Anyone into Triathlon? I'm on a team composed of triathletes all with type 1 diabetes, called Triabetes.

I am wanting to start one of these, but as I diabetic I know that theres Carbs in everything. So does a No Carb diet mean I cant eat anything but protiens and Fruits/veggies? or does it mean I just cant eat more complex carbs like starches/breads. Help!

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...

Has anyone used the HCG diet? Or heard anything about using it with insulin?

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...

Alright here we go. I have never been overweight or even border line, but now I am creeping ever so slightly over the line. I started taking Novolog (instead of Apidra) at the end of December 2010. Since then I have gained an additional 12 pounds. Now I exercise (cardio and strength), and have a pretty...

Should my newly diagnosed 3 year old drink Crystal Light as an alternative to Juice? I am worried about the Aspartame content.

last november, december and january 2009/2010 about 6 people mentioned that i had lost a lot of weight. good thing as i cut out almost all extra sugar out of my diet and i work out and average of 3 times a week. March 2010 i went on insulin to control my blood sugars. the insulin worked but i have put...

Hey Juvenation friends and others- I recently started a new diet recommended to me by a guy who generally creates nutrition and diet plans for MMA fighters and pro wrestlers. I told him my goals, which were essentially to get leaner and stronger so that I'd ultimately become a better hill climber...

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...

For much of my life I've been a skinny guy. At one time, for a long time, I was too skinny. People would talk about my needing to put some meat on my bones. Then about ten years ago I mention to my doc how I was draggin' my butt, had no energy, etc. He decides to test my thryoid and - bingo....

Life is precious! Perhaps even more so to those of us who get to experience it in bursts of on/off, a rollercoaster of high energy (great bg), feeling like we're slogging though mud (high bg), and moments where our only thought is obtaining food - now (low bg). We get to be responsible for ourselves...

I'm sitting at my desk at work right now, where I should be working, but I'm not. There's this employee contribution campaign for Community Health Charities going on. We do fund-raising in the office, and the employee council makes it "fun" by having a theme and games and such....
