oh loo k icecream yum,. oh no I am given lemon jello. sob sob

I have not had my blood suger tesrted in a while. I probaly should but right now I am dealing with the acid reflex I have! I have not given up chocolate completely! I am having a hard time not eating after 8 pm! I have not tried to sleep on an incline yet and I really should! Some mornings,like today,where bad! Some days I feel bloated alot and it is has been more of a challenge to eat better! I am sure if I could lose some weight the acid relex would be better! My doctor even said that when I saw him two weeks ago! I have an upward battle! Alot more then I thought it would be! I need to keep on working on it! So much of why I feel crappy I am sure has to do with the acid relex! So amny people have it and I am on the list now!

Hey granny, Here I am again, better not to eat any food rich of sugar or sweet foods. It will harm you and your health. Better keep away from those stuff. If I were you, don't stare on those foods because it will trigger yourself to eat.

A small dish if you've had a low carb meal probably wouldn't be too bad. Try to have yourself tested before to make sure you don't start with really high blood sugars.

This is something you need to talk to your doctor about, because every person is different. My daughter's friend was diagnosed when she was about 18, and since I had a sister who had it, I thought she could no longer have sweets, but according to her mom, they don't say that, because it is better for her to get a little something, rather than take it away and deprive her, causing her to possibly binge on it. But if your situation is serious enough that even a small scoop will hurt, then I would tell you "no" and try to find another alternative.

Ohh Patsie..i am not diabetic and i want some too..but i thought there was some kind that you could get for a diabetic??..if they have candy..they must have other stuff for you..I know some people say its ok just as long as they don't overdue it or just take a small amount..maybe you might be able to if your Doctor says it is ok..hugs hun

i have no idea but i would not do it. i sometimes wonder how people stay away from sweets. its so sad. so sorry Hatley but we dont want to loose you. i look at it now kind of like the smokeing with me. i smoked 50yrs. sometimes i could cry for want of a cig. but i know i have to resist and it goes away after a few minutes. i know if i do, thats it. it will be the end of me.

Yes, it is possible to have ice cream while diabetic. First of all, unless your blood sugar is sky high and completely uncontrolled, a certain number of carbs can be figured into your daily diet and can include such a treat. Secondly, you can get your doctor to approve the occasional ice cream treat and send a note to your living center so they know you're permitted to include it in your diet. Finally, there are very good sugar-free ice creams out there that you might be able to buy and stash for the occasional treat. If they can serve you sugar-free jello, they can serve you sugar free ice cream.

I can't even imagine have diabetis and not being able to eat my treats as I like to. And icecream is high on my list. I really don't know what I would do. I wonder if you can have an occasional treat. Do they even make icecream for diabetics? My ex has diabetis and he keeps sugar treats with him at all times.

awwwwww i am sorry to hear about that. my boyfriend loves ice cream so much but i always tell him to control it because he has a family history of diabetes also.. he just never listens to me. maybe that is okay Hatley, but just a small amount okay? heheheh i am a little worried about you and your health. take care

You had better not to give in to yourself and eat it.They say that every 100 g ice cream contains protein 2.4g,fat 5.3g,sugar 17.3g,etc.People who suffer from diabetes must abstain from many kinds of food.My sister has suffered from it for many years.She exactly fulfills the doctor's instructions all the time.She now keeps the diabetes in check.

How about getting a bit creative with your vanilla ice cream(the sugar free one); Add a few drops of vanilla extract,or a chopped mint leaf,or what ever you would like to enhance the taste without harming you.

yes. this sort of a thinking is common among people like us. I have been classified as probable diabetic. so i am supposed to avoid. but when i go for marriage parties I do indulge in sweets - however normally no to ice cream. because it causes throat problems and wheezing problems also. In your age, you can take once in a while in small quantities - 50 gm ice cream and not 100 or more. ok. but once a person starts taking he/she cannot resist the temptation for taking more and more.

depends on your morning glucose levels. I am diabetic too dear Hatley and give in to some cravings here and there. My biggest weakness is crusty bread. Most of the time it will not even let my blood sugar rush up but I will notice the scales are protesting the next day

Oh yes, maybe once a while- Noo, only once i would tell you Hatley ma'am! :). Oh, okay it all depends on the level of sugar you have.If it's going to be below 160,maybe yes, then once you could have it. Why can't you try out some sugar-free icecreams that are available in the markets? (i guess it would be in Walmart)-the chapman's or something?I guess people say it is good.My cousin always has it when she is tempted to eat those icecreams.Ah!She is one diabetic patient-most of my family members in that case i would say.They all have coffee and tea without sugar?Oh my gawd! How do they drink it?I wonder..That's just going to be soooo difficult.So is it like that for you as well? And if it is going to be above 200,then ma'am i would suggest you not at all to look at the icecream-we all would be happy to see this old ma'am coming aroung and commenting and posting discussions rather than shooting up with the problem of diabetes and being in the hospital or so..We never would want it.Maybe you could control your tongue then.It's just going to be so easy.Please follow what the doctor has said you.If he says "NO",then it's always going to be better on your part to avoid those. We would all want you being healthy, rather than you enjoying your life for a while eating those mouth melting icecreams and suffer for a while as well (OH i never did want to mention about these sufferings- you would be healthy okay?) God bless you! And "Do take care of your health."

Control your child like habit. Be careful about your health.

I do hope it is and today I gaved in and had a beautiful cinnamon bun. I haven't had bread or much startch for five weeks now and have lost 11 ounds but another 20 or 19 to lose. I did so enjoy it though. I think f you test yourself and cut down on something else then it may be all right to indulge in a treat occasionally. Ask a nurse or your Dr. I think it would depend on your sugar levels in your blood. Many blessings. I am doing okay - just waiting on a date.

Hi Grandma Hatley, it is indeed a pity that people with diabetics can't consumed quite a lot of sweet and delicious dessert. My mom is also a diabetics and she had been on the track for many years. She is on a diet but do consumed a little of sweet dessert whenever she felt want to faint. But, she always make sure that she don't consume too much of sweet which can cause her life. It is depending on the situation. If you feel very weak and want to faint, it is alright to consume a little sweet. But, always make sure to consume plenty of plain water after that, to flush away those unwanted sweet from your body.

Dear Mrs Hatley, nobody's asked whether you're on insulin or not, because the answers are different for each case. If you're not on insulin, you're entirely dependent on diet control and you can't afford these treats unless you're prepared to put up with insulin injections (I had a heparin injection in the stomach once, because I suspected I might be developing a DVT, and it wasn't pleasant - the daughter of a pastor of mine suddenly developed Type I at the age of 19, and I feel for her). If you're on insulin, you can perhaps increase the dose slightly to handle the extra sugar; but if you're not, be thankful, it's a real pain, missing out on ice cream is a small price to pay. Yoghurt is lovely, and, frozen, it really doesn't taste unlike ice cream - I used to have it in the Royal Marsden Refectory when working at the old Chelsea Hospital - but you may lose out on the acidophilus/bifidus if it's frozen and supposed to have been live.

Hatley..I am not diabetic but I try to cut down on sugar and go for sugarless products. I just discovered Mrs. Butterworths sugarless pancake syrup..it's only 20 cal per 1/4 cup and it's fabulous on french toast..

I think you can eat occasionally one scoop of ice cream only that it is sugarless or absolutely no sugar for diabetics. You need to minimize eating more carbohydrates because it might receive bad effects to your health. Just be careful what you are eating.
