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.

[size=14:31920b369f][b:31920b369f]Hi,
I was only diagnosed as diabetic in December 2005.
Although my local general practice has a dedicated diabetes nurse and two GPs spcializing in diabetes I do have a couple of questions.
My blood sugar meter is set by default to the same units the hospital used, mmol/L (milimoles per litre?). The other possibilty is mg/dL (miligrams per decilitre?). Is

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

I'll be having Retinal photography screening for the first time this Friday.
Looking forward to it as i do like to know how i'm doing and like to get test results in the hope that i can try and avoid long term complications.
Has anyone else had this test? and how does everyone else feel about testing/screening?
I know that some people dont like all the prodding and scrutinizing of themselves.

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

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.

It is always good when diagnosed with diabetes to eat right and stay active. We sometimes forget that eating right and staying active aren't always the only things that we should be doing to keep our bodies healthy. Taking the right viatmins are also key to staying healthy, and what a better way than taking vitamins that are made from whole foods. It's becoming all to common to find syntheticly
