Has anyone tried the Raw Diet? I have a couple friends who think that it is something that I should try (as they now eat raw) I am kinda skeptical of it. I know I need to ask my Dr. at my next appointment but I was interested to see if anyone else has tried it, and if it has helped the diabetes at all...

Since today's Friday Zac and I talked about going out to eat after he gets off work. We love eating out on the weekend. But being a diabetic eating out can be tricky. The first thing that gets me is when they get my drink wrong. I can't drink regular, plus it tastes totally gross. Then even though...

I now weigh more than I have ever weighed in my entire 27 years (I'm 17 pounds overweight according to my scale). About a month ago I started having some odd highs out of nowhere, my husband and I thought I might be pregnant, but that turned out not to be the case. I went to see my endo to adjust...

Since I found this site, I have learned I am not the only one with concerns about insulin and weight loss. I have struggled with my weight since I was 15, when I was put on fast acting insulin. I've tried everything: loads of diets, Weight Watchers, tracking calories, increased exercise. I've...

I come from a family with a history of diabetes, so this is perhaps the single most frustrating accusation I experience. Ever since I was diagnosed, my family likes telling me I'm using my diabetes as a crutch. I am constantly being compared to the other Type 1s in my family. I may have the same...

I've been doing a little experiment lately to see if Splenda really helps keep bs lower. What I have discovered is that, for me at least, no it doesn't. I've done the exact same thing, food and everything, on different days and the only difference was with my cup of mint tea at bed one night...

So in the morning my bow and I make half veggie half fruit smoothies to get our needed veggies rolling for the day and to help out in digestion. It is fast, easy to make, fast to clean up, just requiring a freezer, and a blender. I just take spinach, zucchini, carrots, cucumber, flux seed, benefiber...

Hello, My 5 year old son was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I am trying so hard to find "free"(under 5 carbs) snacks for him to eat between meals. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would really appreciate it! Thx

I can't seem to figure out why my blood sugar acts the way it does! It is always high. So, I figured I would ask all of you! Please help!

I've had diabetes for 3 years, and being 16 now, I've had it for about 3 years. (I was diagnosed the week before my birthday). The worst for me, is that I like to drink juice. I like to sit back, relax, and eat chips while I watch TV. Getting to eat as much as I want and not have to measure and...

I was just in NY for a few days this past week & weekend, and I have to say that my glucose levels don't like NY bagels and pizza. It's my second visit and both were for weddings, so there's also a lot of food. Fortunately for me this isn't an everyday occurrence and my normal diet...

So I work really hard to feed my little girl the right kinds of food, but sometimes I want her to just be a kid. Like this morning when we all got to sleep in and have a family day. When we got up she wanted to have french toast, which we rarely have in our house. Now since she has been diagnosed there...
