I'm always looking for easy, fairly fun ways to control my diet. I usually just keep a running track in my mind of what I've eaten in the past few days. Sometimes this helps me say no to the cookies or the extra servings of something yummy. Other times, it just makes me feel guilty that I can eat so poorly and not seem to care.

With all the talk of New Year's Resolutions and dieting, I keep coming across advice to keep a food diary. The articles usually point out that research shows keeping a food diary "even for just one day" can aid your weight loss efforts. (I haven't been able to find these studies, but maybe I'm just using the wrong search engine or key words.)
Keeping a food journal has been part of my routine for a very long time now. In fact, I have several editions of notebooks dedicated to logging every morsel of food that goes into my mouth (along with blood sugar readings and insulin dosing, of course).
It's also a cornerstone to the Weight Watchers program. "If you bite it, write it" is a common phrase heard in meetings. My leader, Kim, started what we call "The Magic Traveling Journal." The 12-week planner gets passed around to a different group member each week. (READ MORE)

Friday was my endo check up. It's the second appointment that I've had with the new doctor. And I'm still incredibly pleased with how it's going. She is nearly everything that I could ask for in an endo, especially at this point in my life.
I spent about an hour with her, reviewing my logbook and discussing my issues. The best part is that she doesn't make me feel any more guilty than I already do for not doing things 100% all the time with my diabetes. She's understanding and accepting.
We talked about my post-breakfast highs for quite awhile. Everything from trying a lower carb ratio (done, still see highs with nasty lows after) to the types of foods I eat for breakfast. She's on board with my next suggestion of going on Symlin.

I took Olivia to the pediatrician on Monday, to go over the blood work. Everything came back fine. Perfect. So this stomach thing has all of us stumped now.
I have a referral to a gastroenterologist because the pediatrician doesn't know what's wrong with Olivia. Fantastic.
The celiac panel came back negative, which was nice, although I've since read on the CWD parents mailing list that kids can have celiac without having symptoms or a funky blood test. That makes no sense to me, but people are saying they eliminated gluten from their children's diets and the stomach issues went away. Something to ask about, I guess.

I was reading through the dLife Viewpoints section today and saw a post that really hit home.
It's called "Bested by a Can of Tomato Soup" by Scott Johnson and I think it should be required reading for type 3's and other people without diabetes.
Counting carbs can sometimes be a difficult and maddening situation.
And we do it for virtually every meal every day. I mean, we are supposed to.

On one of my recent posts about Olivia and her stomach issues, Cathyiowa asked if I got an answer from the doctor about Olivia's stomach pain. O's pain is in her rib area as well as in her stomach. I don't have a specific answer just yet, but we did talk to the endo about it yesterday, at length.
I told the endocrinologist that Olivia's pediatrician had ordered another celiac test in addition to a full blood workup. Once those results are in (March 3rd, if you're keeping score at home), I should have more information. The endo didn't seem overly worried, but she did want to know the results. She mentioned h. pylori as a possible culprit, but after telling us the symptoms (which are really quite disgusting), she didn't think that was the problem.
