Careful, I may dump a bunch of posts. You may need to do some more writing!

And whose biggest issue isn't what to wear to the prom!<br />I learned fast that the ADA & I had differing goals: They need to avoid being marginalized by the medical community; I need to avoid heart attacks. We both need to stay "safe" - but their "safe" recommendations would just help me erode slower, not keep me safe from any & all side effects.<br />I run A1c's of 5.6 - 5.9, don't watch my mono- & poly-unsaturated fats much. A friend is trying to convince me to go Paleo, but I won't cave. (Clever, huh?)<br />My blog has 9 posts & yours only has 8, so I'm WAY ahead! (I took the "sample" item off my "menu" header about 2 days ago, so I'll have to wait before I can look down at anyone!)<br />"What? Me worry?" <br />Izzyhttp://liv-a-betes.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105640441732388825.post-58076499370896830882015-05-15T18:10:40.117-04:002015-05-15T18:10:40.117-04:00Our diets are so, so similar!

I would love to eat everything that you cook, but I am a lazy cook. I am inspired today with your post and Kate Cornell's and always with Bigfoot Katy. Also I've read some new blogs today with the same type of low carb fantastic food.Laddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212090322026085867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105640441732388825.post-81710414669086638452015-05-15T10:02:38.065-04:002015-05-15T10:02:38.065-04:00Thanks for sharing this, Brian.

I'm very impressed that you cook so much of your meals, and that's something we have been trying to do more of ourselves. And that breakfast and dinner both sound REALLY good, and I kind of have a craving for both now. :)Mike Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551066714605052991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105640441732388825.post-64955106959895551652015-05-15T09:28:08.356-04:002015-05-15T09:28:08.356-04:00We eat a lot like you do, even though our d-situat...We eat a lot like you do, even though our d-situation is very different (ours started with an 8 year old T1). I am still sad that the original advice we were given was to just keep feeding our son the same normal kid things: cereal, sandwiches, cookies, and to balance them with insulin, even if it meant taking a giant dose. The priority on was on keeping things normal, but that makes blood glucose management INSANE. This is all a rambling way to say I'm glad I found your blog! I love the topic today and it gives me a good feeling that you and I have settled into such a similar pattern, even though our stories are so different!<br /><br />Discount grass fed beef FTW!!katyhttp://bigfootchildhavediabetes.comnoreply@blogger.com
