Sugar used to be banned for people with diabetes. Already in the seventies it has been discovered that sugar does not have to be forbidden, but there are still misunderstandings. This is because there are many factors that play a role in diabetes and sugar itself is not the only source of food that affects the blood sugar levels.

Food gives you energy, the fuel for your body. The amount of energy in certain food products is represented in calories or kilojoules and is mentioned as Kcal/g or kJ/g on the product information label. Calories are usually seen as "bad", but we need them - calories give the body fuel. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are the three most important nutrients that give us calories.

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.

It is very important for diabetics to have a meal plan. This is a scheme that tells them what kind of food they are allowed to eat and how much of it. This should fit your eating habits and daily routine. If it is followed, your blood sugar and pressure will improve, as will your cholesterol numbers. A good meal plan can help you loose weight or keep your existing one.

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.

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.

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

Hello ,
My name Chris Smith and I have type 1 Diabetes for 8 years now. I live in San Francisco having as much fun as possible, selling medical jewelry, and running a magazine.
Life is good, and diabetes does not slow me down until my sugars get raised due to stress.. and then watch out...
I look forward to adding more....

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

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.

Hello everyone. I am new to this site and have a question for you. I have had my ENDOCRINOLOGIST for 14 years now.

I want a printable sheet so I won't have to access the computer every time I have an info to add. I'd like to have space to write BG before and after meal, medication, food and notes. I am trying to make one myself but am not very good with the graphic programs.

Powdered sugar substitute
1 cup of splenda granulated
2 cups corn starch
2 cups powdered non-fat dry milk
Mix in a food processor or blender to whipped consistancy.
I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know if it's good. If you try it, let me know if it turns out!
