[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 629405, member: 1963"] Posted too soon, sorry. I can't figure out how to eat to keep my sugar steady. My doctor says my A1C is so close to high normal that at this point I don't have to test. I have had severe reactive hypoglycaemia since I was in my teens, so I know what a sugar crash feels like. It hoovers. My cholesterol is good, both LDL and HDL, but my triglycerides are high. It takes me two or three tries to choke down a humungous fish oil capsule every night. I dread it all day. Then, I drink huge amounts of water because I have 'dry mouth'. Turns out I have to cut back on water. The advice: suck on sugar-free candies instead. Well, I did that today and now have the runs from the sweeteners in the candy. My sodium is too LOW from drinking so much water. Argh! The whole thing is a balancing act and if the diabetic nutritionist and I can't get something figured out, I am gonna chuck it go get a large chocolate milkshake with whipped cream. Actually, I won't do that as when I had one a couple of months ago I got deathly sick with a sugar crash about an hour after drinking. I got sick today because I was late for lunch because running errands took longer than expected. Good thing mum told me about carrying candy and a Glucerna bar. I ate a few peppermints and the bar and was able to make it home and get something more substantial to eat. This is just a long, involved whine, I guess. But any pointers from experienced Type II diabetics who are on medications would be helpful. [/QUOTE]
