There we go- if you're diabetic, then you aren't super healthy.

 

The US has a huge issue with obesity. Michelle tried reforming school lunches, they kept pushing exercise everywhere, and now we see fat tax. What else can we do? The food industry obviously won't help- it'll only make it worse. After all, many industries paid scientists to fabricate studies in their favour. It's why people avoid fats but are fine with eating sugar, grains, dairy, and red meat to their graves

 

I feel bad for people like you. Diabetes isn't fun for anyone. Trust me, having relatives with it lets me know they cannot control it. However, is soda the only efficient way to solve your sugar issue? My cousin uses lollipops or candy typically

Come work out with me and see who is healthier.

I use glocuse tablets on occassions when bllod sugar drops.  Normally testing regularly and adjusted insulin is enough.

I don't drink soft drinks or eat candy. I occassionally enjoy some alcohol and have to adjust accordingly.

Wondering what you happen to use for testing Nymeria, wasn't aware of there being a T1 presense on here :) but I recently picked up a number of

Accu Chek Mobile, testers, the site behind them was offering the testers for free (because then you get their test cartridges for use and they make tons of cash that way via the gov) But the tester is sooo user friendly it's great, has a cartridge in it with 50 tests, just open the lid, jab finger with the lancet on the side (which contains a barrel of 6 difference lances in one) and put the drop on, then the cart rolls up another one for the next time you need to test, no messing about with bits of tin foil trying to get a test strip out when you need to check it.

I may sound like an accu chek shill... but they're really great testers.
