| Insulin Pumps Are Revolutionary, but also Tried-and-True |
 For years, the 3.7 million people worldwide who depend on insulin to survive had no choice but to take daily insulin injections — sometimes more than ten a day. Today, we have the choice of using new technology that does away with the daily regimen of shots. It allows a continuous flow of insulin into the body, through a "pump."  |
| How to Recognize a Carb |
 Not sure what a carb is? Here's the basic definition: carbohydrate = the sugars and starches found in grains, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. This includes all sugary foods like sweets, fruit, and sugar itself, along with grains and starchy foods (pasta, potatoes, rice) that break down to glucose in your body. |

The First Year With Diabetes
It is now just over a year since I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I'm doing
well. There have been a few ups and downs. but overall, I've been very fortunate. I've
learned alot over the past year and many things have changed as a result of this disease.
I'm sure many of you can relate to this.
A disease like diabetes can take over your life if you let it and I have tried not to let
it do that. It was a little overwhelming at first......with the testing, the medication and the
changes in diet, but I have come to learn that it is manageable and a normal life can still
be had.
I am blessed with supportive family, friends and now a supportive boyfriend also.
To my family and friends, this disease is well-known as so many of them have it also.
We often discuss foods we eat, the different meds we take, and share recipes and tips
too. They have all been a big help to me. My boyfriend is sixteen years older than me
and at 59 years of age, has no health issues at all. He doesn't even get a cold. So, I
have had to explain this disease to him. He's been great about it. He asks questions
and wants to understand what I have to go through every day to manage this disease.
I am very grateful for all the support I receive from everyone in my life.
I don't know why, but I find myself looking around at people more now when I am
in a grocery store or restaurant or at work and dealing with customers; and I find myself
wondering how many of them have diabetes. It is an unnoticeable disease and so many
Americans have it. I pray every day that a cure is found and future generations will not
suffer from this disease, but it also makes me feel better that I am not alone in having
diabetes. I think that's part of what helps me deal with it. This blog has helped too.
In the search for information that I share with you, I have learned so much. I have read
so many great articles and learned alot about the types of food we should be eating and
different ways we can have some control over this disease. I hope this blog has
been helpful to all of you as well.
