Not Working - need a new plan

The adjustments that were made at my last appointment are making me feel terrible. I have been feeling wiped out, exhausted, still bloated and puffed up. In fact, my blood sugar is totally out of control. On Sunday my blood sugar reading was 317. I was in a daze and could hardly move around. I ended up taking a whole Glipizide (what she took me off of) and this morning my blood sugar was back down to 83. The lowest it's been since before I went on this Metagenics diet.

My Mom and Aaron and I took a look at all the ingredients of everything that I'm taking yesterday afternoon and found that I'm taking a probiotic that is a milk dirivitive. Well, I'm lactose intolerant and I told them that. Ok, my fault for not reading the label myself (even though I asked repeatedly if any of these pills, shakes, protein bars and puffed protein balls have milk in them.) Gee, I wonder why I was so bloated!

So I stopped taking that as of this morning and I did not take my shakes today. I did go to work (yesterday I spent most of the day in bed feeling very sick) and I felt much better. I did take the vitamins, fish oil, D3 and detox pills along with 1/2 Glipizide.

Tonight 2 hours after dinner my blood sugar was 212. Now I'll take another set of pills and another 1/2 Glipizide and see what it is in the morning. I hate to self-medicate and I think there is something wrong with this diet and my body - they are not getting along. So, I've made an appointment to see my family physician tomorrow at 2pm. Aaron strongly suggested that I see him for the defining diagnosis and plan going forward. If the diet is not right for my body (I'm so darn sensitive) then I will take my doctor's advice and do what he says.

I did look up The American Heart Association Diet, The American Diabetes Association Diet, The Mediterranean Diet and the Asian Diet on line last night and they pretty much all say the same thing. My mom and I were joking today that I should eat what God put on this earth in the first place. So we decided to look up the diet in the Bible and guess what? It's the Mediterranean diet! Thousands of years later, it all comes round to this.

I found this great website www.Mediterrasian.com It combines the Mediterranean Diet and the Asian Diet together. It makes alot of sense. Even if I continue on the shakes, detox pills, vitamins, etcetera, Aaron and I (and my Mom) have decided to eat this way. It also stresses exercise, relaxation and good sleep.

So stay tuned, I'm still not giving up on getting rid of Diabetes. I will find a way!
