  • I had some spaghetti squash caserole for lunch today. Bake your spaghetti squash, brownsome turkey sausage( I use honey suckle white hot italian sausage and remove the casings), add them together with some organic low sodium tomato basil sauce, about 1/2 cup of parmesan. Put everything into a baking dish, whisk 2 eggs,…

  • This is so true! I could eat the house down when I have a low and then wake up with a super high reading! My trick is honey...1 spoonful, wait 15 minutes and retest....it's working out much better for me

  • I'm not a fan of cauliflower either but noticed if I chop it in the food processor real fine that it kind of takes on the flavor of what I cook it with. I'm a juvenile diabetic so I use it to Keep my carbs under control.

  • I have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 10 years old, so 23 years now. At the age of 10 before being diagnosed I dropped 30 lbs rapidly, once I was put on insulin, I gained that weight back. When your blood sugar levels are out of control and you have an A1C reading of 12.5 your body is dumping all of your glucose…

  • I have checked, it would be cheaper and better coverage, but im not eligible because my husbands employer offers coverage. I am self employed and cant buy regular healthcare.

  • ya, i'm not one to eat my calories back- I just can't work that out in my head :) I think that I am going to change it to 1 lb per week and see how that works, I am ending my second week here. I lost 8 lbs my first week and nothing this week and I am thinking its due to not eating enough?

  • How do you like your pump? I have thought about it several times but keep chickening out! I take Humalog injections with my meals and lantus in the AM and PM. I haven't been great about keeping track of my blood sugar which I am trying to work on as well. I think its great that you have 2 kids! Did everything go OK with…
