[Diabetes-talk] Testing Frequency

[Mike Freeman]

Vicky: 
IMO you could make the doctor search easier by skipping the chiropractor. (grin ) also, there's a growing school of thought that knocks whole grains also. Read Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes. It's available on BookShare. He's a low-carber for sure. 
Read what we say and then, together with your medical personnel, figure out what works for you.

> Well, you all raise questions that I intend to ask my doctor next month. This was an introductory visit so we had to cover a lot of ground in a very short period of time. I have more faith in this doctor than the one who diagnosed me last February. It is really hard to move to a new town and find a new doctor, dentist, chiropractor, etc. I will follow this doctor's instructions for the time bing and rely on his interpretation the my blood tests every 3 months for guidance. I agree testing more often seems more advisable, but I'll tell you more when I know more.

My downfall is bread and potatoes and sweets. I have found a lot of diabetic cookbooks on BookShare from which I am getting ideas about portion control and foods  that  have a low glycemic index. I am a work in process.
