I can relate. Here is a blog post that I wrote this summer. I find that connecting with other diabetics (online) helps me a lot. It's a daily reminder that I am not alone. In fact, I feel that I know so many diabetics now that perhaps non-diabeti...

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 doctor who listens to me and sends me great respon...

you should carry some sugar free gum...when you get an urge to dip in the candy jar for something sweet, pull out a piece of gum. it will last you way longer than that stupid piece of taffy that haunts you.

Good Job! I think that blogging about your experiences as well as reading others' blogs will help you to keep up your new 'attitude'. I love having TuD as a resource for help and motivation!

One of the things to keep in mind is that everyone's body/system isindividualized so that what works for one may not work for another. The best way to figure out what works for you is by testing and trial and error. By testing frequently after eat...

Hey Joe. This stuff is hard isn't it?? :) I guess if it were easy we wouldn't need this website and I wouldn't have met so many wonderful people, so maybe some good things come out of it too huh? Do yourself a favor and try to spend some extra tim...

Today is the beginning of the rest of my life ( Healthier life anyways )

So I have made the decision to truly put myself forward and take control of my diabetes. I have always viewed myself as a strong willed person but one of my major weaknesses has been keeping up with my diabetes. I have gotten in little spurts of taking care of it and then i will see a high BG level and it just kills me.. so i stop trying to fix it.. out of sigh out of mind right? Well no more of that. I am not going to try to fix it all at once like i have before. As it has been suggested here i… Continue
