My children keep my sugars well under control…

Since I am in such a sharing mood today- I will share what my weekend entailed. I awoke at 5:30 each day to attend and coach the younger -10 and under kids on our swim team at the Championships for the county. Among the swimmers- which only the top 18 in each stroke and age […]

Journal 6/29/08- I am a porker this week!

This week was horrible for food- and I mean bad. I have yet to get to the store so it has been nasty finger food and easy grabbing- and not the nutritious kind!
Bloodsugars- between 62-115. Up and down…

Would you use Cannabis, LSD or ‘magic mushrooms’ to help with diabetic ailments?

My most trafficked post ever came just last weekend… Ecstasy, LSD, magic mushrooms and Cannabis aids diabetics ailments. Yes, funny huh? But my question to you is this- do you agree with using ‘natural medications’ such as Pot to help treat diabetes?

Yes I would use such ‘natural remedies’

For me no, but if others choose to […]
