I have been lurking for almost two months and I have learned so much. I have seen so much compassion. Like the tough compassion in the &quot;I am scared thread.&quot; This is a great group of people.<br \/>\nAbout me:<br \/>\nI received my diagnosis in November. Doctor said your AIC was 6.9 and if it goes above 7 you have to take insulin.:eek:  See me in two months.:eek:  That was it. Fortunately as a librarian I am use to using all kinds of media to research everything to death. So I have read Dr. Bernstein, Dr. McDougall and Dr. Barnard. Read articles and internet information. The result I am now watching my fats and following a low glycemic, low carb 50-90, lacto ovo vegetarian diet.:D <br \/>\nI started my diet before I got a meter so I am not sure how high my number every was. Following this diet my averages has been 88-99.  I want to keep below 110 preferably 100. The highest was in the beginning 126 ate some sushi. I am so early in this I am not sure what the future will bring I haven\u0092t really miss foods. A lot of the foods I can\u0092t eat I really shouldn\u0092t eat because of trying to loss weight.<br \/>\nThe other component of this life style, exercise could be better. In my 20\u0092s 30\u0092s and early 40\u0092s I really really exercised a lot. I ran a couple of marathons practiced martial arts, swimming power yoga weight lifting and spinning.:)  Some days I exercised 3 to 4 hours. In the last six years with kids there just wasn\u0092t time.  Now at 50 I am working at 30 to 45 minutes a day.  I never completely stop exercising but never consistently Certainly not like when there was no other life demands. I always wanted to get back some of the strength and flexibility I had during my younger years.   I own a spinning bike and use a lot of fitness videos. Still wish I had more time. Now with my diagnosis it\u0092s essential I make time.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone I am Nita First I want to say this is a wonderful place.
