    Which Juicer?

    Sorry to revive this thread, still I wanted to ask - if someone has any recommendations? Our old juicer has finally died recently (just before Christmas, sheesh) and now we're looking for a replacement. I have checked several options - in case they are still available - and was surprised that...

    What if you don’t like vegetables?

    People I know get around this by hiding vegetables in other things they eat. Add pureed veggies to chili, soup or quick bread etc, etc. Still, I believe there's no harm if you don't like vegs like you can always switch to multi vitamins. You're not alone, just have a look at this topic...

    A year without a Cappuccino

    Look into Fairlife milk. My dietician recommended it. It's real cow's milk that's been separated by ultrafiltration into different components, and then recombined to change its nutritional profile. This one is delicious. So thanks for sharing!

    Back Pain From A Bulging Disc (diagnosed)

    I still suffer with constant pain in my hands and feet. But it seemed to be a diabetic neuropathy since I've improved my bg level and it reduced my chronic pain as well. So sorry that you have to deal with bulged disc. I have been in your situation and it is absolutely miserable. I first...

    Alcohol and Diabetes

    I recommend eating a good meal, but not necessarily a carb dense one at least 2 hours before you plan on drinking. Also keep in mind that while beer is delicious, it can pack a huge amount of carbs per can. Darker beers especially can have as many carbs as a large low snack. They are especially...

    What Does Your Cat Eat?

    I can't tell exactly from this, but are you switching flavors, textures, etc. from day to day? My kittens are not too picky about the type of food they eat, but they will not eat the same food two days in a row. My grandmother's cat is also like this.

    Tv Series and movies

    Started "The end of a f-g world" on Netflix. Pretty dark sometimes, yet still I like it a lot. If you are a fan of a "Moonrise kingdom", you might love it as well.

    Type 1 I Feel Like I Speak About Diabetes Too Much

    Feel you, @Alex_B . It's just a phase, since that's a new diagnosis for you. If you feel like you're talking about it too much, try to stop for a moment and speak about something different (you probably have something to tell, smth that is not related to your condition?). But you shouldn't quit...

    Very Low Hypo

    Hi, @avebabe62! As Juicyj said, it's a regular situation. Since I'm in a same boat with you, I'd recommend you to have a snack - apple slices for instance - before exercise. Consider training with a partner, if it's possible - it would be safer for you. And don't forget to measure your glucose...
