> http://www.recfoodcooking.com/ > > Thanks go to Terry (P'rfesser) for sending in this survey Thanks for this survey. I wonder how many have or know someone with Type 1 Diabetes. My 7 year old granddaughter was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and possible Celiac Disease. It's been difficult for her to be on a diabetes diet with insulin shots twice a day plus only eat gluten free foods. She is a very picky eater and only likes pizza, spaghetti, cheeseburgers (on a wheat bun) etc. We all are trying to cope and encourage her to eat the right foods. Rusty in MD |

As the resident PhD in nutrition, I admit to being an outlier. I had my blood tested less than two weeks ago. Glucose was great, and my total and LDL cholesterol were the lowest they'd been in years. Getting back on a bicycle for the first time in over 30 years to be part of a relay team in the Danskin Triathlon gets the credit. I haven't lost that much weight, but every bit helps. I'm still riding the bike home from work 2-3 times a week (7 miles), and will probably start swimming in the winter so I can do the full triathlon next year. My brother had type 2 diabetes, among other things. It may have contributed to his death at age 45, but the major cause was kidney failure due to sepsis (blood infection). OB Food: The SO grilled some country-style ribs for dinner. They weren't as fatty as other times we've bought them. Cindy -- C.J. Fuller Delete the obvious to email me |

One has the genetic component which they have no control over, but then families often tend to share the same eating patterns and fitness patterns which they do have more control over. Sadly we're seeing huge increases in type 2 diabetes even in CHILDREN! That was unheard of in generations past. Between the rise in diabetes, and the poor calcium intake of young kids who are drinking way too many sodas daily, I dread to think of the the consequences for them 25 years down the road. Osteoporosis and diabetes (with all the co-morbidities) won't be a fun to live with. |
