Description:

You dont have to be diabetic or on a diet to join but you can be. For this swap I am thinking of things that I need now that I am a diabetic. Not gonna get to expensive on you. Here goes... 1. one neat ink pen to keep track of our sugar with. 2. one package diabetic or sugar free candy 3. 5 packets of diet drink mix like Crystal Lite on the go 4. a pair of cute socks diabetics have trouble with their feet 5. at least one page on diabetes ( this can be a pamphlet from the doctor, a good article from a book, or from the internet) Anything else you want to add will be a plus. Being a diabetic is hard so it is good to have support. USA ONLY 4.0 or higher no no sends Enjoy.

I have set up a swap for newbies so that they can get a rating. My Newbie Pick 3 Swap

Hi I was wondering if people could post what type they are or how they treat it.. that sort of thing..some extra info might make it a little more personal

I am type 2 for the last eight yrs. I am now using Byetta and it has given me nice tight control that my internist always wanted me to have. I still use very small amounts of Lantus am and pm though the hope is maybe to bring that down to once or not at all.

sure post what you like. I am type 2 was diagnosed in August so I am a newbie. I am not on insulin yet. I take 7 pills a day though and am trying to stick with my diet.

I am also type 2 and also diagnosed in August. I am still working at everything too. I have a question... do they have to be actual socks or can they be the socks that you wear around the house?

I am 53 with type 2 for the past 10 years. Having trouble keeping numbers down. Seems stress is my main problem. We[husband of 36 years and myself] have our 31 yr old daughter,her 3 kids[11-9-4] and another 9 yr old grand living with us. Husband had a heartattack dec.23 but doing great--

They can be either kind of socks it doesn't matter. As long as you can wear them on your feet...lol. Denise I feel for you dear my mom has my sister and her boyfriend and their 3 kids living with her so I hear that stress everyday. My diabetes well my numbers are still a little high about 130-170 but my doctor seems to think that if I can keep them in that range she'll leave me alone. I don't wanna go on the shots, I just can't stick myself. And I am sorry but I do Cheat on my diet once in a while.

I never thought i could stick me til i end up doing it all i know is insulin usually keeps me in better control. I have a few things already but i waiting til we get partners so some of the stuff would be a bit more to the stuff they posted. I know the stress of some stuff at work and my sleep apnea is really worsening it all at the moment. I could use some cartoons?? do they exist about blood sugar? Anyone want to be epals or?? after this...i need support christy
