Nancy, thank heaven you are okay. I had missed you and was just teasing in a post Wednesday, saying where has Nancy been! We had done yard work here so that somehow reminded me of you! Well, don't dwell on the scariness of it, just go forward with all the good knowledge you'll have now. I didn't know there were management pages like that - they will be helpful and right up your alley. I know your dh is so relieved you are back home. Us, too!
Also, Nancy, there is a "Diabetic Diary" page for the pocketmod (the link is in the "Welcome, Links" thread for the pocketmod forum). You go to the link for the newer site, "rePocketMod.com". Under "Create" you look at "select a mod" and it's under miscellaneous. Someday when you are out and about that might be helpful until you can get home and transpose it to your management pages.
Hope everyone will remember and use Indiana's Healthy Snacks thread, below.
Also, use the Daily Logs idea here and post anything that is helpful to you. Use the thread I started last month or start a new one. Btw, I put a recipe for a sort of breakfast dessert in my last post there.
lucylee, I'm glad you are confident for me - don't know if it will be easy. Just trying on my own I only lost .5 pounds in 10 days or more. It was only the new way of eating that made a quicker difference, so now I'm back to plugging along! Already today I think I ate too much at lunch. I had a Greek salad and it just wasn't enough, so I added a leftover turkey taco (corn tortilla) and had a little peanut brittle, telling myself it was more nuts than candy!
One thing that is helping is keeping a food log and figuring out the nutrition a little. I still have a lousy reaction to too much sodium, so that's a biggie for me - keeping sodium in check.
If you don't believe in miracles, you're not being realistic.
