Wow- food??? What is that- I have no idea what I really consumed this week besides dinner from last night. We were at a wedding- so it was beans, potatoes, chicken, steak and salad. Beans were good! Otherwise- I have no clue. This week was a blurr. I know I had several salads and tuna […]
My sugar checks have been wonderful as of this week. They have been between 80 and 96 and I am feeling good! Haha. I have been doing a lot of protein and a heck of a lot of water and I know it makes no physiological sense, but when I drink more water- meaning about […]
I found this a bit interesting…
Trans-fatty acids have been the topic of a lot of negative health news, but a new dietary study in rats suggests that trans-fats do not increase the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes, which may ease at least one area of concern.
This shows that our muscles can utilize the trans […]
A Pacemaker like device to help one lose weight? This type of machine/mechanism has been around since 2005 and has been hit or miss in the past. This summer Dr. Ikramuddin plans to implant a device like such in up to 30 volunteers as part of an international research study.

A study with very mixed results was published earlier in the week. Lowering your bloodsugars may not protect against heart disease but will help with kidney disease down the road. This from the American Diabetes Association…

Ok, this week has been soooo long! My bloodsugars, 2 hr post, have been anywhere from 89-115. Not bad. I am having a hard time with food as of late- still!!!! I do not know what has happened to me and my sensible ways. I was better this week, but didn’t eat enough fruits and […]
Here is some scary news for you… diabetics and high blood pressure. Doctors are not sure when to treat their patients even when posing and increased risk for advanced heart disease by being a diabetic.
But a new study finds that even when people with diabetes show up in their doctor’s office with a high blood […]
Erectile dysfunction is always a matter of the heart, but new research shows that more than romance is at stake. Two new studies of men with type 2 diabetes found that erectile dysfunction (ED) was a powerful early warning sign for serious heart disease, including heart attack and death.
The good news is that cholesterol-lowering medications […]
Journal time… I am a bit more back on track. My 2 hour post sugars have been between 90-120, so a little higher but down from last week- thanks goodness! I have to admit, I am having a hard time staying on track with my food. It is really annoying me too!!
I know what I […]
