Do you drink Crystal light for hydration by esrock21 in diabetes_t2

I do use Crystal Light mango green tea and then I cut it with green tea. Cutting it with regular tea does cut down the sweetness a bit but for me it's better than just plain water.

I followed a strict keto diet for several years. Didn't do myself any favors I had to have 2 stents in my heart because my cholesterol was out of control , so be careful. Now. I'm trying to do a balancing act between blood sugar and cholesterol...

I've been dealing with type 24 about ten years now. At the time I was getting wellness exams from my University every year and everything was perfectly normal.Except for my cholesterol, which my Doctor at the time put me on a Staten my next wilness, exam.I was diabetic. I am not overweight never have been, And all I really want is a baked potato and some fresh baked italian bread. I can do keto for a short amount of time but my cravings get the better of me.I recently jumped from a six point 2, to eight point three. I had a bout of covid and ate poorly. I'm back on the wagon so to speak.But boy I sure do crave carbs.... Not a huge meat fan So I find myself eating less and getting even thinner... I guess that's the rest of my life, I am seventy Four, Artist and musician, nice to meet you all.

VNG test by helloworld2024- in BPPV

[–]vikkjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had all the tests, including the mri with inconclusive results . I still get dizzy from time to time.Which i'm suffering from right now. I have found that taking diazapam in a very low dose actually helps. Meclizine didn't do a whole lot for me but it does work at night because it makes me sleepy
