I have a meter and in the morning glucose is extremely low and after my normal sugars through out the day my night glucose is almost dangerously high.

I chose to do fake sugar in my diet to help me loose weight but I am also trying to get my body used to lower amounts of sugar. In Feb I started with 8 packets of aspartame in each of my 2 cps of coffee, as of today I am down to 4 packets. When I get a BFP I will only drink 1 cp a day and I hope to be at no sugar or very little.... I have lost 40.5 lbs and I am very proud of it.

40 pounds thats incredible!! I'm going to try to drop 20 and that will put me at about my lowest adult weight. How fast did you lose it? I bet its so hard :| But keep your eye on the prize, right??

Congratulations on the weight loss purple, fantastic :D

I have been loosing it since March... I could loose more. If I don't get my BFP in a few weeks I will skip TTC in August to loose more weight and then TTC in Sept and Dec and Jan.

I would love to be down to 130... with muslces. I am building a bike trailer so I can ride everyday after baby.

But it's not the pH of the food/drink itself that is the most important, it's the pH of what it does in your body (allegedly.) So some things that are alkaline react in your body to turn more acidic and vice versa, which is why blue swayers drink lemon water even though it's acidic.

Reg sugar pop can help lower your blood sugar in addition to making you more acidic though, because your body releases insulin to digest the sugar and you end up with a blood sugar "crash" after drinking it. (that is, if you don't drink or eat anything else afterwards for a few hours!!!)

Real sugar, honey, agave, and one fake sugar I forgot the name of or for boys diets. I am drinking things with aspartame and splenda, can't wait to have real sugar again.

The best things to drink are crystal light, diet caff free sodas, and reverse osmosis water.

Where in AZ are you?

Yes 3 girls.and I would say I had a very high sugary diet,some days I would just eat sweets most part of the day,never brekky and always sugary drinks!very unhealthy:-(

Ok Atomic so what do you think about this? Drinking regular Coke alone and then drinking diet coke with meals so that I can avoid any problems with mixing the sugar and other food together? I'm not ttc until 2012 so I'm trying to get my plan to 100% so I'm not stressing these things when ttc! Need to be confident about my plan. Tks again!
