ReplyDeleteI found your blog earlier this year , I was looking for articles on diabetes . Learned a lot , your posts are easy to understand .
My diabetes was out of control , about 6 weeks later , I was reaching my goal . My sister is on dialysis (kidneys) I notice in a couple of articles the same guide lines was also good for heart, stroke , kidney and high blood pressure people . The dietitian says the food is good for everyone , lots of herbs and spices help detox the body .
She is right , I have more enegry . I notice your blog has 2 authors and a guest author which write posts on Food For Thought , lots of insight .
I notice Maxy says diabete posts was weekly ,I miss and need them , please tell me you will continue them .

Howdy Trudy,
DeleteNice to meet you . very happy to know you have your diabetes under control , it's hard to get to a certain routine , hang in there and it will become second nature to you .
I was most happy to hear from you ,There is a reason you should join a group to hash out things with . All people with diabetes don't have the same re-actions as others.Heart/ diabetes / BP run in my family , it don't act the same with everyone , some can control their ailments with diet / exercise and yes a diabetic diet is good for everyone .
The series will continue weekly , had a lot going on , now things is back to normal ... now and then I will throw in some on heart / kidneys /BP which I hope help some one . You will learn that all people with diabetes don't react the same way and listen to your body . All illness do not react the same in everyone . Everyone finds their niche by trial and error, listen to your body .
Food for Thought will be back soon , not exactly sure when , keep an eye open .
Trudy , one very important thing to remember about your illness , 'You are in control , not the illness.' Let us hear from you .
