do not. Oh, we had a mega feed at
work yesterday, my first "temptation" as it were. I took my own food
- baked fish with garlic, onions, maters and gr. peppers instead of
eating their hot dogs, etc. Ate mostly raw veggies, a small slice of
watermelon and was quite proud of myself for not caving to my "carb
addictive" behavior. Getting all that bad food out of my life has
relieved the cravings. I feel better, more alert and not tired, and
have more stamina at work. I feel better mentally. But then I
sometimes all of a sudden crash and get kinda saddened at it all. I
know this is normal so I don't fret over it. Then I bounce back and
try to be positive and look on the bright side and be grateful that
this has really made me take charge of my health. Sorry I rambled
on! Just want others in the same boat to know there is hope for us
and lots of support from others like yourselves!

Way to go! Eating in social gatherings can be a challenge, but you got
around it and sound like you weren't too deprived. Get that meter and
test. Record what you eat and amounts and the bg results, that way you
will know what works for you. The posting of meals is a great thread,
although a lot off topic at the moment, for us newer members to ideas
from of things to try. I have seen several things on there that I may
not have thought of to try eating and they seem to work for some
members. I have found that recording on an easy to use excel log book
that I made by adjusting a more complicated on called kelly log is
working well for me- I just use diet & exercise at the moment. I don't
remember if you are on meds or not but you are welcome to try this log
if you would like to.
Keep up the good work, Sally
