Question
Howdy all!
I wanted to thank you for helping me with my diabetes survey. Bayer Medical has donated 12 brand new glucose monitors for me to give to you . If any of you would like or need a new monitor, please email me with your address and I will put one in the mail for you until all 12 are given away.
This is to thank you for completing my surveys. Even though I only have 12 monitors- if you or someone you know would still like to complete the surveys - please follow these links.
Link 1 (most important - if you answer no other survey - please answer this one - and it doesn't matter if you have Diabetes or not:

Hi :
First off I am Texan too. Live in the "Capitol City".
Friday, April 2nd, my doctor diagnosed my high sugar count as type 2 diabetes. I was not totally surprised. The reason I was not is that when I had my last dot physical, the doctor there gave me a urine test twice in two days. Last one after fasting.
Gave me a 3 month ticket and said see my own doc, so I did. He perscribed a pill, Metformin 500MG tabs (teva), that I take twice a day with food.
He gave me a class to go to for info, and some other referrals, but problem is I am penciled in to go otr with new carrier on 12 April. Be training at least two weeks before off the truck.
What can I do short term about a diet, and my testing stuff, which I haven't got yet.
I'm a baby on the subject of type 2. Help me.
The folks on Drivers Round Table directed me to you.
Thanks, David (oldcodger)
I'm making REAL good time - where am I ????

Howdy!
Got your email - and supplies will be on the way shortly.
In the mean time - definitely try to get to class as soon as you have a chance - but here are some survival skills.
Try to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks per day. Each meal should contain 30-45 grams of carbs (along with protein and some fat) and each snack should contain about 15-30 grams of carbohydrate.
People often mistakenly think that they need to avoid all carbs if they are diabetic. In reality - you need to moderate the amount you take in and make sure that you do it over the course of the day.
Also - AVOID (I put that in all caps b/c this is super important) - all REGULAR SODA, JUICE, SPORTS DRINKS or any liquid that has sugar in it. They make your blood sugar jump really high in a short amount of time.
Good luck to you!
Glad you found me
Michelle

Hi everyone - I have 5 blood glucose monitors left- even if you already have one- perhaps you would like another one for your truck and one for home.
In any case- if you or someone you know would like one - just let me know!
