For years I was a smoker. I smoked a pack a day at the very least for 15 years. Addiction is powerful.

 

I finally kicked that habit but realized that nicotine is not the only drug I am addicted to. The other is much easier to get and I am not sure I want to quit it yet.

 

Caffeine.

Are you hooked on caffeine drinks? They are everywhere! Caffeine is littered throughout cups of coffee, doubled up in cans of energy drinks, and even spilling from D-friendly diet sodas, making it hard to get away from. Maybe this is why so many adults, and teenagers, consume the stuff at a heart-pounding rate. But have you noticed the impact on your blood glucose numbers like I have? It can spike my numbers wicked fast if I am not on top of things. Sure doesn't make my employment at Starbucks any easier, the stuff is diffused into my veins with every breath I take!

I had a headache when I got home from work around 3:30 Monday morning.  I don't know what brought it on; I thought maybe it was stress or tension, or that I hadn't eaten in a while, or maybe even sinus related.  I did know that my blood sugar numbers were good, so that wasn't it.

 

Whatever it was, I just wanted it to go away. So, I found something to eat, took some Tylenol, and climbed into bed, hoping that the headache would just go away after a good night's sleep.  Much to my dismay, that's not what happened.

 

I woke later Monday morning with what can only be described as a migraine from hell. It felt like someone had hit me in the head repeatedly with a baseball bat or something.  It was immensely painful, and was accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound. Oh, and nausea, too.  It's been a long time since I've had a headache that bad, and frankly, I could have gone a whole lot longer without it, too.

These changes I wrote about recentlyare going pretty well. I'm choosing better foods to eat, only having human sized portions, and even cutting back on the soda.

 

I cannot believe I just typed that.

 

Soda. Diet soda is a vice I am not ready to give up entirely. I love soda in almost any flavor as long as it's diet odds are I'll like it.

 

But I drink a lot of soda. Way too much to be honest. And although diet soda doesn't seem to affect my blood glucose levels, the salt in it is not good.

Coffea Arabica, cup o'joe, java, brew, jamocha, mud, caffiene, cafe au lait, espresso, cappachino, latte, breve - you name it - I LOVE it. They CANNOT have my coffee!
It used to be that coffee lowered your risk of type 2 diabetes. Go ahead and get hooked on it, but once you get that diagnosis, now you gotta go cold turkey.
I'm sure you've seen the news to which I'm referring. It's also here. (READ MORE)

Ok. So today I want to discuss some research that I think is very interesting and it has to do with your favorite cup of joe.

If you remember, back in early December I wrote an article called Hyperglycemia coffee anyone?. The article discussed my feelings about drinking coffee and how I thought it raised my sugar. I had a few people comment on my post who had also experienced this blood sugar raising phenomenon as well.

Coffee makes my blood sugar high. I was reading someone else's blog about a month ago and it mentioned that coffee raised their blood sugar. When I read that, it immediately rang true to me. I usually have a cup or two each morning to get the day started off right. Lately though, after some "experimenting" of my own, I have found that this is absolutely the case for me. I'll drink a few cups over the course of a couple hours and then I test high each time. Coffee seems to be the "only" explanation for that.

Family. Health. Necessities.
We were all thankful for so much as we shared our turkey feast this year. We are spending the Thanksgiving weekend in Albuquerque New Mexico this year with my sisters and mother. Having to make a 13 hour drive made me thankful for low carb snacks and caffeine too.
The thing that stands out as I contemplate the meal last night was the laughter I heard and participated in. I laughed a lot. We brought up old memories of family events and funny stories. Joked about each others habits and quirks, and just laughed at my kids and my nieces being silly. It was a lot of fun and so comforting.
One of the few qualities I have is the ability to make people laugh. I love to poke fun at myself, the world, and pretty much everything! I am also good about not being mean but just funny. All and all it was a very good time. (READ MORE)

Think Hank Azaria. Not Hank from Mad About You. Hank as a gay latino in Birdcage. You have that image, right? Can you hear his voice? Oh, man is he a riot. And as long as he’s not acting like a gay latino, he’s quite the looker, too.

Diabetes is hard work. Everyday I use my brain to survive and thrive. Every day I'm a mathematician, nutritionist and doctor.
I add carbs together, often so naturally I never give it a second thought (until three hours later when my levels leap up to 250). I subtract and add boluses to achieve an accurate dose. I figure percentages of basal rates to achieve a better A1c. I find the averages of blood sugars, insulin totals and daily carb counts (or let my high tech meter and pump do it for me). My brain is full of numbers and levels just waiting to be added, divided and analyzed. (READ MORE)
