Eating out is something that is normal in our lives, if it is a business meeting over diner, a fast-food meal with the children or a neighborhood barbecue. We eat out when we don't feel like cooking, when we want a different taste and because it is nice to enjoy a nice atmosphere in a restaurant or a nice meal without having to wash the dishes afterwards. But is it healthy?
Some restaurants have food low in cholesterol, fat, and sodium, and higher in fiber on their menu. A lot of restaurants offer sweeteners and diet drinks, low-fat salad dressing, low-fat milk, and salt substitutes. It is not hard to find baked or broiled food, whole-grain breads, salads, fish and vegetables.
Many restaurants have food that is healthy. You should ask the waiter for calorie and fat information on dishes on the menu. Chefs can make low-fat entrees using lean cuts of meat. Asking for skinless chicken or no butter on a certain dish is also possible. At some restaurants you can ask for smaller portions for less money.

Knowing what to eat is confusing enough when you are healthy. There is always a new fad or a diet going on and tips about healthy eating change daily.
When you are suffering from Diabetes, it is especially important to keep to a correct diet, so your condition will not become any worse.
Here are a few tips about general healthy eating and meal planning for diabetics:
Eating vegetables is good for you. Most vegetables can taste really great if you know how to cook them. So take the time to research recipes for them. Keep your vegetables varied – eat from all colours – each colour usually stands for a vitamin or ingredient that your body needs. So a rainbow of vegetables on your plate is good for you. Non-starchy vegetables are the best.

I have been T2 for over three years now, doing well, but I have a problem I have never heard of before. I take glucophage in the AM and PM and my AIC is at 6.1. Not bad at all.
The problem is...I always have low reading after meals, if I am at say 115 before a meal, I can eat small serving potatoes, meat, veggies, coffee with sweetener, even dessert and I will have smaller numbers after the me

Hi,
Yesterday, at the diabetes clinic (at my GPs surgery), I learnt a lot more. Particularly the dietician told me of a British diabetic who had to be checked in a US hospital for something like [i:500c0cef4c]deep vein thrombosis[/i:500c0cef4c]. He had, obviously, to tell the attending doctor that he was diabetic.
He was immediately asked what his “carbs” were (I don’t even know what carbs a

Hi,
My diabetes specialists recommend that I take my blood sugar levels (and blood pressure) once a day in the following pattern.
Day 1 - before breakfast, Day 2 - after breakfast, Day 3 - before lunch, Day 4 - after lunch, Day 5 - before supper and Day 6 - after supper - and then repeat. (After meals means 2 hours after food.)
This seems reasonable as it should produce a valid sampling a

It seems that many people confuse between T1 and T2 diabetes, so I'll do my best to explain the difference.
People who suffer from Type 1 diabetes (also knows as T1 diabetes), do not produce enough insulin, or don't produce insulin at all, and as a result have problems in using the carbs they eat. Such people must inject insulin in order to keep themselves a live.
People who suffer from Typ

Is there a relation between the average blood sugar level read on the meter and the result of an A1c?
In the past 2 months I dropped my average from 9.8 to 6.1mmol on my glucometer. I am not due for a A1c for another month so I am curious. Last time it was 7 so I expect that the next one will be more around 5.5 to 6??

My control improved... at last. I've been working very hard for the past 2 months. On my meter, the average dropped from over 9 mmol to 6.3mmol. I'll have my A1c later this week. But the best news is that I can drop completely the acarbose ( from 3 a day to 0 ) and cut down 1mg of Repaglinide ( from 4mg to 3mg) at each meal. Of course that also means that I have to stay at 15 to 20 grams o

I have to agree with Gemstone - genes play a major rule in this.
Yes - some people might become diabetic due to pumping sugar (I know someone that got it by drinking carrot juice several times a day - would you belive this??) bu

Hi guys. I posted this on the sugarland blog and thought I would share it here.
I read what you said about your son, and yes it is wrong to assume that all T2's are overweight or obese. What is the bigger concern here is exercise. Your cells have insulin receptors on the outside of them. Insulin binds to them and a chain reaction occurs bringing glucose transporters to the cell surface in order

At the beginning, I was avoiding to tell people with whom I was having a meal that I have diabetes and was trying to stick to my diet without them noticing too much. Now, I don't hesitate and tell as anyway, I have pills to take with the first bite of the meal. The first question is always: Are you on insulin? When I say yes, insulin and pills, I get that *so sorry* look as of course,

How did everyone fair with the food and chocolate and family this weekend?
I cant resist chocolate...its like a drup....mhhmmmm i love it! I guess in a way being a T1 is a bit easier because if I know how many carbs it has then I can just give insulin to compensate. Although it still doesnt help the fact that diabetes gain weight like it aint no thang!

I just found out today that I have Type II Diabetes. I'm 32 years old.
It didn't come as a surprise. I had been feeling the symptoms for the last six months but was in denial and as a college student, I don't have health insurance, so I didn't go to the doctor.
Finally, a condition developed that I couldn't ignore. The blood test was run and my glucose level was 260.

Argh... I don't know what happened today but I had chocolate. The real kind, not sugar free, and it was darn good at the time! But, of course, now I feel guilty and awful... and I was doing so well! *sigh*
I've started running again and am still keeping up with weights at the gym 5 days a week, still taking my insulin -- even had a nice salad for lunch. Then - BAM! I ate my nephews chocolate
