I will call the Quack in the morning and get some suggestions for finding
the appropriate dietician. He is really a nice fella and quite a good Doc
but I think he shortchanged us. And you know I will make this quite clear
when I speak to him.
Thanks for all the tips and suggestions.

Make sure you mention extra strips.. When I started really testing I was
testing 7-10 times a day to figure out what I could eat.. Keep in mind that
each of us is different.. No cookie cutter diet works for everyone..
I can eat watermellon, canteloupe, strawberrys and grapes.. Apples if they are
cooked(wierd).. I cant touch bananas, or peaches..
I can eat 1/2 cup of pasta, but only 1/4 cup of rice.. I eat NO white bread of
any kind.. I will occasionally bake zuchini bread useing 2/3 whole wheat flour
1/3 unbleached.. and subsituting canola oil for veg oill.... This I can eat
safely.. Some one else maybe not anything I mentioned.. The only way I know
this was to test test test and test.. I still test when I am trying new
things..If your numbers are higher when he first gets up, he may be carb
sensative in the morning. Some of us are and some arent..
I eat very few carbs in the morning.. Bacon, eggs, and coffee with real milk
and splenda..
I can have more carbs later in the day, again this is just me..
There are different eating plans out there. Some use the diabetic exchange and
some of us count carbs/fat/protein.. Each is different and hopefully what each
of us does works for us.. but we had to find that out on our own.. No DR or
dietician can tell you with 100 % accuracy what will work for you.. Only by
reading, learning, and testing will you be able to find out what works..You
wont learn it all overnight, that is for sure.. Im still learning and it has
been 1yr and 5 months..Take care and again welcome.
