You are right. This group does seem like family, and I don't know any

families that don't have heated discussions once in awhile. I don't like

name calling, but I guess that is part of life. The people that get " picked

on " the most are the ones that try the hardest to help others. The " thank

you " I receive from a sincere person can override any negative comment.

I have enjoyed this group more than the others I've been on. I've learned a

lot and I'm still learning. I hope to still be here when I'm in my 90's and

as active and feeling as good as I do today and I expect each of you to be

here also.

I truly believe everything, including diabetes, happens for a reason. In

your case, you are teaching your daughter (at an early age) the importance of

healthy eating/living. Keep up the good work.

Well I like the group it has helped me alot if for no other reason than to

just talk about this with other people who have the same thing no matter

how they are treating or dealing with it. I don't mind squabbles or

debates and things of that nature. We all know words can cut deep but the

internet is a great place to find out if what you believe in you really

stand for so I'm cool with it.

It has been 2 hours and I still haven't eaten the Ding Dong

my grandson put on the counter for me! I have to have a

serious talk with him tonight. He is almost 8 so should

understand. He really is my motivation. But it is so hard

when I am so tired and simple carbs perk me up so.

My daughter (3 1/2) wants to give me sweets so bad she will

press them up against my lips! How's that for temptation! At first

she didn't understand, she would say " When I grow up I hope I will

get diabetes! "

But now she has a good grasp and knows that I can't eat too much

sweets/snacks. " Poppa has to eat right because of diabetes! " she

exclaims. It has increased her awareness of the importance of

fruits, veggies and protein.

It is good that she is learning, my kids are the same. They will tell me in

a min. if I am eating something I shouldn't.

I never did eat it! Was really good, but bg's looked like I

had been really bad! Tonight, I splurged and had two

mini-oreo cookies with about 1/4 cup of milk. One bite each

and I savored them! Seemed to do OK.

I talked to tonight about the fact that one of my

'conditions' is that too much or too little starch or sugar

can make me really sick and I have to be careful not to eat

sweets unless they are sugar free. He picked up on it right

away and said he would be watching me and I am sure he will!
