"Great request, Sarah. I could use such a menu. I eat protein-filled foods, but still have a low protein count."

Grams of protein
I know many vegan and vegetarians are tired of hearing where do you get your protein. I am not going to ask this question. I eat a vegan diet and that is why I am in this group. I have been having trouble incorporating enough protein in my diet lately. I would like to ask this group for examples of your meal pleans. The rule of thumb is that you need 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram you weigh. I need about 43 to 44 grams of protein per day. It you are very athletic meaning you work out…See More

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. : )

trouble dolls

Trouble dolls are little dolls that come in a little wood box. I think they are from South America but not exaclty sure. I had a box my mother gave me when I was small. I asked every single doll every single night to take my diabetes away. Now over 3 decades later it has not happened yet. Where is that cure I was told when I was 5 would be around in about 5 years?
diet & exercise

I had half a donut and a cookie today. I skipped my protein exchange for breakfast so my calories would not go overboard with the cookie I knew I was going to have. A co-worker brought in donuts and a chocolate donut just seemed to be just so tasty that my resolve broke and I cut one in half and ate half. I wonder if I have very much will power with sweets at all. I just have not been buying much at home so I will stay away from them. I have still been woring out regularly. I took a pic of…

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…
excited about fitting a regular fitness routine into my life again/

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…

Are you still into Veganism

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

Thanks! Tracey Neithercott
