Filed Under Diabetes | Comments Off
I have diabetes and usually get a salad for lunch at work and make chicken for dinner. This is my first winter really focusing on my eating and I live in the Northeast, with are first full storm last week I realized that my days of laying around with friends eating popcorn and watching movies may be over on a day off. What do other store in their home’s for those snack attacks.
I’m looking for non-parashiable items for when we get these sudden snow storms.

How do you stick with a healthy diet to manage your diabetes when you work in a dietary mine field?
Filed Under Diabetes | Comments Off
I am a weak woman. It is so easy to eat what is convenient. It is easy to eat snacks provided by my employer instead of preparing a meal when deadlines are bearing down on me.
I know the risks of unhealthy eating. My aunt died from complications relating to out of control diabetes.

What are the top 20 diabetes medications?
Filed Under Diabetes | Comments Off
What are the most popular medications for diabetes, in terms of recent sales, number of patients, or some similar measure? I am interested in data for both oral medications, insulins, and other types of medication. The purpose of the question is to find out which meds out of those available are the most used and the most popular at the present time. I am not looking for treatment advice, and I am not looking for the names of just one or two medications. Thanks!

How often should people at risk for diabetes get tested?
Filed Under Diabetes | Comments Off
I’m not diabetic or overweight, and I do my best to eat a healthy diet. However, the one BIG risk factor I have is that my father has it, and it tends to run in my family.
I’ve had normal BS levels as long as I could remember now, and so far have had no symptoms. I monitor my fasting blood sugar on my own about every month or two(using my father’s equipment) and get it checked during my annual physical. Is this enough to monitor it properly, or am I doing something wrong?
Also, any advice on delaying the onset of diabetes as far as I can? I’m already trying to be active, keeping my weight in check and eating healthy, but is there anything else I can do? I plan on enlisting in the military in a few years, so I need to be in my top condition.
