| Betty you need to go to the book store and spend the day reading!! I guess the best thing to say about eating is don't eat thing that is white,[white flower, bread white, potatoes, and so on,] wheat breads are ok and rye is the next good bread. Eat lots of Veggies, EXCEPT leave corn,beets,carrotes, and go easy on the peas. All these makes a sugar spike in your system. Also does fruits but at a slower rate. Every system is differant so what I have done in the past is . Like potatoes a thing I love test before eating and again 2 hrs after and just see what you can eat, It'll take time put this is what I have done, I can eat a baked potato with salt, peper, and butter diabetic friendly, and have less problems then I do with french fries. as far as eating amounts I went to the South beach diet book and followed it , not all the way , I hate diets, but that would be a start,,, About your sharp pain in your feet, I would say go see your doctor, Its what some of us get with diabetes and its called Neuropathy[ Damage to the nerves.] I take Gabapentin 300 mgs 3 times aday. I hope this will get you started with your eating habits and your diabetes, Check around and see if there isn't a diabetic group that meets once or twice a month, Our group meets once a month at the hospital wellness center, lots of good people and good infomation in those places,,, Take care Charlie |
