This is amazing I was diagnosed at 39 after having two children late in life, with type II. I have been hypothyroid since 28 and glucose intolerant from my early 30s. I have really had a hard time with my blood sugar especially at night. My Doctor, who is a specialist basically told me today I had to go on insulin therapy since my 4mg of Amaryl wasn't working and my morning bs is about 180. I think with some direction, ie carb direction like I found on your board, I will be able to much more easily manage. Tonight I had about 30 carbs for dinner and my blood sugar right now is about 130 and I am sure my morning started out high. I just want you all to know that I hate being diabetic and having to have all of these dietary exceptions but that I appreciate not feeling so alone by finding this board. If anyone is in the Richmond VA area and knows a good endo please let me know. I need some one to give me options, not more medicine.
