-> I shall :D

I agree with you, but I wouldnt have told mine because i'm mean to my boyfreind ;D, but then if he were the one to have diabeties i would put all the sweets in a place where he would not find them or in a place where they would be foud but labled "Dont you dare touch this!"...but oh well, so dose any one else in your fammily have it or are you the only one?

-> My dad is type 2, so its completely different from me and he was only diagnosed recently in his years of almost or is 50. But currently he has more problems than his diabetes, his spleen is enlarged and he has been loosing a bit to much weight because of his sickness.

Hug I am with you,forever. I've been recently told that I was suffering of high cholesterol(even though I eat healthy as shit).It's always really hard to see people enjoying ice cream,chocolate,cookies and cakes.Even harder when my brother and my mom ate those meals in front of me.They care about some restriction,but it's awfully hard.So they gave up and nvm about me.I'm at risk about diabetes(family heritage) and I'm being extremely cautious.But I really feel you,and how you're struggling. @/Birdo [Edit] I saw typo everywhere.

-> nods for birthday parties I cant have cake so I normally dont even bother asking. My own birthdays I make my own no sugar added cakes and diabetic friendly icing too. Its fun to make my own deserts but I havent gotten the chance yet to do it again. When at my fiance's moms place, desert is always a no for me, she knows i cant and keeps asking me every time which is sweet in a way.

I swear,it's hard to have a cake that doesn't contain cholesterol.I usually bake a cake with no milk and no egg.

-> without milk or egg ? how does one to that when sometimes those make the cake fluffier?

Umh well..they are simple flat "dryed" cake :(? But when you don't have any choice,you can't do anything. I browsed over the internet and most of them seems..weird.

-> that is interesting. Seems like an interesting thing to try nonetheless.

I'm not diabetic, but I have been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. If you're not familiar, it's my body cannot get enough sugar. Or it goes through it too much. If I get stressed out, my blood sugar takes serious surges. I've had it tested at 40 before. That's almost low enough to send me into a coma. It's an awful feeling, and I constantly have to make sure I eat enough food, or the right kinds of food. It gets expensive. Cheap foods contain cellulose and a lot of sugars that just spike the levels in my blood without actually maintaining it. It's a diet of always watching what I eat, making sure I eat before I do almost anything.

I have family that is diabetic, and I've seen them stick needles in their butts and all over (which I always thought was goofy when I was a kid, until I actually had to get a shot in my ass once. :/) I'm sorry anyone has to go through this, but it would be so much easier if there were actually good food readily available to everyone that didn't contain so much garbage, chemicals, processing, and unneeded sugars.

Id agree, and I know quite a bit about Hypoglycaemia. I have a few friends that have it and I know the difficulties it comes with. Being diabetic, we can bounce between the Hypo, and the Hyperglycaemia ... but of course as being diabetic we can manage it in the ranges of blood sugar that can stabilize it through out the day. I know the feeling of a dangerous low or high, Ive actually been in a coma and it isnt the funest thing to be in. even as a diabetic what I eat can drastically change how my sugars go, I now have my fiance hiding his candy on me cause its a temptation i dont like. lol yes the needles, i do that every day, the only time it goes in my butt is when im almost in a coma.

What does it feel like to go into a coma? Can you wake out of it on your own, or will only insulin wake you?

When my sugar drops, I just want to sleep. That's the best way to describe my sickness. My husband thinks I'm just being crabby but it's like I either need to eat something good ASAP or take a nap until food gets to me. It doesn't happen often anymore, and what sucks is I don't even have to be hungry for my sugar to fall low.

Being in a coma.. All I can really say is that its like falling asleep. I only came out of it because I was babysitting and it was when I apparently woke up from a sudden nap to open the door did it happen. It was like at 7pm I felt drowsy and so I laid on the couch and blacked out. They told me I got up at 9ish to open the door for the mom and when I really came to I was still laying on that couch with paramedics around me and my friend crying. I was baby sitting her 4yr old cousin at the time. the feeling.... is like falling asleep....

Along with health problems my friend found out her mom had stage 1 cancer yesterday, she was crying. :(

Wow. That's a little frightening, at least for me. I mean, it doesn't feel like going into a coma lol. It's just sleepiness.

All I know is that there needs to be better foods for everyone! I know I wouldn't have issues like this if I ate better. There's a saying on the internet, "Organic Food!... or as your grandparent's called it, FOOD!" Always make me laugh. I try to eat decent, but sometimes you don't know what half the crap means on the ingredient list. :/

Edit: I've also never had a problem with this until I became pregnant, a little over four years ago. And it hasn't gone away. My son isn't diabetic, nor am I. I didn't abuse alcohol, have any liver or kidney problems, or pancreas problems. Strangest thing.

oh my god I am so sorry to hear that. That must have been terrifying to find out. :C so not cool.

Oh i know all about ORGANIC food. hell my last boyfriends family was all about the healthier side of eating... i gained 30 pounds while eating that organic crap. :C not my picnic i tell you. For a diabetic eating healthy can mean a bunch of things. Mainly as long as you stick to a meal plan that gives you a bunch of options then your all set. And yes it is terrifying to be in a coma.. lol like falling asleep and not waking up.

Only good news is they found it out early.

yes, that is the good news. the sooner its found the easier the treatment right?

Pretty sure that's how it is, never had anyone I was close with have cancer so I wouldn't know.

me either... the only person i really knew who had it in my family was my grandpa.. but he wasnt close to my family side.
