Anyone who is a diabetic should understand where i'm comeing from because being a diabetic is very expensive. I'm type 1 and been a diabetic since I was 3yrs old and it's a struggle everyday. Medications are to high. Diabetes is a very serious condition why don't they help diabetics out and you shouldn't have to be 65 and over to get any medicare or medicade or have very low income or a child, they should include people who have diseases at these department of health care services. It shouldn't have to be to a point to where your so ill that you cant do anything for your self to get SSI or any kind of medical help. Also, if they had a insurance plans "just" for diabetics it should cover any and everything.

Anybody that has diabetes do you think their should be a insurance plans just for diabetics?
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Need a high quality weight management cat food for extremely overweight cat?
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009we have 3 cats, ages 3,9, and an 11 year old. The 3 and 11 year old are in fantastic health and are great weights. All of the cats are indoor/outdoor. We live at a dead end with a patch of woods next to our house and they like to explore out there. They currently eat Taste of the Wild grain free cat food. It is great cat food and I would prefer they not eat any grains. I don't think they are any grain free weight management cat foods out there. What should we do for her? She weights 16 POUNDS and is a huge bowling ball. She went to the vet today to be checked for diabetes and had blood work done. She is not diabetic but we will find out if there is anything else wrong with her when the results to the blood test come back.
I am worried about if they all end up eating the weight management food it couldn't be good for the healthy weight cats. My mom said she could try to feed them separate though. Do cats need to free choice feed or eat twice a day?
If there are no weight management foods that are grain free then I will look into other brands as long as they are natural and holistic and have no corn, preservatives or by-products.
cats are carnivores and cannot digest grains. I also belong to a raw feeding forum where people feed rodents and what not to their pets. 95% of the time the intestines and stomach are left behind unless it is a nursing animal who drinks milk still.
so basicly for her cut out all dry food and switch to wet?

stress test two times a week for insulin dependent gestational diabetes??
Monday, March 30th, 2009She is fetal monitor specialist and said I will have to take stress test to monitor baby movements every week. And after 34 weeks 2 times every week. If I have to do it I will. But just feeling is this doctor doing this for Money? Do they really need to monitor baby every week two times a day if you have insulin dependent gestational diabetes?
Please only answer if you had a gestational diabetes or you know somebody with insulin dependent gestational diabetes and how many times they took this test. Since my gynacologist referred me to her I don't want to ask this question to my gynacologist. Thank you.
How do you stick with a healthy diet to manage your diabetes when you work in a dietary mine field?
Monday, March 30th, 2009I am a weak woman. It is so easy to eat what is convenient. It is easy to eat snacks provided by my employer instead of preparing a meal when deadlines are bearing down on me.
I know the risks of unhealthy eating. My aunt died from complications relating to out of control diabetes.
Is eating raw pasta bad for you?
Monday, March 30th, 2009I heard from some people that it is bad for your stomach,but I never had any pain in my stomach. I LOVE raw pasta (especially raw Barilla linguine,YUM!) I can't stop this. It's like an addiction to smoking,you can't stop if you see them. I just wanted to know because with some addictions,something is usually bad. I wonder if the nutrition is the same or better or worse. That's another question I would like to know.
I heard from a Google Search that it can cause set diabetes. PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS NOT TRUE. I need facts,not opinions. Try to search on the internet
P.S. Please,no dumb comments.
I had never had weight gain problems. I have a very fast metabolism.
