  • Our pets

    I know this is going to sound kinda lame but my dogs have really helped me in the last week of me finding out I have Type 2. They listen and cock their heads when I talk to them about my worries and fears. I know they don’t really understand but they love me unconditionally…that or they just know I’m the food and take out side to poop guy…:)
    not sure what I would do without them
    Buddha, Buddha+Bella…and them running after each other

  • Newly Diagnosed and would like some advice on food plan

    hey everyone. I was just diagnose with type 2 diabetes on my 41st birthday. I have bought a couple of really good books on the subject and am learning loads of info. I am trying to find out if my small local hospital has a diabetes class to teach me about all the good food to eat. I have cut out all candy, chips, soda (drinking sugar free- is that okay).

    breakfast is the biggest challenge for me since I never really did eat very well for it..maybe a granola bar here or there.

    I have read that Granola is okay to eat but what kinds are good…I am sure those with loads of sugar are not right??

    I really need to get in to see a Dietitian/Nutritionist and work on a meal plan for myself

    oh I am also on metaforim 500mg a day until next friday then it goes up to 1000mg a day

    oh yeh I also have high Cholesterol
