HAPPY FRIDAY!
Today's post is Diabetesalicious lite but diabetesaliciousness non the less~
Yours truly wrote a post over at at Health Central called: Diabetes or Not, Friends Look Out For Each Other. Stop on over and leave a comment (if you feel so inclined,) letting me know if you can relate!
File this in the "This is just plain ridiculous not to mention unhealthy" file. Donna Simpson of New Jersey wanted to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds fattest woman. Her current weight is 600 lbs and her target weight is 1000 lbs. I fell sorry for this woman and her family on so many levels. I hope that she gets the mental and physical help she needs so she can live to see her daughter grow up.
Yesterday's post, "Meters = Diabetes GPS System," was all about meter accuracy. Scott Strumello wrote an excellent and more detailed piece on the subject last night.
Bennet broached the subject at the beginning of the week and Kerri wrote a fantastic post this morning. Please check them out!
Want the FDA to know your thoughts? @BernardF tweeted a link to an FDA Document regarding blood sugar meter accuracy.They link takes you to both the document and a link requesting you to leave comments on the subject.
I have no doubt that the diabetes on-line community will set the FDA straight! Click HERE and leave let em know what you think!!!
Speaking of weighty issues, meter accuracy, and bolus worthy issues, today is National Chocolate Caramel Day- I kid you not, it really is. Go out and have a chocolate caramel or two- just be sure to test, bolus, & floss!
"OUT DAMN SPOT!!!' OR MORETIC Move #7987
So in my rush to try and get some work done and catch up on all things life and dBlog related while being a "good diabetic", I took my blood sugar (128 thankuverymuch!) and went back to the keyboard to my work webpage, finished what I was working on, and toggled to my Diabetesaliciousness page to see just how far behind in posts I was.
Then the phone rang (it was work,) I picked up and started walking around while talking on the phone (I tend to pace a lot when I talk on the phone) and answered all types of work related questions, promptly forgetting about the computer.
When I went back to my keyboard 20 minutes later, this is what I found:
Key Moretic blood evidence to the crime - the crime being what might be considered "poor diabetes etiquette" by some. I just call it part of the wonderfulness of being a diabetic~

A Diabetesaliciousness HodgePodge of Health Topics
CHILDREN OF THE CORN SYRUP
Tonight I'm going to see the documentary "King Corn" and I can't wait!
High fructose corn syrup is killing Americans and prepping our kids for a life of Type 2 Diabetes and obesity. Here's the link to the site. http://kingcorn.net/
Learn all you can; find out when out when the documentary will be showing in your area AND GO SEE IT. Read your food labels, and just say "NO"when using your purchasing power as educated consumers! You want sugar, that's OK, our bodies can break it down( except for us diabetics, we need to inject the insulin to break down sugars) but humans are not designed to breakdown high fructose corn syrup. It's actually illegal to use as a food additive in Europe!
The Japanese invented the stuff and they refuse to add it to their foods! WHAT'S THAT TELL U?
