Instead I have an occasional treat, knowing I have to plan for it. Either I have to cut out carbs from other meals/snacks or increase my activity. Yes, it's hard work having diabetes, but that doesn't mean there can be no fun!Sue Rerichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425504474480595810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195222234593811532.post-89510931157821252242011-07-20T14:55:42.820-05:002011-07-20T14:55:42.820-05:00I'm glad that you were able to enjoy your cinn...I'm glad that you were able to enjoy your cinnamon roll in peace. I actually find that I'm much harder on myself about what I eat than the people around me. I worked so hard to get my A1c and my triglycerides down, I don't want to mess it up for a bowl of ice cream. I did eat a couple of chips at the Mexican restaurant today and until I read this, I was beating myself up about it.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195222234593811532.post-80652229054320531872011-07-20T14:24:32.674-05:002011-07-20T14:24:32.674-05:00Great post!!!!

Most people do not differentiate with PWD's but as type 2's we get this the most. My type 2 diagnosis has a genetic background because I was never overweight and way fairly active before my diagnosis but yet I here I am. Blame the media or anyone who perpetuates these stereotypes, I mean don't get me wrong with the Obesity component in the equation, yes there are those in our community who got diabetes because they are obese and even to some small scale there are those who ate themselves to obesity and thus it can logically be concluded that they ate themselves to a diabetes diagnosis but how this small percentage of people ended up representing every diabetic out there is beyond me. well maybe its not, I mean 90% of the general public get their info from the media and what we see from the media is the star Jones of the world who get on the news and say " O my God, look at me, I lost 80 pounds and stopped taking my diabetes medication and ha now I am cured of my diabetes"... How can we fight against such a huge machine?<br />Sorry for the rant but this subject is still raw from that the idiot Wendell and Mike Hoskins situationRonnie Gregory Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074803145652449321noreply@blogger.com
