Diabetics Unite!

I know, I know what a title, eh? Well, I'm an insulin-dependant diabetic and I think that there have been medical breakthroughs but the drug companies are NOT telling us about them. Why, do you ask? Because if there were a cure, they'd lose money!

I'll tell you a little about myself and my medical history. My mom was a Type 1 diabetic also. From all the information we could get from the family, it only seems to happen to the females of my mom's family. Great, just great. I can tell you from personal experience that stress can help CAUSE diabetes.

Now let's go to sugar levels. I know that when I'm stressed, my sugar levels go through the roof. All I can think of is that the adrenilin shoots to combat stress, which makes my cells release sugar to help compensate. Then of course, I get MORE stressed because my sugar is high! LOL...a never ending struggle.

Type 2 diabetes is a little different. Most people that have it, don't know it. At least for them, they can control it with diet and exercise. And maybe a few pills. That is a lot easier to take than having to take shots every day. Type 2 diabeties is the fastest growing in the US, mainly I think, because we are a "fast food" country now. How do we stop it? Well, I think that we need to learn how to make good "fast food" at home. That way, we KNOW what's in it and we can control the amount of sugar and carbs.

I also have some recipes for us diabetics, so if you are interested, let me know and I'll post them!

Anyway, for the nonce, that's it. Later, I'll talk about things I've done on line.
Until then, have a great day!
