Sticky Social Situation
My husband's best friend is a great guy and we really enjoy doing things with him. His wife, however, is another story. She's a type 2 diabetic (just like I am), but doesn't care about herself - doesn't watch her carbs, non-compliant with meds, blows off medical appointments, etc. Worse...

My husband is Type 2 and I'm new here
My husband is Type 2 since 1997. We've been married since 2006. He's never been one to control his diabetes, and I didn't want to be that newlywed wife that was a nag. Maybe I should have because this past June my husband suffered Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). I had returned home from grocery...

Diabetes and Denial
I have been in denial for a long time about my type 1 diabetes, hence, it has gone untreated until a trip to the ER and lab results were my wake up call. That was a week ago. I've been doing what the Dr. tells me, taking my insulin, checking my blood sugar, blood pressure (I have bad...

Joy
Had waking blood sugar of 130 this morning. It was the lowest it's been in YEARS. Had a banana and 8 oz. of milk for breakfast. Last night we had BBQ'd burgers with whole wheat buns.
