Diabetes In Control Dot Com.

Really REALLY good article. As always, diet isn't the answer. Well, it's PART of the answer.

I'm working with another teacher on a project for the district. I didn't really think it was stressful, but my blood sugar was running around 175 all day, which is high for me. The good news, is that I got it down to 110 at the gym.

So plan is to do my cardio in the morning this week and see if that fixes the problem.

I really want my sugar low for the next round of surgery.

Several months ago I found out I was disposing of my sharps wrong ....

Well, I dropped them off at the doctor's office and the receptionist barely blinked, so maybe that will work.

I also found an outfit called "OnSite Medical Waste Disposal" (Or close to that), who also offered to take them for free.

Yahoo! News - CDC Issues Diabetes Warning for Children

I think the article is referring to Type 2 diabetes throughout the article but it isn't clear.

Unfortunately we're sending mixed messages.

One of my problems this year, was shutting off the vending machines during lunch. Good idea but they are on the first few minutes and last minutes of lunch. And we have one of those machines that serve ice cream. Two problems I have ... kids don't need ice cream at school and they were smearing the ice cream all over the place! Unfortunately it was the most popular machine.
