And I also enjoy being challenged, just ask my hubby. Haha. But it truly does make me think and dive further into research and find new and up and coming topics. I do want to make sure that I remind you that I bring you content for the most part from a clinical point of view. This means that I am providing new research, studies, techniques and ideas, and I don’t always agree with them! I am a medium to help you along.

Now with that being said, tell me your regimen? I want all of you to comment on this post and share what your daily diabetic treatment’s are. Do you test once a day or before and after each meal? Have you seen a big improvement in your lab numbers? Do you eat low carbs or no carbs at all? Do you have anything that you would like to share with fellow diabetics?

Personally, I test 3-4 times a day; when I wake in the morning, mid afternoon about an hour after lunch, before dinner and before bed. I think that testing at these times gives me the most accurate picture of my blood sugars. This is what I have decided on after 3 years of dealing with my own diabetes. This is not the end all or what will work for everyone, but it does for me. But I am always open to suggestion! I also eat low carb, I do eat 5 servings of low GI fruits and veggies a day, and I drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day, as well as 1 diet coke and 100 glasses of water. Ok, that might have been an exaggeration but that is what it feels like. Yes, then I take 50 bathroom breaks a day, I have to work on that. I pair all that with exercise, cardio for 30 minutes 4-5 times a week and low weight training 3 times a week. And of course the after dinner stroll is always nice!

So that is how I do it here in my neck of the woods. Tell me about you? Yes, I really do want to know! It helps us all challenge ourselves and re-evaluate whether our own treatment of our own diabetes is effective!
