Avoid heavy carb foods with lots of fat as they are more difficult to gauge their effect on your blood sugar, at least to begin with (i.e giant plate of pasta or pizza). As you get more and…"

sebabella replied to Carly's discussion '1 Hour Spikes'"I would suggest testing at 2 hours as oppose to 1 hour for a more accurate measure of how your blood sugar is reacting to food. Better yet if you're so inclined one day, test every hour after you eat and track over time how much your blood…"

I am not a huge fan of running my BG up there but…"
sebabella replied to Samantha Schendzielos's discussion 'Yogurt and Blood Sugar. . .'"The plain Chobani is a particular favorite for me and it is very low carb. It is also good to add another food for flavor. I personally have it with Cheerios mixed in for breakfast."
sebabella replied to sebabella's discussion 'Should I just quit sports?'"Thank you for the suggestions. I'm certainly not going to complete take off my basal next time and keep glucose tabs just in case. I play again tomorrow with renewed confidence. My goal is 140-180 before the game and keep basal on, maybe a -15%…"
sebabella replied to lizard's discussion 'How Does This Happen???'"And as others have said, nobody is perfect and we'll all eat something we really shouldn't every once in a while. My suggestion is not to go to one extreme or the other. As in do not think you need to eat healthy every single meal and…"
sebabella replied to Negg's discussion 'Feeling all alone after a D episode'"Yes it is difficult. And as isolating as it may seem, it is important to recognize that in fact you're not alone. This site is a great example of this. What has helped me very much when it seems like my blood sugars are all over is to not…"
sebabella replied to Sara_Louise's discussion 'suport group topics'"I would say it is very important to hear what other members suggest. A good support group ought to encourage a dialogue and having everyone feel included in what is being discussed would all but guarantee this."

gene replied to sebabella's discussion 'Should I just quit sports?'"Diabetes does definitely does define us in many ways. A problem we're faced with is feeling that quitting something is failure, it's just a change. There are countless things that I miss, but I avoid because I feel happier knowing I'm…"

acidrock23 replied to sebabella's discussion 'Should I just quit sports?'"Hang in there, you can do it!
