LOL! I don't know why I decided to make this list, since I have nothing to hide I thought I would blog about My 7 "Bad" Habits as a Diabetic. I am not perfect and if anyone with diabetes say they are, you should play "knock, knock" on their head to make sure their brain is still there, lol. ...

    Hi!

    I don't have sweets or carby snacks, don't eat them, don't want them. Easier to stay on track, and keep levels down to near 'normal' . About the only 1 we share is the preaching, and I too am trying to do better. If asked ( how much time to do you have?) I will gladly explain how I keep my A1C at 5.3, but since I don't like to be nagged at I'm sure others don't so I'm trying to hush when I see a diabetic friend put M & M's in her mouth. But it's hard! 

    Hugs,

    Gracie

    5.3 that's awesome! I cut reese's out about a week ago...lol it's not a hard thing to do:) I for some reason I went through a Reese's spell; I am glad that's the only candy I do like.  I am bad about preaching I am getting better. I offer my opinion only when asked.  I do provide websites for people if they ask.

    Thanks! I have told people when they ask how I can resist candy, "It's easy, I love my toes, on my feet. Keeping my BGLS under control is one thing I can do to keep them there". I have known too many diabetics who have died by inches, I'm going to do all I can to make sure that doesn't happen to me.

    Hugs,

    Lets rephase it. To, The 7 Death Wishes. and to make it worse, it is going to be a long painfull death if you don't get a grip on Diabetes. Visit http:/www.myspace.com/43yrsjuvenilediabeticlife and see if you can get an image of whats waiting for you when 7 bad habits take there toll. Don't get scared , get real.

    Hope this helps, have a happy Holiday season and be Diabetic Good.

    It is not easy to be Diabetic but it is a lot harder to live with the consequences. I have been fortunate to have a wonderful medical team and they have really helped me keep my a1c at about 5.0.

    I get really frustrated at people who have had family members lose limbs, sight etc and still don't take diabeties seriously.
