My introduction to the group

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My name is and I am 39 years old. I was born with an eye disease called

RP. I only see light and shadows. I was diagnosed with diabetes over six years

ago and am on oral medication for it. I am not insulin dependent. I look

forward to being a part of this group. Just a fyi, I use a speech program to

read and write email and search the web.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this group.

Welcome to the group, . I am Lora in Michigan and I think I know you.

I have been diagnosed as a diabetic since June 13 of 2011. Hope you will

learn a lot from all these guys here, they really

know a lot and more importantly, they follow the advice that others give

them.

I know what I should do but, well you know.

yu crack me up. " well, you know " unfortuneately I know too well

though doing quite well most of the time. Some days it's hard to care

what you eat. Someone just bought a huge container of animal crackers.

Well, I can have a few, no big deal. but when I start to go back for

more, well, look out! Hi , I'm Vicki who was diagnosed in 2005,

3 days after my wedding. Talk about angry. Well he is diabetic too and

taught me how to test and things so it was okay. I gueswe all have our

trials along the way. Glad you are here, I think you will like it a lot

like we all do here. noone ever gets judged or anything, but somehow it

gets into our grain to do it right, for our own sake, not anyone else.

So I'll put the animal crackers away now and go for my megadoses of

water. Take care.

Hi Vicki,

It is nice to meet you. You guys are funny! Animal crackers huh? That is

funny! How rude that someone bought those and brought them around you! I too

have days when I don't give a hoot what I eat! I had to decide that I was worth

it and I needed to take care of myself. I hope to learn alot from all of you.

It is nice to have humor about all of this.

[Guest guest]

Well I live in a household with 6 people, from age 3 to 67, so we get

all kinds of food all of the time. I try to make sure I have enough

fruit and other things so I don't want the other stuff as much. It

isn't easy though. But neither is life, we must run the race.

Okay, here is my confession for the week! Now we'll see how crazy people think

I am. My favorite snack is big dill pickles. I buy the huge jar from Walmart.

Who does that? Who would eat a dill pickle instead of a doughnut? Yep, I'm

nuts!

[Guest guest]

You are crazy all right but hey it works. verry low in sugar. I hate them!

Welcome to the group ! You have come to the right place, and if you

think you're crazy, wait until you hear some of the stuff eaten by folks in

the group! I don't think that you are crazy at all because I do the same

thing, I love dill pickles! I wash off the salt and enjoy! I like the

kind with garlic and hot peppers the best!

Hi ,

Okay, where do you find dill pickles with hot peppers in them? I get the Kosher

ones with garlic but I love hot stuff!!!!! thanks for saying I'm not crazy.

Okay, how about celery sticks dipped in hot sauce? Is that crazy? I do that

I wish people would change the subject line to reflect what their talking

about.

even worse. Now, your Italian recipes sound wonderful!
