Greetings to all,
My name is Andrea & I don't want to be sad anymore.
I feel as if everyday is a MONDAY! I am diabetic, very uncontrolled due to my intense cravings for sweet carbohydrates. My PCP doesn't want to talk about the possibility of me being addicted to carbs and tells me to cut down on the grams of carbohydrates I consume daily.
EASIER TO SAY THAN TO DO.
If I don't start the day with carbs I am okay. Just one bite can lead to a day of over+++consumption!
I am 5'5"/235lbs/BMI40 and my PCP will not agree to the LapBand procedure.
Agreed to an insulin pump on 08/07/07 and I have yet to use the device!
What can I do & where can I receive the necessary information to control my carb cravings? Which in turn would lower my bloodsugar, decrease the need for the insulin pump and a few hundred other things that won't fit on this page!
Thanks so much for your time and attention to my inquiry, positive someone here has an answer or suggestion or a phone number.
