I know that if they put it in front of me enough times I will eat it in small amounts eventually. I was DKA in Nov 2011 so my co-workers are the opposite with me. They all keep asking if "I CAN…"

Hello all, I have been trying to eat as I should and exercise 5 to 6 times a week for a little over 60 days now. I have my low carb meals and two snacks planned out almost every week day. I have not lost a single pound but I have lost 1 inch around my too thick waist and my too skinny legs are gaining some muscle. As a vegetarian and a type 1 D, I feel isolated at work. My team mates always ops for fast food if I suggest going out to lunch if I do not want what I bagged for lunch that day.…See More
Sarah Keech replied to Michelle's discussion 'Sites other than stomach?' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"You can try that stubborn bit of fat most people refer to as the love handles areas. This area works better for me with shorter cannulas."
Molly commented on Sarah Keech's blog post 'excited about fitting a regular fitness routine into my life again/'"For me, exercise is the key. I can manipulate my BG by jumping on the treadmill.

I know a lot of you can relate to this blog entry. We try to start working out regularly but then sometime around the holiday season we get the yearly bug that goes around. We get knocked out of our routine and begin to see working out as drudgery rather than a great way to feel better about ourselves and relieve stress. Then we become busy with all the holiday stuff. Last December my mother alos had a serious surgery which she is thankfully slowly recovering from. She is not diabetic so it is…See More
Sarah Keech commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Single Diabetics'"I am also living in a new city away from my friends and family alone. I have one or two friends here so far and my dogs.

Sarah Keech replied to Marci's discussion 'T Slim Inuslin Pump' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"This looks very interesting. It is so difficult to wear a dress with the minimed I used to have or the animus ping I now have. I have site issues where I need to change my pump site a little more often so an Omnipod would not work for me. I would…"

Sarah Keech replied to Colorado's discussion 'One Touch Ultra Error 5' in the group OneTouch Users"Yes. "Error 5" is very irritating.

Stoyan commented on Sarah Keech's blog post 'Cure For Diabetes Books? What Gives?'"Yes, it seems like there is a number of them out there. While I don't believe in shooting all possibilities at first glance, the reality though, unfortunately, is that currently there is no known cure for type 1."

I was diagnosed with diabetes before my fifth birthday. I was a skinny kid who fell asleep on the floor all the time in class. Being an undiagnosed diabetic made me tired all the time. During the 70s, hospitals did not know how to deal with a toddler with this diagnosis. They would give me stuff to read. How many toddlers do you know who can read? I did not know I was sick and the hospital was a horrible experience. I thought the doctors were mean. Thirty some odd years later, I still have type 1. I am on the pump and I include exercise and cooking/eating what I make usu. from scratch everyday. Most restaurants just don't know how to cook great vegan diabetic friendly food. If it doesn't taste great, why eat it unless I have a low sugar. Exercise is a must for diabetes' emotional and physical aspects. I walk my dogs 1.3 miles a everyday. I do yoga, pilates, hiking and whatever else my friends are up for. Looking forward to learning more about the people in this worldwide community of diabetics. : )

Continue Cure For Diabetes Books? What Gives?
Posted on November 29, 2011 at 7:30pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
How do authors get away with naming books, "Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes without Drugs " by Dr. Neal Bernard or "There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21+ Day Program" by Dr. Cousens? If diet would make our bodies capable of producing the right amount of insulin, type 1s would have been doing this a long time ago. I keep running into people who say I can cure my type 1 because of these books with there…

Tracey said… - Thanks for getting back to me, Sarah. I've left a comment for Rebecca, so if she's not OK with using it then we won't. If we do use the photo, though, it will appear in our December issue. Just send me an e-mail (tneithercott@diabetes.org) with your mailing address and I can ship you out a copy of the issue when it prints.
Thanks! Tracey

- Sarah, I'm a writer with Diabetes Forecast and in an upcoming issue we're going to be featuring Terry Keelan. A photo he submitted includes you. If we decide to use that photo, is it OK with you that your photo appear in a print and possibly online edition of the magazine?
Thanks! Tracey Neithercott
