here is to health! (LOL!)

is it any wonder that i have serious doubts about the
"goodness" of these weird new analog insulins? too bad
we don't have the same level of competition on insulin
that we get on blood glucose meters! for that matter,
cats/dogs/horses get better attention to insulin choice
than we (USA/Canada) humans do

p.s. if you don't like cross posting and want a response
from me, then don't post to alt.support.diabetes

p.p.s. afaik, avoid dumb stuff like Crisco (trans fats)
and snack foods (which are typically loaded w/t.fats)
and sugar and overly processed foods. to the best
of my knowledge, there is nothing wrong with
saturated fat. odds are we'll have studies
showing this in roughly another 20 years

" There is a catch to this no-diet diet, however: Intuitive eaters only eat
when they're hungry and stop when they're full. "

Uh-huh. That wasn't possible when I had blood sugars all over the place, nor
low thyroxine levels. I don't think that's a good strategy for diabetics...

My problem with diets is they change every few years
and then are recycled.

Qualified people have developed some basics that seem to hold water. The
darling of the money grubbers--Vitamins have a proven benefit if used
properely.

I do not know if I aM following the best diet possible
now. There may be NO best diet.

I do know that I must limitr food input and I must try
to balance it out as determined by long history and
a few sad incidents. I do not believe there is a perfect
diet Easpecially one for every person.

Thankfully, there is now the diabetic 2PD-OMER Approach which is
definitely not a diet :-)

Would be more than happy to "glow" and chat about this and other things
like cardiology, diabetes and nutrition that interest those following
this thread here during the next on-line chat this Thursday (12/08/05)

Well, I like the coffee link. I've been getting advice all over the
place that coffee and tea, my favorite beverages, are bad for the brain
- possibly reducing memory among other things. I'm not planning on
cutting out these daily pleasures that also can be used to prevent the
eating of things a t2 should not. I now have evidence that there are
benefits beyond those I had worked out.

All things in moderation...I'm not going to quit living just because I'm
DM :) A day without coffee??? My gosh, I'd die!
