Hello, I am Michiko Tabuchi. I've been a diabetic for almost a month now
and am just getting started in my treatment schedule. I will be going to
a diabetes specialist next week. Now I am taking Metformin, 1000 twice a
day, cut out all sugar products and am watching my carbohydrates. I check
my blood glucose 6 times a day, the tests are good as long as I don't
overdo the carbohydrates.

I read the post with the link for motzarella news server and signed up. I
connect to the internet from my neighbors wi-fi and have been using
Google to read this group. It's ok, my neighbor knows about it and gave
me the password. I tried posting from google but didn't do it right
because the post never showed up. I hope this post does show up.

Hi Michiko-san,

Welcome to the club nobody wants to join! Going to a diabetes specialist
sounds like a good plan. It certainly improved my situation.

Rice puts my BG (blood glucose) through the roof. Even a tablespoon. Bread
does about the same. Half a slice is my limit. Potatoes and pastas aren't
quite as bad. The effect is lessened if the carbs are eaten with protein
and later in the day.

You'll find the people in this group very helpful, with a few exceptions.
You'll figure it out. Keep us informed and don't be afraid to ask
questions.

Take care.

Rice has always been my main food. I'm not sure I can ever give it up
completely. I know I will have to cut down, my after meal tests have been
high and eating rice, even only a little is the cause. I've never eaten a
lot of vegetables and don't like them, except for broccoli and spinach. I
only eat a little meat and chicken but eat a lot of fish and soy products.

Michiko,

I understand about rice being a mainstay of your diet; for me it was
potatoes. You'll be surprised what you can do. :-) As for the
veggies, even if you've got to eat broccoli and spinach with every
meal, those are two very good veggies for a diabetic. You might also
consider some lower glucose fruits like berries or peaches. Fish and
soy are wonderful! I don't know if you like it, but dairy is okay
too. Although a lot of doctors don't like the high fat content in
dairy, most of us here have found that once our BGs are under control
the cholesterol and triglycerides come in line too. Olive oil is one
of the healthiest fats, so don't be afraid to use it. You might also
add in some nuts.

Best regards,

I find that dairy has too much sugar in it for me. I really miss it
too.

Michelle, I didn't know you were taking metformin - you didn;t put it
in
your sig file!

I'm not taking metformin, DF. You must have me mixed up with someone
else. ;-) I think Wendy addressed that issue.
