  • Really good shoes and ice.
  • Healing is impaired by diabetes. That is why getting and keeping your blood sugar under control is critical. Knowing if you are type 1 or type 2 is critical. I would follow up with your doctor asap. Also get into a diabetes education class. I also like http://www.diabetes.org.
  • I like cherries and berries. Also Cottage cheese......I like Nancy's low fat cultured. Has a tang way more than normal cottage cheese.
  • Hello kalikiwi6, Hope things are going well with you. How is the weight loss and diabetes control going? I continue to make progress on weight loss and control. I need to step up my exercise. That is my goal for the next week.

  • I go for a walk and listen to an audio book. I still want my favorite stress food but at least I am not around it. :)
  • I like my Fitbit Charge. I have had it three days and it is helping me get in my steps. I am wondering if I should track non-step exercise.

  • Its been awhile but I was taught no more than 45-60 carbs per meal and 15-30 for each snack...eating every 4-5 hours, not sure if that is still recommended.
  • Hi. I appreciate everyone's posts. I have had Type 2 diabetes for years. I have been in good control off and on. Lately, I have been way out of control. Work has been so stressful and have had 2 family members in the hospital at the same time for heart surgery/heart failure and other major stressors. Then this week my…
