Posts relating specifically to ways to successfully self manage diabetes.
The picture below is the twitter page “bio” for THE American Diabetes Association. Just a quick comment before we move on to the “meat” of the post. (The ADA dislikes meat, they recommend only 5 oz per day. ) The ADA says, “… leading the fight to stop diabetes and all of it’s deadly consequences.” …
On Twitter, you will see 100’s of American Diabetes Association (ADA) Minion posts (called tweets) each day. Many of these Twitter posts are blatant attempts to sell or market products or services to diabetics….and are easy to ignore. Some of the more sophisticated ADA Minion will cloak their intentions in seemingly harmless “info posts”… wanting …
Yes, the blog is on a “cartoon jag”. I have several in mind and while I could create these and schedule “posts” … patience has never been a characteristic of mine. :) This was said yesterday, “cartoons fit your humor” … not sure if that was a compliment or not… :)) If you enjoy them …
If it appears that I am attempting to embarrass “ADA Minions” … sometimes situations are as they appear. :) The conversation below is based on talks that not only I have had with Certified Diabetes Educators but from numerous reports from other Diabetics. So this is a true representation of what many are hearing …
I want to thank Stacey Clayton for posting this article, a listing of “12 of the Most Disgusting Delicacies” … it reminded me to do this post. Growing up, my brother and I had to eat at least one bite of everything on our plates. If I heard my dad say this once … I heard him …
In my opinion low carb primal is THE best way for all humans to eat. There are many variations within the “primal meal plan”… you don’t have to eat just as I do, especially if you are NON-diabetics. Living according to “The Primal Blueprint” is the best way to live in my opinion because it …
Intermittent fasting is diabetes friendly. Why? Because removing the dietary fuel for elevated blood sugars will eventually cause your blood sugars to decrease, requiring less insulin, allowing your pancreas to rest.
No… sadly, this was not a dream where all the people ran around in loin cloths. HA! This was a day dream concerning our national nutrition … Imagine a time when an overweight teenage boy goes to the pediatrician. The boy and his parents are sitting in the doctors office and the the doctor after …
This is why I say YOU MUST BE CAREFUL READING ONLY STUDY HEADLINES, deceit and treachery lurk around every corner… :(
Ok, pretend for a moment YOU are THE MOST influential Diabetic Organization in the world and your “Healthy Living Magazine” website was sharing an article on, ‘the causes of diabetes’.
You as THE leading diabetes organization in the world have a unique opportunity to help MILLIONS, perhaps BILLIONS of people.
I was reminded of my food journal “reports” which include Protein, Fat and Carb ratios yesterday. I had not posted this in some time…. so here’s an update. (Thanks to Donna D’Souza) The report includes August and all but the last two days of September…so for practical purposes, this is a two month summary. Keep …
Successfully managing diabetes … brings many other health benefits. A clear mind, a healthy body is a wonderful thing.
Join me won’t you?
I have experimented with many different diets, without a doubt low carb paleo is the best for diabetics. It’s the best meal plan for everyone with disease or health conditions. Why? It is truly low-inflammatory.
IF the American Diabetes Association cared more about diabetics than it did favoring it’s large corporate donors… it would promote a low carb paleo style meal plan and it would be holding up Dr. Bernstein as a model diabetic for all.
When I first saw the word “corpulence” … I had to look it up. It’s meaning? According to freedictionary.com The condition of being excessively fat; obesity. Indeed I once suffered from corpulence… here is a picture from last year showing my 40″ Levi’s ….the picture was taken in July 26, 2009. At the time, I …
I am ending my Fitday.com journal entries for awhile. I know… this is not FRONT PAGE news but I wanted to let everyone know who may care so they can check out the summary. (below) FYI – I changed my mind…. several people found this valuable so I will continue. Thanks for the feedback. :) …
This is a follow up to yesterday’s post “See, hear and Speak No Evil….”. It is a story of a friend of mine and his battle with Crohns Disease. I also discuss the similarities in treatment and in poor medical advice for both Diabetes and Crohns from the medical establishment. In summary, his doctor told him …
According to the American Diabetes Association in 2007 : (yes I am linking to “that” site… ) Total: 23.6 million in the United States—7.8% of the population—have diabetes. Diagnosed: 17.9 million people Undiagnosed: 5.7 million people Pre-diabetes: 57 million people …so if we do some basic math, Voila!! approximately 81 million people …
