I finally did find an aggressive diet that does work but I need to get disciplined and just do it. So I am gulity of not eating the way I should. I think most Americans today eat too much. Our portion sizes are at least triple of what they actually should be.<BR/>Schools - they do not feed the kids a healthy lunch. The choices are what is least expensive and easiest. My son is 26 now but when he was younger I would give him fruit and ceral (like cheerios to snack on) rasins etc. But he did like as he got older McDonalds. The difference between eating healthy and not is planning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-75558775251432018552008-07-30T15:12:06.844-04:002008-07-30T15:12:06.844-04:00I think that this would be something very appropriate for your website to talk about. A very young girls' soccer team played in a league that they dominated. The girls won every game, even against other girls that were older than them. Their coach made a bold move and put them into the boys league. This was met with some criticism, but as the girls did exceptionally well, it made people stop and think about what was fair and right concerning girls and boys. The main girl in this film has juvenile diabetes. She demonstrates that people are very able to live a normal life even with diabetes. And the film also teaches that people should not be discriminated against based on gender, and these girls overcame that discrimination.

There is a special place in heaven for us mother's of young diabetics.<BR/><BR/>This December will mark the 5 year anniversary, of his diagnosis, and to tell you the truth, we didn't get on the pump right away, because I wanted to be comfortable learning all I could about Diabetes, and how my son's body reacted to foods vs. insulin.<BR/><BR/>He has his days with the pump that he's not happy with, but in a whole it's been a blessing. It is expensive, and not everyone has the resources available to them. Even with an 80/20 insurance we paid several thousands of dollars for one.<BR/>There are several cons to the pump, not knowing how much insulin my son actually got, if something happened to his insertion site, and not all the insulin got delivered.<BR/>The top pro one being the flexibiliy, it offers. All mothers know that children love to snack, and I got so tired of giving injections six to eight times a day,or asking him to wait another hour until lunch.<BR/>I applaud your sister, those are excellent A1Cs. My son has been holding steady at under eight for almost a year now, his doctor assured me this was normal for his age, BUT lower is always BETTER!<BR/><BR/>Keeping on top of good numbers, I've had many sleepless nights, and I am sure your sister has too. Thank you for the WFMW low carb recipes, good eating habits are so very important.<BR/><BR/>If your sister has internet access, I found some wonderful resources through Diabets Mine, and the OCC blog ring of Diabetics.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long post, but if your sister has any questions, I would be happy to answer any, or just needs an ear to listen, I'd be happy to help.<BR/><BR/>I know she's doing a wonderful job, I can tell, because if she's like you, and you understand all this info about Diabetes, than you are well on your way to excellent diabetes management.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck to you and God Bless!Christine@AreWeThereYetMomhttp://www.arewethereyetmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-59907972193807973732008-07-29T18:45:53.151-04:002008-07-29T18:45:53.151-04:00My comment is simple, GiBee. As you know, my grandson Cameron was diagnosed with Type 1 juvenile diabetes just before he turned two years old. He just turned three. And in one year our whole family has become extremely educated about jd. I knew every single thing you and your sister said in this post.<BR/><BR/>But most people don't. So I'm going to do a post at my site, linking to this post because knowledge is everything - it's absolutely everything and this post is one of the best I've ever read on the subject.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for putting this information out here.Barbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-21899216365313454792008-07-29T12:59:43.977-04:002008-07-29T12:59:43.977-04:00Hi GiBee, I think everyone in America needs to see the movie, Super Size Me. I can bet that American homes will change the way they cook and eat.<BR/>I do know diabetes if a horrible disease. Working w/kidney pt's for years, it's devastating!<BR/>I know this post will be helpful to many! Oh, and snacks? I try to stay healthy but we do have a hard time w/sweets, cookies, etc. Just being honest ... (chocolate!)<BR/>:)Sandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08910644413175366761noreply@blogger.com
