  • Alliwan, do you have a recipe? I buy quart bottles of ranch for my grandchildren. I get my herb blend from a local restaurant who maintain that their recipe is proprietary.

    in Trouble with carb vs protein intake Comment by KeithF6250 January 2015
  • It's a matter of taste but my 1st choice for dressing is 1 tbl of olive oil, a generous sprinkle with an herb blend and about 1 tbl of wine vinegar. The oil is measured, the vinegar is shaken on to taste. Everything else is in 2nd place.

  • Florecita, I'm not the expert, I've only about 100 days into this journey but here is what is working for me up to this point.

    in First Cold Since Diagnosed Comment by KeithF6250 December 2014
  • I am fairly new to this (officially proclaimed T2D a month ago) and have only about 3 weeks worth of BG data recorded. I have been using MyFitnessPal to track food and exercise and software from Abbott Labs (maker of my BG meter) to track BG readings, a less than ideal solution. Today I have been reading about HealthVault…
