Vegan Aurora replied to KrabbyKelly's discussion 'Goal for bedtime blood sugar' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"I'm so sorry that you're getting confrontation and not support. I should have clarified. I don't eat any grains, cereal grain, and sadly not much fruit. The meat will NOT raise your glucose levels, but it does contribute to other…"

Vegan Aurora commented on Vegan Aurora's blog post 'Dear Body,'"Thanks, acidrock23.
Actually, I'm the gentle player. I can't find anyone who just wants to knock the ball around for fun. I only know people who want to keep score or show off on the court. There is one person who enjoys a good volley like…"

acidrock23 commented on Vegan Aurora's blog post 'Dear Body,'"Re tennis, I had studied Tae Kwon Do a few years ago at a school that was non-competitive, in that we didn't keep score, have sparring "contests" or anything like that. We read several interesting books on the subject (e.g. Alfie…"

Whilst waiting to get my first appt with the endo, I'm attempting to keep my numbers between 85 and 140. On days when the glucose is high, I feel great - full of energy. On days when it is low, I feel sloppy, stupid, useless.

Dear Body,
I want to let you know how very much I appreciate you. Mom and Dad gave you a wonderful height and lovely dark brown hair with all its radiant hues. Over time, your eyes have grown greener like Mom's.

Just wanted to say... I've been vegan for thirteen years, and dx t1d for six years. I tried going gluten free and all organic for five months about a year before I was dx because of symptoms that it of course didn't help. I didn't have any honeymoon post dx- had high insulin needs and unstable numbers from the get go.
