Is Dietary Fiber Beneficial in Diabetes?

Posted on December 31, 2008 at 6:55am 3 Comments

What is the evidence that dietary fiber from whole foods and dietary supplements is beneficial in diabetes? Based on the current data, diets providing 30 to 50 g fiber per day from whole food sources consistently produce lower serum glucose levels compared to a low-fiber diet. Fiber supplements providing doses of 10 to 29 g/day may have some benefit in terms of glycemic… Continue

1200 Calorie Menu day 4 - Fast Food

Posted on November 16, 2008 at 3:29pm 33 Comments

Last year I added "email counseling" to my nutrition practice. Best thing I ever did. People are far more open and honest when they don't have to stare a dietitian in the face. The most frequently asked question is "What can I eat at a fast food restaurant and still lose weight?". …

Do you want to Improve your Blood Sugar? Go Vegan

Posted on November 1, 2008 at 7:23am 2 Comments

Studies show both vegan and ADA diets improve blood glucose and blood lipids in Type 2 people with diabetes. However, improvements were greater with a vegan diet. The study resulted in decreased medication, body weight, LDL, urinary albumin and hemoglobin A1c. Portion sizes and total daily calories were unrestricted on the vegan plan.



So what exactly is a vegan meal plan?



A vegan meal plan is plant-based and consists of… Continue

Insulin - No Prescription Needed

Posted on October 30, 2008 at 7:20am 0 Comments

I have been extremely concerned about the amount of people that are not getting their insulin because they think they must have a prescription. You do not need a prescription to purchase NPH and Regular insulin except in Alaska.



This is a result of the economy and misinformation. Most people believe a prescription is required for insulin and if they can't afford to see their doctors, they will stop taking their insulin - this has… Continue

Diana, thanks for the info. I like to Omnipod, but I have never used any other pump. It has some things that could be improved on but I hear they upgraded the software so it will now work with Windows Vista. I am working on becoming a trainer and have checked into the website you recommended. Thanks again, Denise

Hi Diana, it is good to see someone on this site for support of a loved one. The reason I am writing is to ask about becoming a trainer for omnipod. I wear the omnipod, and I am a RN (critical care) who has to change jobs due to a neck injury from biking. I spoke to my omnipod rep who told me I can be a trainer for the pump and she would give me a contract to work as a contract person. I am looking for any other training/education jobs and any advice would be most appreciated. Could you give me an idea of how the pump trainer works. I would like to be a diabetic educator, however they require a cert. that takes working for a couple yrs as an educator first. I do not use this site all that often, but I noticed your comment on the omnipod and it's concerns, just curious what your are ref. to specifically. Thanks. Denise

DIANA, I have an idea to celebrate INSULIN APPRECIATION DAY, JULY 30, how about a buffet display and call it AMIGO MOSAIC FEAST.? Since diabetes crosses all barriers,why not make a buffet displaying foods those of different backgrounds, medical conditions or disabilities, I am looking for suggestions and ideas? Keep In Touch clarence.haynes@sympatico.ca

I am a computer rookie who at 91 is finding out a new way to share my being insulin-dependent since1977,and a ROLE MODEL to over 40.000 diabetics by being ahappy diabetic that walks the walk and talk the talk. Being a member of TuDiabetes, every morning I look to see new members and what countries they belong. i seek out areas, that might latest diabetes prevention informaton, and I ask them "WHAT DO THEY NEED TO IMPROVE THEIR DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM" also "What do you know? As an diabetes educator, you should know that JULY 30 is INSULIN APPRECIATION DAY. To show my appreciation,for INSULIN giving me a healthy lifestyle, I will be contacting insulin-users, worldwide, to join me, in silence JULY 30 and give THANKS for this CANADIAN















Greetings from INSULIN CITY, TORONTO, ONTARIO,CANADA, where insulin was discovered by DRS.BANTING & BEST, JULY 30 1921. To show my appreciation for this CANADIAN "MEDICAL MIRACLE" giving me a healthy lifestyle since 1977, when I was clinically dead, in BOSTON, with BS of 880, with my "second chance", so far have been a ROLE MODEL,reaching over 40.000.Iwill be asking insulin users, worldwide,to join me, in silence, and give THANKS, on JULY 30, INSULIN APPRECIATION DAY. Check out www.restorethebantinghomestead,com AMIGOS will be selling BLUE ROSES, AS A FUND RAISER to turn the homestead into a diabetic camp for children. and we used this flower because one if its meanings, "ATTAINING THE IMPOSSIBLE" is our motto. I have a program call AMIGOKIT, it is novel way of networking and form a diabetes social group. You must call 5 DIABETICS, EVERYDAY, it serves 2 purposes, let someone know you CARE, and also could SAVE A LIFE. I am willing to share experiences and 91 years of wisdom with friends. clarence.haynes@sympatico.ca
