Megan S replied to Kelly's discussion 'Eating healthy on the go!'"How is it going on the pod?
There are a few coffee shops/restaurants in my town that actually cater for low GI food. They have "health bread" on the menu, and I asked and it was low GI, so I had a toasted bacon and egg sandwich. I also…"
Zoe replied to Kelly's discussion 'Eating healthy on the go!'"I'm just returning from a quick 4 day trip cross-country and was concerned about my ability to control my blood sugar on the go and when several meals would be out of my control (wedding, eating at the resort, etc).

Kathy replied to Kelly's discussion 'Eating healthy on the go!'"Do you pretty much eat at the same places on the go? Then at least you could plan ahead from day to day, knowing what the carb counts are in advance, and then branch out from there. You can do it. Give yourself time."
NorCal T1 replied to Kelly's discussion 'Eating healthy on the go!'"My CDE told me to be really boring and stay close to home for the first week or so when adjusting to the pump. It takes some time to see how your body reacts to the pump as opposed to MDI. Use good judgement and keep close tabs on your carb counts…"

Kelly replied to Kelly's discussion 'Eating healthy on the go!'"Thanks! I guess it is just trial and error. I have breakfast figured out. It is when we are out and get fast food which is horrible it's tough."
Super_sally replied to Kelly's discussion 'Eating healthy on the go!'"I just like to choose low carb foods to go with. 30 - 45 carbs is not that low if you limit / remove the really high carb food items like bread, rice, pasta, potato.

I order through Medco/Express scripts so that it falls under the Rx deductible. I think the quarterly co-pay may be less too - once I meet the deductible, it's only $200/quarter. The Freestyle test strips use this same deductible too.
