  • My favorite is Booster, which often gets shortened to Boost. Otherwise, Chris, Chrissy, Tina, X, Eccies, or shorty. Very rarely do people call my by my real name... and I kinda like it that way. :-)

  • Hey Ladies. I've been a T1 diabetic since I was 10. It's tough but it's doable. If you are looking for help with you nutrition I would highly suggest meeting with a nutritionist, if you haven't already. I meet with mine every few months to go back over my diet, trouble shoot and make changes as necessary. There is no exact…

He pointed me to the Nike Pegasus sneaker and for the past 2 years I've been using them and I love them. They have a…

  • Hey, T1 diabetic here as well. I'm 28 and have been diabetic for 18 years and on a pump for over 10. I agree as a diabetic trying to lose weight seems like an uphill battle, you do well, exercise and eat right and then at 4am you wake up sweating and needing to eat, and I tend to binge... I've been struggling with the…

  • I always count the juice or glucose tabs I take for a low. I figure it is still calories going into my body. I hate that it eats into my daily calorie/carb count but as people with diabetes we have that added burden to losing weight. But it's still possible. I agree that if you are having frequent lows to talk to you…

  • If it's chocolate or sweet that you crave, I've started buying the sugar free or low fat jello pudding cups. The sugar free ones are 60 calories and the low fat I think you can find for around 100 calories. They have different flavors and they tend to satisfy my sweet craving without busting my calorie count for the day.…
