Re: Digest Number 847
Hello: I am new to this list and that I would introduce myself. I am a
fairly new diabetic who was diagnosed in July of 2002. I am diet and
exercise controlled. However, after not exercising over the winter much at
all, due to icey roads and being in a "diabetic depression/feeling sorry for
myself" my BS has raised. I am back walking at least 30 min. a day, often
close to an hour (1 1/2 to 3 miles) and it makes a big difference in my
glucose level and attitude about life. I have also found that eating
carefully at night–no potato, rice, or pasta–helps with my BS over night.
Last night I had a bit of pasta, and my BS was 108 this morning. It happens
every time. I have read that walking often stimulates your body to make
insulin, but I am not sure that it is happening long-term. Does any one have
suggestions?
I am not interested in Dr. Clark’s system. I have read things about her
(articles on internet) that make me shy away. Thanks in advance. Ellie
