While you run to the store and pile the groceries into your cart just stop and think for a minute... I bet you that more than half of the items you put into the cart a diabetic can't eat them. Or they have to eat them in such moderation that even over a few tablespoons can cause problems for them.
You do not realize how much junk you are eating till you are put on a diabetic diet. Foods as simple as a can of fruit are bad for them. So while you reach for that box of cereal, or that bag of chips maybe you too should eat better?
If your over weight, or you have diabetes in the family. Both of these increases your chances of getting diabetes. On several websites they said that a person that has the disposition of getting diabetes needs to watch their diet early instead of later. You guard your diet, don't let you diet guard you. Because just like me diabetes could sneak up on you one day, and take out one or two organs, or cause you to lose a foot, and yes even your life. Is all that processed food, sugar, and carbs worth it?
Diabetes is a thief. If your not careful your life can be turned upside down.

God bless ya, WeeBit...I was diagnosed this past New Year's Eve in the ER during a gallbladder attack. Diabetes certainly does suck but I suggest contacting the local hospitals to see if they have any support groups for us newly-diagnosed folks. They have dieticians there that specialize in Diabetes as well as so much information. You learn all about the disease, the facts and myths and ways to live a normal healthy life without feeling that you are under a microscope 24/7.
Thank you il tigre`
I checked into this because someone else mentioned it to me. It seems that this little hospital doesn't have those type resources. You have to schedule then drive 25 miles to the nearest larger hospital to do this. Unfortunately I am not blessed with a car at this time.
