ORIGINAL: tazzygirl But, in the future, start with the pharmacist instead of waiting a day or two to talk to your physician. tazzygirl, if you re-read my post, you will see that I did call the pharmacist first. I'm very lucky to have a great pharmacist. I called the doctor the next morning, and other than having to call to the other office (he wasn't at the one I go to), I spoke directly to him during that call. So I guess I'm pretty lucky to have a very available doctor as well. Total time waiting? A little more than 12 hours, a good portion of that being time I was asleep, so I don't necessarily count it. Steven, Thank you very much for the offer. I'm currently interviewing for someone to wait at the bottom of the stairs should I clumsily fall down them with the cast. Know anyone who might be interested? Actually, the yoghurt (or however the hell is correctly spelled) listing itself as "diabetic friendly" just prompted me to read their label first looking for, as you said the carb count. As it turns out, it was significantly less than the others. Dannon's "lite and fit" seems to also have lower carb counts. As some of you already know, lowering my carbs is a bit difficult for a carb addict like me. When I did the grocery shopping, I tried to make sure that nothing had more than 20 grams per serving. I know the nutritionist said 15, and I do try to keep within that, but considering my typical per serving intake of carbs was probably at least double if not more, 20 to me seems like a good start. Oh and I check the whole wheat pasta that around my neck of the woods everyone seems to be raving about. It is only like 2 grams less than regular! For me, and the little that I do eat pasta, I will take the 2 extra carbs because I think the whole wheat stuff tastes like crap!
