Thanks SO VERY MUCH for your input on this issue! I am trying to keep a really cool head about this but I also love to be outside to exercise on sunny days and the news that I hear just makes me confused about the facts that are floating around? T...

Recently I have been having a cold bug that has lasted for about 2 weeks now and I am so much better than I was 2 days ago! It was a huge struggle but I got the flu shot this last Winter and that made it easier for me to be on the mend. Thank-God!...

Anything that I can buy from the thrift store. I get all of my supplies there. It is so much easier than getting them at the fabric store. I only buy a special fabric from the store and that is to give it a twinkle when you look at it a certain wa...

When I come from the hospital with a bad A1c, I would try to turn it around and become more focused. I usually feel better after having spoken with someone about the whole D thing, because it would've been months since I had last spoke about it to...

Dabetes and H1N1 in MA.... I am a little scared...

For the last two days I have been dealing with the emotional ups and downs of my A1c's coming back with a bad result after I has the blood test. My kidney meds are going to go up 10mg. and to be honest, I don't like it at all because my whole goal was to be off kidney meds by this month.

Traveling with Diabetes...

My personal dream is to travel more with Diabetes but is hard at times because taking long drives (2 hours or more) on the road I can get dizzy? I do take water with me and I also try to sometimes bring a protein bar but I do sometimes still get a little tired from the long drives? Any good tips that you might be able to share? Help?
