Previous to his diagnosis, he was a guy who enjoyed what food or drink he wanted, when he wanted. Now, that sounds like he's super gluttonous, but actually he doesn't often over do it. He just really enjoys his soft drinks and juices. He's not even a really big dessert person. He is heavy for his height, and is working on losing it.   Since his diagnosis, he is has been... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/94037/34000/learning http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/94037/32711/encouraging Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:36:19 -0400 i'm with him My husband had an appointment with a diabetic dietician today at the diabetic clinic.

We've received his diagnosis and we've been working on educating ourselves, which is piece-y at best. Tomorrow, my husband goes to his first class - Ontario Health Insurance provides these diabetic education classes to learn about nutrition, exercise and measuring glucose levels.   Over the last week or more we've just been doing our best at guessing what is good... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/94037/32628/education http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/94037/32354/diagnosis-connect Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:24:47 -0400 i'm with him My husband was recently diagnosed with type II - Friday, June 27. We've shed a few tears together, but we are committed to working together to make the adjustments that will allow to continue a happy and healthy life. I'm happy to have found this online community. I am hoping that we can connect with some other people, who are young in particular - or who have had diabetes since you've been young, that are living with this so that we can share... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/94037/32354/diagnosis-connect
