Hi there I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. During my pregnancies (the last one 14 years ago) I was gestational diabetic and with my last child was insulin dependent, I had to inject three times a day. So I...

New ideas for dinner

audienitz @audienitz (15) • United States 3 May 10

Im so tired of fixing the same things over and over does anyone have any new ideas what to make for dinner?

crazy1 I'm a retired head chef, so for me new meal idea's are easy. Part of my training was the philosphy of 99% insperation, 1% persperation, in other words, what can I do with this or that to make it different or more interesting. Trial and error is a good thing...

Extreme Foot Pain…

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 9 Apr 10

As some of you know, I have Type 2 diabetes. I’ve been a borderline diabetic for about 13 years and in the last 6-8 months things have been getting much worse. My biggest problem is my feet. They are constantly swollen and so...

crazy1 Firstly, if you have type 2 diabetes, you're more than borderline diabetic. As for the problem with your feet, has your Doctor tried you on water pills,? the swelling could be caused by fluid retention, which of course starts in the feet. It would also pay to...

crazy1 Some movies won't play on media player. If you get it as an AVI file, the best I've found so far to watch the movie is an easily downloaded programme called VLC player. It's easy to use too.

New blog for diabetic recipes

Kowgirl @Kowgirl (3490) • United States 31 Mar 08

Since blogger deleted my blogs I have been asked if I was going to make another blog with low-carb recipes for diabetics. Well I thought about it for a few days and now I have started a new blog. It doesn't have a lot of recipes...

crazy1 I am a head chef and diabetic. Some of your recipes look interesting. If you research further, you'll find that things like sugar and fat are worse for you than pasta or rice, fat being worse for us than sugar. I for one can eat a plate of spaghetti...

Will you return to myLot?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 28 Feb 08

Inertia. What comes to your mind when I say INERTIA? Science lessons? Isaac Newton? A big beer belly? In plain talk, inertia means not getting up when you are already sitting. And the longer you sit, the harder it is for you to...

crazy1 Inertia is movement, to move is to cause inertia. I fail to see what that has to do with beer bellys etc. As far as the person you talk about, maybe he/she should try responding to friends discussions for a while, then move on from there.

I heard people don't add salt to the wather when they cook spaghetti?

lorelai @lorelai (1558) • Italy 1 Dec 07

Can it be possible? I live in Italy and I know that you have to add salt when you cook spaghetti because they taste much better. I know that salt is not very healthy but you trow away the water anyway. This summer I have been...

crazy1 Yes, as a head chef I've always added salt to pasta. No, it doesn't damage the pots. Most all pasta does need rinsing after cooking though, so that will get rid of some of the salt you've cooked in.

What is the worst for your health?

vicki2876 @vicki2876 (5636) • Canada 27 Nov 07

What in your opinion is worse for your health? Sugar, fat, salt, carbs, something else? I have always thought that fat was the worst, but I am hearing more and more that sugar is bad. But at other times it seemed like everyone was...

crazy1 All things are okay in moderation, it's when we have too much of one or more things it can be bad for us, just as eating too much in general is bad, or too much junk food. We all need a certain amount of salt, fat and sugar in our diet for good health, some...
