Was insulin resistant for about 20 years before becoming full-blown diabetic about 10-12 years ago. I take 30 mg of Actos each day and control it with diet. I'm going off Actos as I recently read how it and Avandia are causing severe eye problems and the FDA is investigating.
Like Sarah, mine is a symptom of PCOS.
I eat what I want but in minute quantities --a bite of cake, not a slice. A bite if cookie, not a whole cookie.
I avoid most products with white flour and potatoes as they're really bad for diabetics. I eat mostly wheat flour products and you get used to it is all I can say.
I have a father who is dying from diabetes-related diseases and is on insulin 4 times a day and having watched him slowly dying is why I'm SO careful about controlling my blood sugar.
Juicy, just know it can be controlled and don't let it control YOU. There are diabetic forums for information and so many products these days are made with Splenda, making it easier to eat than years ago, but avoid things with Sorbitol, Mannitol or Maltitol!
Sextoyking, it's a by-products of our ancestors, all that matzoh with flour, latkes with potatoes and Purim honey cake.
