Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 Hi there... I'm new to this group, and recently (~ 2 months ago) diagnosed with diabetes. I feel increadibly lucky that my wife and 5 1/2 year old daughter are both very supportive of my diet. Before I learned *anything* about how to use diet to start to control my diabetes, I knew that I wanted to limit sugar and was reading labels to minimize that. Next thing I knew, my *daughter* figured this out and will now read the labels and tell me which one has less sugar! (At this point, she's also learning about looking at carbs, sodium, etc.) DanaTrout wrote: Welcome - I just had a moment of <big sigh> from family when I chose to eat my hamburger on a hot dog bun instead of the hamburger bun. I read the packages and obviously chose the one with less carbs. Four of the family members that were eating around me are diabetic also (on my Dh's side) - and they all eat and drink what they want - but they are all on some type of diabetic medicine. I am trying to stay OFF the meds as long as I can - which I think is healthier. Am I correct? And they tease me because I only drink ice water - they want me to try diet soda. But even if there are no calories, caffeine or sugar - it is still a chemical. Dana ) Doug, Dana & Cassidy (age 8) -- Chris --------------------------------- New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
