I'm on what is apparently a pretty large dose of potassium (Klor-Con, brand name K-Dur). The bottle says M20 (they are huge) for the size of the tablet and I take 4 of them a day.

Kfarrell, after a few weeks on her diet, without medication, my daughter went back to the doctor, and her sugar has returned to normal. But the episode gave her quite a scare, and she is continuing with her healthy diet. She has lost 15 lbs, which is a good start. As you say, sometimes things happen for the best.
In my own case, I think my biggest problem is alcohol. I started drinking in the late afternoons to kill pain, so I could move around and enjoy cooking supper. But I got to drinking big slugs of peppermint schnapps along with my beer, and the amounts kept increasing. I'd been on a pretty good toot the night before I had the bloodwork done, and I'm sure that had a lot to do with the results.
So the scare has been the best thing for me, too. I have cut my alcohol intake drastically, and I feel much better.
Purrfect, I'm taking the same kind of potassium, but only 1-1/2 tablets a day. You're right, they are huge. The only way I can get them down is to give them a chew and wash them down with a glass of water.
All veggies and whole grains are complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are usually fruit juices, sugars and syrups.Constance said:whole grains are complex carbs, which the body breaks down over a longer period of time. Thus, you're not flooded by a sudden burst of glucose.
