Flip the switch? Extreme stress and bg
So in the last few months, I haven't been as strict as I should be, and my sugars showed it, coming in at 100-150 ish more often than not. I was pushing to get them down again by diet changes, but wasn't getting the result I needed. And then...we had a wildfire. Less than 3 miles away and...

You all know I love Adam. His book has been helping people so much and there are not only recipes in it, but he also shares how the meals he makes affect his glucose numbers. I realize that we are not all the same, but how cool is it to know that the foods he eats have proven to help his levels....

I was diagnosed as diabetic today.
Ugh. I've been on blood pressure meds for a few years, and my doctor is conscientious about keeping up with what's going on with my health. I had a full blood work exam a month ago along with an echo cardiogram, and today I enjoyed a nice leisurely ride on the stationary bike stress test machine....

I ran across an interesting article on cycling with diabetes-
The recommendations may be helpful to any who use physical activity to help control BG. The one place I disagree has to do with carb use. I find that I can go longer with better control when fueled with healthy fats. "CYCLING AND DIABETES Conrad Earnest, PhD, FACSM Working with a diabetic...

Can I do this in the morning
I am not a morning person and I was wondering if that if I am in a hurry, can I, instead of eating a carb and giving myself insulin and being late, could I just eat something zero or very low carb and run out the door, or is that unhealthy and could it affect me in any way? I am starting school...

Hospitals and Meds...help!
Okay, after the last go round at the hospital (2 years or so back) when I got the wrong meds and a huge fight, I determined that if I ever went in again, my meds would not leave my control, period. Good thing. Last week I had some truly funky numbness and lightheadedness that landed me at the...

Low Carb Low Sodium Snack Crackers
I'm trying to get more sardines in my diet but can't seem to find a decent cracker to eat them on. Melba toast founds are too tough, and a lot of the wheat crackers I've found are way too salty or carby. I've heard you can slice veggies and toast them to substitute for crackers or even bake...
