Tyler Lost 4 Pounds & Cut his Shots/Insulin Down !!!!!!!
« on: March 22, 2011, 08:16:37 AM »
Tyler started last week trying to FTS but he does eat more then 20 carbs a day .Being a Type 1 teen on insulin he has lows that have to be treated .
 He did stay under 70 carbs a day which is what the Childrens Diatician told him to eat per meal . He has taken his 24 hour insulin down 2 more units (that is down 7 units since I started FTS )
 He has cut his 3 meal shots down to 1-2 a day most days was just 1 shot at breakfast ,he loves his milk with his brownies (thanks FTS )and does not like almond milk . (baby steps )

 I am just so very proud of him and wanted to let yall know that although FTS will not cure Type 1 Diabetes for my son and many other children like him it sure will cut insulin intake which cause's weight gain and out of control ups & down of Blood Sugar .
 But Parents of kids that  have Type2 Diabetes,please get  control with the food weare the ones that buy it and bring it in the house .

Myson does not have a chioce but to live with Diabetes  problems & serious complications that come with it Type 2 children do have a choice and you parents have the power to make it for them at least until they are 18 anyway . 

Thanks Doug & Umpa for all you do ,if I dont lose another pound you have done something wonderful at my house !!! And of course we know I want to lose more just sayin ! ;D

That's awesome! :) I imagine he will feel better just knowing he has a little more 'control' in his life with this whole issue. Congrats to Tyler!

Just wanted to tell everyone that Tyler went to the doctor Monday for his check-up and she was amazed that he is only taking 10-20 units of insulin and eating low carb/FTS  she said "oh he has good self control ,I knew that you had not refilled insulin in a while " she was shocked & impressed .

 His A1C was 6.9 which is very impressive for a teenager with TYPE 1   Her chart said Non-Diabetic A1C is supposed to be 3.0-6-0

I am so proud of him & he is proud of hisself too ,plus he got his drivers license the same day !!! I gonna have to really LEt Go & Let God with the driving !! Lord Help me !!!!
