Hi everyone,

Finally, a place just for diabetics on the SBD. I started the SBD 8/04 and have lost about 7 lbs. More importantly my BS levels have been awesome!!!! They have not been above 155 since I started. I am a
type 2 diabetic and I was taking 80 units of NPH in the morning and 70 units of NPH at night as well as Novolog with each meal. Thanks to the SBD I am now taking 20 units less both am/pm and have almost completely cut out my Novolog. I have had no cravings and I feel much better. My weight loss has been disappointing, but I think I need to drink more water. I am about 75lbs - 100lbs overweight. I have a long way to go but I keep trying to remember that I didn't put it on overnight, I can't take it off overnight.

I have a question for everyone? How do you handle low blood sugars on Phase 1? Thankfully, I have been keeping my BS level but I wanted to know what to do just in case.

I am glad to be here.

Harriet

Hi

And welcome to the boards and the beach. I am also a Diabetic Type 2.

I started on P2 skipped p1 according to my doctor. Been on it a month
Started 7/5 weigh in at 298 and sugar was 133 clostriol was 160 a month later 8/9 Weigh in 284 `14 lbs lost and sugar was 96 and clostriol was 130.

I am going in the right direction. There is a forum on here just started Diabetes on the Beach!!! We take alot about diabetes issues and concerns. You are welcome to join us.

When my sugar goes low i eat a orange that is what the doctor said to do.
I didnt do p1 because i needed the natural sugar from the fruits

And keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. If i dont answer it is because i am away from August 15-20th and i will answer all post when i get back.

Welcome aboard the Beach
