Hi all... I read more than I post.
I recently saw an endo for the first time after arguing with my GP for
a referral.  I have been running 300-600, fasting or otherwise, for 6

We haven't talked about exercise in a long time, so here goes.
I recently bought an MP3 player and it 's made an improvement in my
motivation to walk more often. I've got my favorite music on it--no
skipovers.

I had a question regarding kidney dialysis that I thought someone here
may be able to answer.
Once you start dialysis treatment, are you on it for the rest of your
life?  As a T1, I know that kidney disease is a possibility over the

I loss weight by eating ice cream. I lost 50 pounds in 14 weeks. A
friend introduced me to Prycena. It's a drug free, contains no
ephedra, is caffeine-free, has no side effects, and it is an excellent
source of calcium. I make my own ice cream with 1% chocolate milk. For

My FBG before breakfast this morning was 5.1, and I have been running in the 5-6 range for
a few days now (even a couple of <5s!!!) so I know my endo is going to be really pleased
with me.
After breakfast (of a type which has never caused any serious rise) I went out to install

Potato chips in big colorful bags piled high on store shelves seem to be
calling out to me lately. I've been able to ignore them for months. Now,
whenever I go into a store, I'm in a battle with myself. I look at the
nutrition label hoping for a misprint or a miracle, but it ...

I was diagnosed a type 2, Jan 23, 2006.  My doctor gave me an Ascensia
Breeze monitor and I downloaded the software from their site as to help me
track my BG levels.  According to the meter and the software my range is
from 65 to 156.  Nurse told me my range is from 70 to 120.  ...

Went searching for Fairytale Brownies, and found some sugar-free ones.  Do not know nutritional
details, but at least the sugar-free sounds less damaging anyway.   :)

I had a cold and noticed that high doses of Vit C allowed me to be able
to eat more carbs with no side effects. Then I found the following

Well, it was the 1st one I have at least known of in the 3 years I have had
type 2. To my dose of byetta at dinner, ate chicken and wild rice (baked
apricot chicken) and about 45 minutes later started feeling sick. Had nausea
and was wondering if my sugar was 170 or more as I ...

Fern Britton, on This Morning a couple days ago, said that Vivaldi potatoes
(which are supposed to be lower in carbs and calories) are available at
Sainsbury's.  I had heard at one time that someone was working on developing
a low carb potato but had no idea it had been done.  ...
