Very Hard Not To Snack Late!

Posted by Michelle Richardson on May 17, 2013 at 6:54pm 1 Comment

Hello All, I'm a Type 2 diabetic who enjoys the late night snacks. I've been trying not to snack so late because I go to sleep with my blood sugar high. I work swing shift,So by the time I get home I'm a bit hungry. I've been trying to eat a little later at work, but it doesn't work! I'm trying to STOP! Anybody else have a late snack issue?

What insurance do you have?

My Hubby is a type 1 diabetic and I am trying to find insurance for him. Life/health but most importantly health. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I just found out two days ago that I am now a Diabetic. I have no insurance so getting supplies and making sure that I have the tools I need to stay healthy is very difficult on me. I was glad to see a place where I could meet people that understand what I am going through. My husband is super supportive but doesn't fully understand, and neither do I.

Any advice or suggestions on getting supplies, foods, life in general would be so helpful.

I know I can live with this, just…

The threat we all face daily.....Cardiovascular disease....

September 11, 2001 and we lost 2,974 men and women...over 400 of those were First Responders, yet we lose 2,500 Americans everyday to Cardiovascular Disease...more deaths in one year than all our wars combined....

Need a new doctor

After 12 years, my doctor is not covered under our insurance.  I hate having to do this all over again.  Any suggestions for a good doctor in the SW Houston area? I don't know anyone in my area with diabetes.

Thanks ~ Regina

A question for everyone

Is there any that does not eat sugar AT ALL?

ok so i know we are diabetic and there is differences between type 1, type 2 and even just diet controlled but we do watch what we eat.

so if we all eat a healthy diet with everything in moderation.

why do we get looks of death when it comes to having something as little as one sugar in a cup of tea?
