Hi my name is Sandra and I am new to this site. I am obese and a type II diabetic. I have been ttc#2 for over a year and just started a cycle of clomid. Is anyone else diabetic and what are your blood sugars like.

:hismilie: Welcome Sandra!!!....I love new people....hope you can stay. I am a new diabetic. Even though my levels run very low to me....Fasting at 120 ...2 hrs. after meal...158. Last Ha1c 7.2. This is still not low enough. :rolleyes: My new high risk doctor want them fasting below 100 and 2 hrs after meal he wants 120?...This has been diffucult for me. Although my most recent checks have been around that. I think it has taken about six weeks for the gluc to fully get in my sytem.

I would love to know your experience of what the docs told you about where they wanted your level??????? I too what to try Clomid ...but was told I MUST get my sugar level down before he will prescribe....At first I was upset...but then I started reading how when you get pregnant..the hormones that the body produces to support the placenta INCREASE :rolleyes: insulin resistance of the cells....I realize that he is just being a really good doctor.

I have really been watching the carbs and of course no sugar. I have began to walk outside really fast and maybe that is helping. My most current reading was fasting 103 and 2 hr after meal 124.

Do you have any advice on how I can get it lower? Any specific foods you avoid?

Welcome!!!

I'm borderline and also have to watch what i eat. I've been told to stay away from ALL bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, flour, and anything high in carbs (ie candy, chocolate). It totally sucks because I miss my mashed potatoes but I've already lost 10 lbs by changing the way I eat. If you guys need any recipes let me know I have some good ones.
