Hello Mary,
Interesting sites…
Is it my imagination or re: the “Famous Diabetes” Site is the FONT a little bit small????
Didn’t have time this afternoon to look closely I wonder how you contribute some writing???
Anybody know?

This tip comes from the American Diabetes Association.
Make the Switch to Healthier Fats
The ADA recommends that you replace part of your dietary fat, especially saturated fat, with healthier monounsaturated fats. These include olive oil, canola oil, or nuts. Keep in mind, these fats should replace saturated or polyunsaturated fat in your diet. They should not be added to your regular fat intake. In other words, don’t increase the total fat content of your meal plan.
Nuts can substitute for animal protein in recipes or be eaten in small servings as snacks. Garnish vegetables with slivered almonds, hazelnuts, or pine nuts instead of butter. Use nut butters (such as peanut, cashew, or almond butter) without partially hydrogenated oils. Avocados can be sliced and added to a sandwich of tomato, sprouts, or other vegetables. Prepare salad dressings or pastas with olive oil. Cook (sauté, stir-fry, or broil) with small amounts of olive or canola oil. Canola oil is a monounsaturated fat that is less expensive than olive oil and lighter in taste. When you substitute liquid oil for solid shortening in a recipe, use 1/4 less.

Hi All,
Until we get to the pediatrician tonight, I thought I’d ask the pros
here.
Maddie has some sort of “bug”, it seems to be running through the
daycare center. She has high fever, sore throat, stomach ache, and
ketones!!!!!
However, her blood sugar is perfect. I thought they went hand in
hand. Endo says I need to raise her sugar to give her more insulin to
clear the ketones.

is down from 6.8 to 6.5 due to me now being on Lantus, and I am sure, since I started working. I also upped my Lantus back to 50 units and have occassional, problems with Lows… but overall, I am feeling a lot better.
My doctor was quite Happy with the results of the A1c. She would like to see my Blood pressure drop a little more though, and doubled my Blood Pressure meds, and she also wants me to try and start loosing some weight. I have gained almost 20 pds. in a yr. It is since I started taking Insulin… I feel better, but have gained weight? Any suggestions? Most of the time, I eat less too.

Howard you said in a previous post that if you are a diabetic in the UK that
all meds are covered. What if you’re NOT a diabetic? Are your meds still
free?
We have just watched our news and we are devastated at the loss of
life,injuries to say nothing of the damage caused over such a wide
area.Please know that we care and we send our thoughts and prayers to
everyone affected by the devastation of the hurricane.

Hello Jen,
Who did this study (: 9 ? Its far too small a group to be able to extend those conclusions to the entire diabetic population but it does appear to indicate a meaningful challenge… the generic conclusion is much the basis of what Dr. Cox seems to be suggesting with his/her ASL emoticon Blood Glucose Awareness Training work…
Defacto, we cannot tell worth a darn where the numbers are within 50 points seems to be the view!!! If we’re only off by 25 points and our level is LOW to start with… those tiny points will make a serious difference!

Good Morning,
10 servings of carbs per day sounds about right, for a certain age group, and folks whom are extremely active. It would be 2 servings per meal, 1 between each (ie snack), and one to place at will. But less are likely more helpful especially if weight loss is the goal…
