Starting over again
Good evening. My name is Jillian and I'm trying to get back into the habit of being healthy again. I feel like I've really slacked off on being mindful of what I eat. I started logging my food last week and I'm hoping to find some friends to help keep me on track. I turn 30 next month. I also have a four year old and I…

Favorite Brand of Coffee
Just wondering... what is your favorite brand of coffee? And how do you take it? Trader Joe's has a french roast that is fair trade and organic that I absolutely love. Folder's also has one that is sugar cookie flavored that I adore too. I usually drink my coffee black so I enjoy the flavored coffees quite a bit. I'm…

Scheduling blood work
Just out of curiosity, at what time do you usually schedule blood work for? I am not a morning person so I really hate to have to wake up early to have it done. But since we have to fast (all diabetics do, right?) it makes the most sense. However, the last few times I’ve been setting the appointments for my lunch hour.…

insulin NSV for me :)
I was checking through my daily totals for the last week or so and noticed my daily insulin amounts were between 21 and 36. And for those of you who have seen my food diary know it's pretty carb heavy. (My BG has been equally as great. The highest was actually this morning at 168.)

How low is too low?
Are their damaging side effects for low blood sugar? I'm not taking about passing out low but right now my blood sugar is 52. Other than a weak feeling, I don't have any other side effects. I wear a pump and CGM so I can watch it closely, but what I really wanted to know is, is there any damaging side effects to my body…

questions about allergies
Since I am a new vegan, I have a question about allergies. When you get seasonal allergies, what do you take for it? I am very anti-medication so I've always used local, raw honey for several days to compate it. This fall I got lucky and didn't have any issues with allergies. If I do this spring, what should I do or take?

celebrating 18 years
I recently hit my 18 year anniversity of this disease this past week. I can't believe I'm still alive, have all my body parts (thankfully), and have the best numbers I've ever had. =) For those of you who have friends who want to know what it's like to be you, tell them to be a T1D for a day. ;)…

tofu soup
Has anyone tried tofu veggie soup? I ordered it for lunch. Then I was told this particular place is only so-so about the taste. Apparently I should go ask a co-worker to make it, since she does it the best. Anyone else have a recipe for it? Or know a place that they like it from?

How much avacado is too much?
I seem to be on an avocado binge lately. I’ll eat anywhere from 2 little ones to 2 very large ones a day. I was wondering how much is too much? I know they are a great source of fiber and healthy fats. Can it be bad to eat too much of the good fats? Thanks, Jillian

I have an addiction to peanut butter
Is there any way to stop my addiction to peanut butter? I cannot go more than a few hours without it, let alone a whole day. I am totally fine eating by the spoonful. I don't need other food without it. I know its bad. If I ever had a kid with a peanut allergy, I'd give up my kid before I would my peanut butter. Its so odd…

For those of you who have kids...
...where can I buy a sand box at? And where do I get sand at? I want a pretty large sandbox for the backyard. I remember having a green plastic one in the shape of a turtle but I know it was way too small for us. And sometimes when I babysit, I see sand tables. But I really want a large box to dig in (for my dogs, not me).…

Does plate color or shape affect appetite?
I was wondering if plate color or shape affects appetite? Somewhere I thought I heard that the size does. For example, If you have a smaller plate then it tricks your brain into thinking that you have already eaten a lot?
