Hi Joe. Having a good doctor, whether a specialist or in my case, a great family doctor, is very important, not just for getting good advice but getting encouragement. I'm very fortunate to have a ...

Cut A1C in HALF!

John, I too was officially diagnosed in October with an A1C of 11.1. But, 3 weeks before the official diagnosis, I realized I was a diabetic and immediately changed my diet to a very low carb diet....

Average Readings or Individual Blood Sugar Level Readings?

I will be trying about half a cup of sliced strawberries tomorrow. I love strawberries and would gladly eat them over even and apple or banana. Part of me is just glad I can reintroduce some foods ...

Does your doctor have a clue?

I just checked healthwarehouse.com and for the Contour strips, they are $25 for 50. For the One Touch Ultra they are $28 per 50 and for the Freestyle Lite, they are $33 per 50. So, all are slightly...

I just checked healthwarehouse.com and for the Contour strips, they are $25 for 50. For the One Touch Ultra they are $28 per 50 and for the Freestyle Lite, they are $33 per 50. So, all are slightly more expensive than my Aviva strips but a heck of...

John, as I mentioned in an earlier reply, check out healthwarehouse.com. That is where I buy my strips for my Aviva. I believe the strips for the Aviva tend to be on the more expensive end of the available meters and if I bought them through a pha...

I also wanted to mention that I buy my own strips through healthwarehouse.com and my Accu-check Aviva strips are only $48 for two sets of 50. Normally, it would cost me $100 for 100 at Wal-mart. I am not even using my health insurance to help me p...

While I was only diagnosed about a month ago but started my low carb diet about 3 weeks before official diagnosis, my testing has been so good (average for last month 113 and for last week 110) that I know what I am eating is good for me, I am now...

After dx in March, 10.9 A1c 238 FBG I was not surprised but I was angry, I had a lot of the old data in my head from when my grandmother was diabetic and had a lot of that stuff to shake loose. My wife told me I had 2 days to feel sorry for myself...

Dan, I was diagnosed back on May 9, 2009. My BS reading was at 267 and A1c was 11. I immediately started on a very low carb diet, 15 grams or less per day. My BS came down from 267 to between 90 and 115 in less than 10 days. After just 6 months, ...

I don't know one diabetic who hasn't had moments of "I am not going to deal with this anymore" and does something to sabatoge themselves. It's almost "normal". Yet, we know what it does to our bodies, and we know that truly we are diabetics, but s...

That's great for you, Josee. But it's important to understand that a person with diabetes can do everything they're supposed to and still not be able to get off medication...........we don't need people feeling guilty that they're somehow doing so...

I can relate to both of these posts very much. And after many years of being a t2d, I found myself slipping once in a while and eating "like I wasn't a diabetic" out of frustration and resentment. Of course, that doesn't help anything. Lately, I t...
