I’ve been a diabetic for about 5 months. I currently use a Contour because the Reps that visited me in ICU when I got diagnosed gave me one every time they came by. I also have a small stock pile o...

You're right, that 6% thing is the A1c, and I have to test my next one soon.
You can get yours at the doctor! The one calculated out of my meter never was correct... So they have a special measurement for that ; )
And indeed there are a lot of delicous recipes that are healthy! I want to focus on that, more : ) Well... I'm right now moving into a flat share, and I hope we'll cook there a bit more often together. During semesters, I mostly ate in the cafeteria...^^

- Thanks for your comment on my blog!
You sound quite brave and powerful! After so many struggles, many people would have given up and you are seeing things so positive! : )
No joke, I'll copy some of you're lines into my BS-Diary to keep myself motivated.
I guess until now I have been quite undecisive, but I want to change that!
I must admit, I love cake. And I still haven't got rid of eating too much of that stuff, but I want to keep that choice you spoke of in my mind everyday.
Seriously!
When I was diagnosed (at age 9) I first was very disciplined and ate no sweets at all.. The frustration just came later. But I think you're right that one CAN motivate teens, too. I have often thought about, how. But focusing on keeping fit instead of "You have to manage a serious disease now" is a very good idea, I think.

- Holy cow, I can't believe you are from Arlington. My husband grew up in Crowley. I lived in the DFW area for 15 years before moving to Seattle.....then on to Auckland New Zealand. Such a small world!
