Before I moved in with mom I had nearly eliminated high fructose corn syrup from my diet at the suggestion of my doctor. At first I didn’t believe that it would make me feel better, but I am sure that was just my resistance to change and convenience. This is difficult to do, but it [...]
So I thought I had been doing really well with my new high-fructose free diet. (cue the music… bum bum bummmm)…. until this morning. I never thought to read the lable of my yogurt container, it’s yogurt, it should be good for you! But turns out I was waaay wrong! My [...]
Hehehe! I can’t wait to try these cookies! They sound heavenly! For the most part they stick to my high fructose corn syrup free diet (is there a better word than diet?). I will be replacing the brand name m&m’s with maybe something organic and fructose free if I can find [...]
I received a recipe from one of my favorite readers for Smoothies! YUM!
As I may have mentioned before, I did a test (accidental as usual) when I was sick several months ago. I found out I felt awesome (a huge difference) the next morning if I ate a vegetarian dinner the night before. [...]
I think it is time for an update on the case of the un-insurance-covered insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor system.
My doctor said we are finally ready to pursue my final appeal of insurance coverage for an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor. It took a while to find and compile research studies since [...]
Come on people! Don’t make me do this all by myself! Let’s support each other in improving our health! (okay, I’m sorry, that is a little too cheery for a Monday morning, I agree). Today I start the first step of my new healthy “diet” or shall we say ‘lifestyle change’? This [...]

I had something strange happen to me the other day in clinic. I walked by some of the rooms on the way to mine and I saw Cystic Fibrosis patients with gray hair! I had NEVER ever seen that before! It was kind of a weird realization that I may get gray [...]

Today I feel like the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz just after Dorthy helps him down off of his watch-post. Dancing around with so little grace. “I am freeee!” I am so happy to be off the IVs and have that painful PICC line out. This weekend was so busy, [...]
It is official. First the hospital dietitian tells me that I am crazy for thinking that dairy products make me cough despite my telling them I was allergic as a kid.
They really topped that today! I have a severe allergy to melons, all kinds, watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe… this is written allll over [...]
As the day of chocolate easter bunnies and jelly beans is upon us I thought it would be a good time to share one of my favorite diabetes secrets!
Counting carbs is the most frustrating thing about diabetes. I can deal with the shots, I can figure out how much insulin I need (usually), but [...]
