Product Name: Pros: Cons: Rating:
Aciphex Great product as long as you take it consistently, you'll never know you have a reflux issue! It completely eliminates all symptoms for me. -- Extremely expensive! -- Every insurance plan I've ever had didn't cover the drug without a massive amount of hassle & cost. -- Can take a while (a day or two) to get working in your body, then you have to not miss a dosage. Thumbsup
insulin Thumbsup
Byetta Pen -- Convenient -- I'm not very hungry using this -- Very, very expensive -- Didn't do anything for blood sugars -- Doctor kept forgetting to write script for the needle/tips -- Pens are not recyclable so it's a lot of waste in the landfills. Thumbsdown

Swimming No impact! Easy on joints so I can do it for two hours a day. Can't do it year round without a huge expense. Has to be warm/hot outside to do this. Thumbsup
BD Ultra-Fine Mini Pen Needle 31G x 5mm Wish they would just come with the insulin or didn't require a script because my Doctor keeps forgetting to write the script. Thumbsup
Zipfizz -- Great when you want OJ but cannot afford the sugars. --Kids love the Grape soda (kid fav) and Orange soda and without the sugars parents can love it too...Diabetic or not! --Is an easy travel along item (small little tube) --2500 mcg of B12 so it's cheaper than shots if you need them -- gives a great boost in energy without the sugar lows. --Hard to find (only found at Sam's Club so far) --Hard to open --Hard to mix completely, unless you can shake it vigorously. -- only comes in the tubes, no bulk tubs so environmentally there is a lot of trash. --Plastic tube is NOT recyclable --Only two flavors Grape Soda and Orange Soda. Thumbsup
Tropicana's Trop50 Fruit juice tastes like oranges 16 carbs for a cup. no chemicals, just juice not from concentrate It seems a bit diluted, but still it's OJ! only comes in 1/2 gal Thumbsup
Blue Bunny Ice Cream Love it. Great Flavors with the no sugar added and some are fat free. It isn't sugar free in all cases. Price is high. Easy to over eat. Thumbsup
