    Guiltless Indulgences

    Guiltless indulgences might sound like a contradiction in terms. But it's not -- as long as we control how much we indulge ourselves.Recently I have been researching some of those sweet foods that are usually off limits but we can now buy or prepare with non-caloric sweeteners. Almost since I learned in 1994 that I have diabetes I've avoided even... Read moreChevron

    And now there’s green stuff

    I have frequently been in restaurants that have containers at each table containing packets of sweeteners: the white ones contain sugar, pink is saccharin, and blue is aspartame. I happen to like the yellow stuff: sucralose itself is white, but the packets are yellow, and so I somewhat illogically call the product by the color of its packaging:... Read moreChevron

    The WaveSense Blood Glucose Meter

    Since I'm no longer on my pump, I have the freedom to search for a new meter of any brand!  I think I'm gonna try a couple of meters and see how each fits into my lifestyle and more importantly how it operates!     I'm starting with the WaveSense, since they were kind enough to leave a comment about the cost of their strips, and I... Read moreChevron

    The Debate: Diabetic Or Person With Diabetes?

    As a caregiver who is fairly new to the world of diabetes, it wasn't until recently that I realized that there was a debate over whether one was "a diabetic" or "a person with diabetes."

    Are You a Noncompliant Diabetic?

    When we don't get our blood glucose levels low enough or take the diabetes medicine that our doctors prescribe, they often complain about our noncompliance. Particularly when we follow a very low-carb diet and are unlucky enough to have a nutritionist on our medical team, she is almost certain to give us a hard time. When doctors and... Read moreChevron
