I have been so busy that I have tried to make good choices but have more or less fell off the band wagon.  Found this site and wanted to tag it here. http://www.diabetic-diet-recipes.net/

Ideas for Snacks

So dealing with hunger.... I googled and found this.  I can see this is going to be fun since I am somewhat lactose interolerant and have issues with nuts and popcorn.  LOL.... Diabetic Friendly Snacks  Oh well, I think once I figure out what works for me and rotate those items I'll do better.  Also I can tell that since I am finishing my monthly my sugar numbers are already looking much better.  I will have to read more on how that affects my diabetes.  I just look forward to getting this under control and hopefully loosing some weight.

First Posting....

While I have known that I have had diabetes for a couple months, I am just now coming out of my Diabetic Denial.  That may sound lame, but I was given a bottle of pills with no information.  I really had no energy to even to figure out what to change to make it to where perhaps the diabetes didn't control me.  I just thought ok, I will take these pills and then I'll feel better.  Well fast forward from October when I found out to this week when I went to a new doctor and its like my eyes have been opened.  I have suspected that my blood sugars are fairly high because I am fatigued all the time.  Like literally at some moments its like someone has unplugged me and I just can't get myself going again.  I went into this Dr being naive and thought I'll ask for a Glucose Meter and I will prove that my sugars were fine.  Well shock of all shocks my first reading was around 300.  :(  So, now its time to stop hiding under this rock and take the bull by the horns.  I am going to start reading and researching this thing and get myself healthier, for me and for my family.  I HAVE to.  I am tired of feeling this way, I am tired of being overweight.  So... this is my beginning entry in a blog I hope to have chopped full of recipes and whatever I come across.
