Well thats frustrating Dorrrie. I think looking at the glycemic index is a good idea. You need some long lasting protein like snacks. Have you tried almonds and thinkgs like that?

Yup! I am in this for the long haul! ave have lost 50 pounds before( that has all came back!) I kept it off for years and felt so good about myself! I need to get back to that mindframe.
I should attempt the diet I was on......watching calories and fat. It is a little harder with the diabetes but I think that is a good idea. I kept a food journal and counted calories.....if I really investigate the GI of foods and their calorie content....I could make it work.
I did not have the internet then with calorie counters etc. I am going to make up a pln and will share it with you soon!!
Shelley....thank you for your support..I really do appreciate it!!!
How are YOU doing on SB???

Thanks Shelley! The big thing I did wrong was not eat untill9:30 or so...I took my pills then as well. This means I wil have to stay up for a bit to have a snack to keep my sugar up enough for the night I think I will wait a while and then have some crackers with peanut butter...that usually heps maintain my sugars for the night.
Glad you had a good day!!
