A friend on Facebook posted this video that I wanted to share. My friend is 43 years into his Type 1 diabetes and currently uses the Medtronic 670G insulin pump. He started keto on the advice of his endo 3 weeks ago and has seen remarkable results. Dr Berry's video discusses how a ketogenic...

Does your diabetes affect your friendships with other people? If so, for the better? Or not always? My clients often talk to me about their personal relationships, including friendships, and how they feel their diabetes impacts relationships. Here are some examples of their concerns and...

Has anyone else ordered the free slow cooker cookbook? I put in for over a month ago and have received nothing? Well, with the exception of my e-mail being slammed with all kinds of offers, which is really annoying. Just curious. Bright Blessings to all.

I am facing a lot of difficulties in chossing Insulin dosages. Either i hit a hypo or get hyper readings

I'm about 2 weeks away from the "anniversary" of my diagnosis with type 2 (7 July 2007). at diagnosis ... 10% HbA1c, FBG 203. To be honest I was a little nervous about the results as I have increased my alcohol consumption over the past couple of years (I fancy myself a craft beer...

I've reversed my diabetes by using a simple method! I'm a recovering cancer patient and didn't want to go out like my mother and my sister-in-law is on the waiting list for a kidney from the harsh medications. I'm so happy that I've changed my lifestyle that enables me to reverse my diabetes!

I have been struggling to get my A1C back in the <6% range for a while. At one time I was in the 5.6 to 5.8% and had reduced Lantus to 22 units and metformin to 500 mg twice daily. I am up to 30 units Lantus and 1000 mg twice daily with fasting BG running between 105 to 125 mg/dl. Partly this...

Hello everyone, as the name implies, I am a first time diabetic ( hate that label ). Just recently as well. I am just over 64 so I should not have been surprised that I was diagnosed with this condition since it seems to be fairly common in the "older" population. Regardless, although I was...

I take both Humalog and Lantus and use the pens. Ny refrigerator went out a couple of days ago. Once I realized it was out, I went and got ice chests and ice to get my insulins cold again. They never got room temperature for very long. The refrigerator has been replaced and the insulin is very...

This was just reported on my local tv news as a boon for T1D. I can see it working for T2D who need a bit more insulin, but how can T1D vary the dose for their needs? Anyway here's a link: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/06/180625192838.htm ""Once ingested, insulin must navigate a...

http://www.wcvb.com/article/common-vaccine-can-reverse-advanced-cases-of-diabetes-study-says/21742629 I haven't read the study itself and make no claims...but if true, a very interesting potential!

I have been a diabetic for about five years now. But it wasn't until recently that I began to take my health seriously. My lack of adherence to any kind of a diet was my own fault. I knew what to do, but I chose to ignore it. A few months ago, I went to the doctor and my news was not good. My A1C...
