Hi & Welcome!

I started this blog as a result of being a type 2 diabetic, and finding through research, trial & error, and good advice, that I can keep healthy blood glucose levels and maintain a healthy weight and all the benefits that go along with that, simply by eating right and getting enough exercise. At this time, I am not taking any medications for diabetes, and I'd like to do whatever I can to keep it that way. I'm not saying medications are bad - actually there are some very good medications and combinations of medications out there nowadays to help treat diabetes very successfully, just that at this point in my life, the natural approach fits with my way of living, and is what I want. You should find something interesting to read here whether you're newly diagnosed, or a long-time sufferer of type 2 diabetes. I've experienced type 2 diabetes from many perspectives at this point. My great grandmother died of a stroke after suffering with type 2 diabetes for many years. My maternal grandma is still living with it at 84. My paternal grandma died at age 67, having lost a leg to diabetes. My beautiful mom died at the age of 62, having suffered greatly with type 2 diabetes, and my father is still going strong despite diabetes, at age 70. Then came me. I wish I had known back when my mom was still alive, all that I know about type 2 diabetes now. She might still be here with us. Hindsight is 20/20 -- but hopefully, with my newfound knowledge and my lifestyle changes, my 15 year old son will be able to avoid what appears to be the family curse. Enjoy reading...please contribute!! Cheers!

New Breakfast Option


I know that a lot of us with type 2 diabetes don't do well with cereals, and as good as eggs, egg beaters, bacon, cheese, etc. are, you can definately get tired of them. So when you're in a rush and don't even have time for a smoothie, I found a product that is tastey and actually has good numbers...AND it's portable.
Russell Stover SUGAR FREE Breakfast Bars.
They come in 4 flavors: Chewy Granola, Cinnamon Bun, Apple Cinnamon, and Blueberry. So far, I have only tried the Apple Cinnamon. It's like a chewy granola-type bar with a chocolate drizzle over the top for added yumminess. This is a soy-based product, but seems to me to have less of that undesirable soy texture that many soy products have. Now, for the numbers:

A 31 gram bar has:

Calories..........100
Fat....................6g
Carbs..............13g
Fiber................7g
Sugars............0g
Sug Alcohol....5g
Protein.............7g

Not bad, huh?
