Hello! My name is Donna and I found out today that I am officially a diabetic.
I am looking for other diabetics or caregivers of diabetics to share recipes. Any type of support or helpful hints are welcome.
I live with 2 diabetics, so I know a lot about this disease. My husband is currently on an insulin pump and I have to give my autistic brother 2 shots a day.
But...just because I am well-informed does not mean that I practice what I preach.
about diabetics...we are too sweet
I found out today that I am officially a diabetic. My A1C was 10.1.
A great friend suggested that I start a group and share recipes and whatever else is helpful. I do not take care of myself like I should because I always take care of others. But today is my new beginning! I have to get my health straight because my family needs me and I need them. So I am going to fix ME so I'll be around for a while...

My sugar has dropped the last 2 evenings at the same time. Last night it was 56 and tonight it was 59. I knew it, too.

Diabetes is one of those diseases that is angry, glad, depressionary, and hungry.
I have gotten to the point where I know what my blood sugar is by how I feel. It is strange but I rarely miss it by 10 on the meter.
Good luck - and BTW - Sugar Free Sweets don't necessarily help you with diabetes. Like the Murray Cookies - they have a higher carbohydrate number than the regular cookies.

I have also ventured into the Banana puddings with the sugar free vanilla wafers and sugar free puddings, but I really prefer merengue over whipped cream, Has anyone used the splenda to make merengue?

Everyone here is an editor, so feel free to blog anything you like. Recipes are always welcome. Especially during this season of "eating".
