I am now 48 hours in on this new adventure called Diabetes, and now that the shock is pretty much over and my brain is about to explode from information overload, I am feeling more and more confident that I can slay this beast! The internet is a beautiful thing you know. Have now given myself 2 doses of insulin (although it sure doesn't look like any is missing from the pen), and testing my waking sugar 2 days in a row. First test was 226, today's was 224 -- so down is good, right?
When drastically overboard on calories yesterday, altho I am no sure I am going to worry about that too much right now. More, I have to worry about nailing my carbs/fats/proteins. I will let the calories land where they land as I get myself really into the groove of sticking pure.
But here's the sucky thing: I adjusted my "diet plan name" here to reflect that I am doing LCHF/Keto, and entered the date of Jul 1 as my start -- and my true starting weight got adjusted to ToDAYS weight! So my chart doesn't show that I've already lost like 8 lbs!! Grrrrrrr....not happy about that -- it makes it look like I've NOT lost any weight. This is also gonna mess up my challenges I bet, blech!
So just for the record:
Start Date: 7/1/17
Start Wgt: 231.9 (pretty sure)
Current Wgt 224 on 8/6/17

There is a LOT of information out there. Some of it is even conflicting. Start simple. Eat simple, Whole Foods. I found a food list. Printed it out and went from there. Only eating from that list. You're right. Calories are not as important right now as keeping carbs low and moderate protein. Fat keeps you satiated and helps your body to switch from burning glucose to burning fat for energy. Keep at it my dear. Your numbers should keep coming down!

Thanks for your note! Previously, I played around (for years) with LC/LCHF/Keto, when I "only" had to lose weight. On any of my longer stretches, I noticed that my RA/Fibro improved so I knew I was on to something. But alas, I get lazy and go back to old habits...well I don't have that luxury anymore, so here I go.
