Diabetic Connect Type 2 Diabetes: 8 Steps to Weight–Loss Success - Type 2 Diabetes Center Losing weight has many benefits for people with type 2 diabetes, including better control over blood sugar levels. Losing weight is at the top of many people's to-do lists. But for those with type 2 diabetes, weight control is especially important. “Carrying excess weight makes managing blood sugars more difficult, and 80 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight,” says dietitian Sue McLaughlin, RD, CDE, diabetes educator and president of health care and education for the American Diabetic Association. It’s no secret that losing weight — and keeping it off — isn’t easy. Diabetes Diet Control: Steps to Success Here's how to get started on the path to weight-loss success: Get physical. Eat breakfast. Cut calories. Feast on fiber. Eat mini-meals. Set small goals. Get support. Use tricks to prevent overeating. Fill up on low-calorie foods first. It’s important to continue healthy eating and regular exercise even after reaching your weight-loss goal.
My Diabetic Heart » Blog Archive » A DOC Logo – Diabetes Art Day It’s OK to Need Help by Mike on March 20th, 2011 In previous blog posts and conversations over the last two years, I’ve made no bones about the fact that I’ve battled with bouts of depression and anxiety since I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes. The daily routines of medications, blood sugar testing, meal planning, and other related bullshit, combined with the constant worry of trying to figure out how to pay for all of those medications and testing supplies, are simply overwhelming at times. Add to that all of the typical stuff that goes along with every day life, you know… work, bills, chores, relationships, etc… and you’ve got yourself a great big barrel of fun. It’s all enough to destroy someone mentally. As difficult as it is for me to admit, I reached that point in the early part of February. And the hard part is that I know it didn’t have to happen. The moral of this story is this: It’s OK to need help; You just have to ask for it!
I Am Your Pancreas Bitter~Sweet: Diabetes Art Day!! September 1st is always a very special day, for two reasons. The first is that it’s my wonderful husband’s birthday!!! Happy Birthday, SweetPea - may your year be filled with joy!! What is the second reason? Well, September 1st is also Diabetes Art Day, a wonderful project organized by my good friend Lee Ann to let our creativity tell our diabetes story. Last year, I made a Diabetes Voodoo Doll to show how diabetes makes me feel like a human pin-cushion. It’s a blue circle inspired by the World Diabetes Day symbol. Believe it or not, after I finished my necklace I did come up with an idea for another diabetes art project.
