public and the professionals about this. I have been
pumping and carb counting for a long time. People are
always coming up and saying, “you can’t have that it has
sugar”. Everything you eat converts to simple sugar
before your body can use it. Carbs are the important
things to count.<br

hi! new here. i’m type 2 for 11 years. wondering
why my sugars won’t go down. it was 183 and after not
eating for 2 days it was still 180. my liver loves
dumping stored sugars when i sleep. could that be it? my
dr warned me 3 months ago if i didn’t get my 3 mo.
sugar no.(9) down he’d put me on insulin along w/ the
meds i take now. the past 2 mos. my sugars suddenly
went up but don’t know why. i’m not at all afraid of
needles but is insulin injections hard to manage? strict
routine? i’m very bad at routines. thanks! be well, laura
I applaud your rational approach, John. I
understand what Craft is saying but walking that line is too
risky for most of us. I would prefer to try to avoid
sugar at all than to sacrifice good nutritional carbs
to gain some sugar. I feel that gratifying a sugar
taste will sooner or later become a habit and will be
easily overdone.<br
sweet if I had one. Before I was diagnosed and unaware
of the complications of diabetes I worked with a
delightful, very intelligent man who had diabetes.<br
wondered how he was able to eat sweet buns and donuts at
every staff meeting. Now I know, he couldn’t. He died
before he could retire. I know his wife and kids wish he
had abstained.<br
sugar, they can sacrifice other carbs without getting in

Crafty,…..don’t get your bowels in an

SUGAR. When people are brand new diabetics they come out
of a “sugary world” into one that is much less
“sugary” orientated. They may never have heard of your
calory counter, like the two I<br
for some very basic info, and that is what I gave
them.<br
way.<br
I have been hearing about and reading about (yes,
even on this message board) the “fact” that a Diabetic
cannot and should not eat any type of food containg
sugar. Ie.,candy, cakes, pastries or Ice cream. These
are FALSE statements!!!! Let’s get with the program
folks, let’s step into the new millenium. Moderation is
the key! You do not have to stop eating those sweets
that you love so much. As long as they are a part of
the carb count for that particular meal. Many
Doctors, Nurses and Nutritionists will tell you that you
will never have another cookie again, BUNK! Check it
out with the ADA, (American Diabetes Assoc.). In
fact, when checking food package labels, they don’t
even suggest looking at the Sugar content, just the
total carb count and fat count. Old School

Anne,….I’m amazed how you can say you hate this
disease already.!!! I have it for 41 years and since I
love it so much I take 6 needles per day to stay
awake.<br
needles). I have the feeling it is type 2, since I’m such a
smart fellow.<br
nutritionist no doubt will give you a calory counter which
will at first seem complicated but it really is’t. Are
you both overweight??? (I won’t tell anybody, so you
can confess!!!) In that case you have to reduce your
food intake and work on the excersize (walking is good
every day!!!)<br
wife 41 years ago ….there was no info. We have taken
the common sense route all these years. Obviously no

it in a week, a month or a lifetime. I have had DM
for 44 yrs and there are still times I can’t handle
it, but I am living and enjoying life. So don’t
expect to much out of yourself and do what you can. Take
baby steps to start. You have alot of losses in such a
short time. Let yourself grieve all them and then pick
youself up and go on.<br
