Holy carp! I also exercised last night, and i felt pretty good doing it, esp for it being the first time in a while. So my blood sugar dropped like a hundred points in a week. Eating better had dropped it 60 pts early on, then it didnt move, but this morning, down another 40 pts. Feels like the first time anything i have ever done has had an EFFECT.

The weight watchers diabetic diet is GREAT. You EARN extra (daily) points for eating veg, immediately. That is reinforcing the correct habits for me. You earn extra weekly points for exercising. Ive read on their site that some people dont like being "allowed" to eat "extra" food. All i can say is, it works for me. I need something that lets me eat enough so that i am not weak and hungry, so i have enough energy to exercise, so i can then have a cookie! It is really hard for me to - idk.

I used to have just a plain bologna sandwich for lunch in grade school, and a milk. (On top of NO breakfast.) I always envied other kids who got stuff like carrot sticks or fruit in their packed lunch. Now i am doing that for me. Instead of just tuna on toast for breakfast, i have it with lettuce and guac, and fruit after. Luxury!
