Yes, People with Diabetes Type 1 and Diabetes Type 2 Can Still Eat Out
By Tony Collins
Just because you have been diagnosed as having diabetes does not mean that you can no longer eat out in restaurants. You still can, but you
need to start ordering the healthy stuff on the menu -- those that are low fat, low carbohydrate and low sugar. Many restaurants today are willing to adjust the
food at your request. After all, the last thing restaurant owners want is to lose business! In fact, most restaurants, including the fast food chains, now include in their
menu food choices that are low fat or are cooked healthier to suit people with medical conditions such as diabetes. So if you see something on the menu you like but
you aren't sure how much fat it has, all you need to do is ask your waiter. They can even give you suggestions. When you eat out, choose foods that are
described or specified in the menu as "broiled, " "skinless" and "low calorie." These are foods that diabetics can eat. Watch out for foods on the menu that have the
words "fried, " "breaded, " and "supersize" in them. You need to avoid these foods. In addition, ask which ones have MSG so you know not to order
them. But what if you are at a restaurant and the workers there speak little English, or worse they don't speak English at all? How do you make sure that you
order foods that are safe for diabetics to eat. You can still communicate with them, but you'll need to do some planning ahead of time. Before you go to a restaurant
where you may have a hard time communicating with non-native English speaking workers, visit the Select Wisely site (selectwisely.com). There you'll find questions
already translated in several languages. Simply print those out and take them with you to the restaurant. The American Diabetes Association also has useful
tips: * Eat out around the same time you normally eat each day as this will prevent your body from being "shocked" when food is introduced in the
system. * Eat more slowly; doing so promotes better food digestion and helps you avoid overeating. * Pass up French fries and other oily
foods. * Avoid or severely limit your alcohol intake. * Reduce the your meal portions. Eat just two pizza slices instead of five or the entire thing. If you
don't feel full yet, order fresh green salad or cooked vegetables. * Monitor your blood glucose levels prior to eating and after. Take your insulin shots on time,
regardless of where you are.

1 Apr 2008 at 10:10am Barnes-Jewish Hospital - Type 1 DiabetesBarnesJewishHospital 2 min - Apr 1, 2008If you met Summer Richardson of St. Louis, a vibrant, young social worker for the aging and disabled, you'd find it hard to believe that just months ago fatigue often dampened her enjoyment of travel, shopping and eating out with friends. When excessive thirst led her to the doctor's office for a suspected urinary tract infection in 1997, Richardson was instead diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes caused by her body's inability to produce insulin. "Until I started going to Barnes-Jewish Hospital regularly in 2005, controlling my diabetes so that I could lead a normal life was a struggle," says Richardson." The hands-on approach and educational focus of the diabetes specialists have helped me tremendously. They really understand the disease, and their accessibility and concern make me feel more like a daughter than a patient." At the Washington University Diabetes Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Richardson has learned how to better manage her diabetes and regain control of her life. This training has allowed Richardson flexibility with her diet, exercise and insulin pump regimen. "For the first time since my diagnosis, I know when I'm sleepy that it's not because my blood sugar is too high," says Richardson. "I know that seems like a small thing, but it's huge for me." Collaborative Care The new Diabetes Center uniquely enables diabetes patients to select the members of our team of experts they need to see along with their primary care physician. They also can select which services fit their needs at different times of their lives. Patients access the most advanced technology, treatments and clinical research for their diabetes care?all under one roof. "The center offers in- and outpatient care and services, research and education, in a caring environment enhanced by superior service," says Garry Tobin, MD, a Washington University endocrinologist at Barnes-Jewish and medical director of the Diabetes Center. "Patients can seek help from an institution recognized as a national leader and from specialists who can help them manage diabetes through various stages and the ups and downs of coping with a chronic disease." Whether you're newly diagnosed or have had diabetes for years, you can benefit from the advantages associated with the Washington University Diabetes Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Read more...
25 Feb 2008 at 8:03pm Chapter 17 ; PART THREENickJLovee 6 min - Feb 26, 2008Chapter 17 ; PART THREE Doctor: Mr. and Mrs. Dolan? Are you here? Mrs. Dolan: Yes, Yes of course. Mr. Dolan: What's going on? Is McKenzie going to be okay? Nick: *He came too, he just had to know* Doctor: We're still running tests, but we think she has Diabetes. Nick: *Starts firing questions* Type 1 or 2 Doctor: Well, we're double checking now, but if she does have Diabetes she'll have type 1. Nick: How long until you know? *Mr. and Mrs. Dolan were taken aback by how involved he was, but it was probably better he asked the questions than them. They knew nothing about the disease and he knew it all* Doctor: About 2 or 3 hours. But *cutting Nick off before he could ask his next question* yes, you may see her. Just a few at a time; there are a lot of you here and you don't want to overwhelm her. Nick: Thank you, so much. Mr. Dolan: Yes, so much. Mr. and Mrs. Dolan went in to see McKenzie first. When they finished they invited Nick in with them. They had a few questions for him. Ultimately, they just wanted to know as much as they could about Diabetes. It was best to ask Nick, they thought, he could explain it so they would understand. They wouldn't need to have a handbook to Doctor Language next to them. He explained the whole situation very well. McKenzie woke up while this was going on. McKenzie: So, what's wrong with me then? Mr. Dolan: The doctors are still running tests, but they think you might have Type 1 Diabetes. McKenzie: *Tears up and looks at Nick, now they'd be closer than ever...but she had to ask* Am I going to Die? *Mrs. Dolan cries out in hysterics at this question -- she couldn't lose her daughter at 15.* Nick: *Smiles* That's the first thing I asked when I was diagnosed. No, you're not going to die. This is treatable. I mean look at me, I've had it for almost 2 years now. And I'm perfectly fine. You just have to take care of yourself. Mrs. Dolan: The doctors should know in a few hours. We'll be able to take care of you better then. McKenzie: Does this mean I can still go on tour with Nick and everyone tomorrow? Nick: Well, we're trying to extend the leaving for another day. But can she come after that? *Looks anxiously to Mr. and Mrs. Dolan* Mrs. Dolan: I don't think that's such a great idea... Mr. Dolan: Why not honey? Think about it. Who better for her to be with? Nick knows the situation, and the disease inside and out. He has to treat himself for it everyday! He's got to have a schedule and he'll know exactly how to help Kenzi check everything out. Right? *Looking at Nick* Nick: Oh course, I've got my whole situation under control. Mrs. Dolan: I guess you're right sweetie. Nick, I want you to take care of her okay? Make sure she gets this stuff right, we're depending on you. Nick: And I promise I won't let you down. Mr. Dolan: Nick, can I talk to you in the hall really fast? And honey, I think we should give the others a chance to come see her. Mrs. Dolan and Nick: Okay. Kevin, Deena, Joe, Kacy, Cassie, Frankie, and Mr. and Mrs. Jonas were all waiting when Nick and McKenzie's parents came out of the room. Nick went down the hall with Mr. Dolan and Mrs. Dolan went to greet the Jonas'. (AN: To lighten the mood a little I thought I would inform you all that fluffernutter -- those sandwiches with peanutbutter and marshmallow fluff -- is amazing.) Nick: What did you want to talk to me about sir? Mr. Dolan: I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate for all you've done for Kenzi and all that I know you will do for her in the future. I can tell you care a lot about her, and I know that you're a good kid, and you'll never hurt her. Nick: Thank you sir. You can completely trust me. Mr. Dolan: Trust me, I know. I saw how you explained the whole thing to Cassie in the car. I don't think anyone could've explained it better. Read more...
23 Nov 2007 at 4:03pm Love Diabetes: Is it really diabetes?AllieBeatty 5 min - Nov 23, 2007http://www.LoveDiabetes.com - Fascinating question and definitely worth an answer! Diabetes Health Magazine asks the question -- is it really diabetes if you don't have complications? Nick Trubov wrote the article from the perspective of a person living with Type 1 diabetes since 1963. The mystery of blood sugar control will always be unsolved for those of us 'gifted' with diabetes. The word 'gifted' is spoken with tongue-in-cheek (and a choice finger gesture). However, there is no mystery that those people who were diagnosed with Type 1 and began insulin treatment with natural beef or pig insulins are better off today than those Type 1s who did not have the choice. Find out what has changed, then and now. Hint: look for words in the patent article like compromising and mixing and matching. Is that fair to sell insulin with His design compromised? Read more...
19 Oct 2007 at 1:59am MyBLOOD DIET TYPE Unknown length - Oct 19, 2007http://www.SexyFatLoss.com <=== There is no hard and fast answer to how much a person should weigh in order to be healthy. But, women need to be concerned about weight because it can and does affect overall health. Obesity, or being overweight, can result in premature death and can contribute to many problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, cancer, breathing problems, arthritis, and problems with pregnancy, labor and delivery. The first, and best, thing to do is to talk with your health care provider about your weight. Together, you can talk about what a healthy weight is for you, based on your height, build (bone size, amount of muscle) and age. You can also use a tool called the Body Mass Index (BMI) to give you a pound range for a healthy weight. You take your weight and height and see where you fall on the BMI table for adults (see below). There is also a handy BMI calculator at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's web site (see resources at the end of this FAQ). Some general guidelines for losing weight safely are: ? Eat fewer calories. The best formula for losing weight is to decrease the number of calories you get while increasing your physical activity every day. Depending on how active you are, you may need between 1,500 ? 2,500 calories a day. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. ? Lose weight slowly. It is best to aim for losing 1/2 to 2 pounds a week. By improving eating and exercise habits, you will develop a healthier lifestyle. And, this will help you to control your weight over time. You will also lower your chances of getting heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. 'Crash' diets may take off pounds faster, but can cause you to gain back even more pounds than you lost after you stop the diet. ? Exercise. Get active for at least 30 minutes every day. You don't have to train for a marathon to be active! Brisk walking, gardening, riding a bicycle, tennis and dancing all count as exercise. You can also break up the 30 minutes into three 10-minute periods. To get even more active every day, you can do things like park farther away from the mall in the parking lot and take the stairs instead of the elevator. The idea is to use up more calories than you eat each day. This will keep the calories from being stored as fat in your body. ? Eat less fat and sugar. This will help lower the number of calories you eat each day. Select foods whose labels say low, light or reduced to describe calories or fat, including milk products and cheese. Eat lean types of meat, poultry, and fish. Eat less sugar and fewer sweets (don't forget that soda and juice can have lots of sugar). Drink less or no alcohol. ? Eat a wide variety of foods, including starches and dairy products. This helps your body to get the nutrients and vitamins it needs to be healthy. Include plenty of vegetables, fruits, grain products and whole grains each day. Don't skip dairy products ? there are many good tasting low, no, and reduced fat milks, yogurts, cheeses, ice creams, and other products to choose from. Proper calcium intake is needed for all women to prevent bone loss. Starch is an important source of energy that all bodies need, even when a person is trying to lose weight. It is found in foods like potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, beans, and some vegetables. Foods high in starch can become high in fat and calories when you eat them in large amounts, or when they are made with rich sauces, oils, or other high-fat toppings like butter, sour cream, or mayonnaise. Stick to starchy foods that are high in fiber, like whole grains, beans, and peas. ? Practice portion control. Eat smaller amounts of food at each meal. Let go of belonging to the 'clean plate club.' Don't feel like you have to eat everything on your plate, even when eating out. You can also try eating more small meals throughout the day, rather than three large meals. ? Get support. It can be hard to start a weight loss program, particularly if you are out of shape and not used to exercising. Ask your family and friends for support. Try to find an exercise buddy. Make your activity fun and social ? go on a walk or hike with a friend or learn a new sport like tennis or ice-skating. ? Treat yourself (once in a while). When trying to lose weight, we all feel tempted to 'cheat' by eating a favorite, rich food like cake or cookies. But, sometimes it can be helpful to eat a small amount of a favorite food. This may keep you from craving it and overeating if you do 'cheat.'
