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 […]
So the scale has not moved any more but it is steady and I will take that. My BS have been good- between 85-100. I am checking my BS 2 hrs post dinner and checking a fasting BS every other day. My most recent labs were awesome and that made me very happy. A1c was […]
New Yorkers will now be in the know. A new rule requiring all New York chain restaurants to post calorie information on their menus took effect this past Friday. I think that this is great!
In a world where the lack of time, and often bad choices, lead us to food on-the-go, and where obesity, […]
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 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…
My scale is the same which is good considering I porked out this week. Exercise.. none- and I […]
Boy oh boy- what a week. Lets see… I passed out at work due to a bloodsugar of 38- go figure. It was AFTER I ate lunch and was back on the floor/nursing. What the heck is all I have to say? Thanks goodness I am a nurse and my fellow nurses didn’t freak out […]
