TuDiabetes videochat with Dr. Steve Parker
In the Winter of 2009, Dr. Parker was looking for step-by-step instructions for instituting a "diabetic Mediterranean diet." Why? He is an internal medicine physician with many type 2 diabetic patients. People with type 2 diabetes are prone to premature heart attacks, strokes, dementia, and death. The traditional Mediterranean diet is associated with lower rates of those illnesses, along with increased lifespan. So a combination "diabetic" and "Mediterranean" diet seemed like a great idea. So Dr. Parker created the Diabetic Mediterranean Diet Blog.

Believe this or not, an Emergency Room nurse told me about eating cheese for low blood sugars. I have tried it for a slight low (50's or 60's) and it has worked. I bellieve it must be the high protein & fat in cheese that makes it work?? If I drop dramatically low (20's or 30's), then I drink OJ and eat a piece of bread w/peanut butter. I do have the glucose tabs which I carry in my purse.

@Cheryl: Cheese to fix lows? Cheese contains little amounts of carbs. Thus it will be useless to treat lows. Have you ever thought about glucose tabs?

I have been told to eat cheese when my blood sugar drops...is that a faster fix than drinking OJ?
