| If you had diabetes I would suggest a huge limit on any carbs,
but you don't and are just trying to stay healthy.
so i would eat healthy, i would not eat processed food, I would not eat much white food (pasta, white bread, rice, potatoes) I would eat some whole grain. I dunno, I am not much of a dietician, but I would do some healthy lifelstyle changes. maybe go look at the ADA guidlines, or the Glycemic index. but if you ever have diabetes, chuck the ADA guidlines.
get active.
and I wouldn't rely on my phychiatrist to monitor blood sugar every 6 months. that is not enough. because with zyprexa, if you get a rise, and catch it, it is possible to fix it. not always.
again, this is just what I would do, this is just my opinion, good luck.
it is a bad med, and I wish you didn't have to take it. but I know the choices you are looking at. and you are smart to be asking about this on a forum. I trusted my doctors, and kept my head in the sand, that did not work for me.
at diagnosis, my AC was 10.5, my blood sugar in the 300-500 range. they missed the diagnosis and didn't test me again for months, by then it was too late for me. I didn't get to make an informed choice.
