Kelly WPA replied to lil JT's discussion 'Eating or NOT eating, that is the question!'"I think as a society, we put too much emphasis on food. I do have 2 concerns with what you are doing though. You said you don’t treat a low with food. Do you at least treat a low with glucose tablets like Jeska does? There is nothing wrong…"
Rae replied to lil JT's discussion 'Eating or NOT eating, that is the question!'"Although I do eat, I feel the same way about food. Could take it or leave it. If there was a wonder pill that would substitute for a meal and give you all the nutrients and satisfy your hunger, I would so take it. I do feel crappy if I don't…"
Natalie ._c- replied to lil JT's discussion 'Eating or NOT eating, that is the question!'"I understand having food issues, and not wanting to eat, but hunger always gets the best of me, LOL!! I'm a picky eater, so my food choices are somewhat limited. And I know from experience that you don't need to eat a LOT, but you DO need…"
Anonymous Diabetic replied to lil JT's discussion 'Eating or NOT eating, that is the question!'"Hi JT and whatever your doing who cares? The question is, are you happy with your blood sugars? I have a friend who was diagnosed with a condition (I can't remember the name of it) but the bottom line is he does not get the signal that…"
lil JT replied to Annette's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"You sound like a sweet person. I will talk with you whenever you may feel alone! Maybe we could help each other!"
lil JT replied to lizard's discussion 'When did it set in?'"You have plenty of justification for being upset!

lil JT replied to lil JT's discussion 'Eating or NOT eating, that is the question!'""habit" is the perfect word. My meal consists of many carbs and it is just before I go to sleep at night. I do wear the pump but I don't us it like I should, when my sugar gets low I do treat it but with as little food as possible. I…"
Brunetta replied to lil JT's discussion 'Eating or NOT eating, that is the question!'"Just questions, Jeska and Lil Jt, R U afraid to eat because it may raise you from your pre-determined basal level ? Do you just not want to be bothered with the constant vigilance? If you do not eat much or eat a very restriited diet, You do not…"
Brian replied to lil JT's discussion 'Eating or NOT eating, that is the question!'"I take almost the exact opposite approach in that I eat throughout the day. Lots of small snacks between meals. I never skip meals. I burn a ton of calories so I need to be eating a lot. I find that smaller meals and snacking keeps BG more…"
"I understand the idea of eating or not eating when it comes to diabetes....but in the end we all know that eating something is always the best thing for us. You have to find some healthy low-carb things that you enjoy eating during the day. I admit…"
