If you have a smartphone, such as a Blackberry. You can download it as an app and enter in the foods you have eaten as you go. I know there are a lot of other calorie counters out there but I've been most impressed with this one. Easy and quick to use. Try it out and see if it works for you.
I keep a bowl of sliced radishes, celery, carrots, etc sitting on the counter most of the time, so whenever I walk by, I can grab a few slices to munch on. This keeps me from being so hungry at meal time. I also keep a large tumbler of iced lemon water on the counter and I sit at that whenever I walk by, as well. Drinking water keeps me hydrated and helps keep me fuller.
And of course, there's always exercise.
Dr. W. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "fat and happy." Well, it's not just folklore. The same carbs that make you fat (and contribute to diabetes and other problems) also make you happy. It's simple science: Carbs allow more of the amino acid L-tryptophan to penetrate your brain. The L-tryptophan triggers your brain to make more serotonin, and the serotonin makes you feel happier. It's as simple as that!
I am 45. Discovered I had cateract in both eyes and had a panic moment and decided to have surgery. The first surgery was the eye that was the worst of the two. I didn't have any major issues, but I also was NOT at all sedated just numbed (they "forgot" to do the sedation) and in two weeks my vision was clear as far as shapes and colors but I could no longer wear my normal reading glasses and ended up getting readers.
A well balanced diet will keep anyone healthy. The best foods for him are the same foods that are good for you. However, lower carb foods can help prevent highs.
What a diabetic needs to understand about food is that to accurately count the carbohydrates in the food is essential. If you need help figuring out carbs, Calorie King has an excellent book which lists carbs for most foods and restaurants.

What kind of dr. are you seeing? A primary or an endocrinologist? I stopped seeing primaries cuz they seem to be dumb when it comes to these things. I am sure they are educated in it and know the information... but they don't seem to have time for them. My newest primary actually told me to see an endocrinologist because he didn't want to steer me wrong.
When I had gestational diabetes before Type 2... my lows overnight also would reach upper 40's and low 50's.
Yes.... its just called "medhelp",...... I think maybe blackberry does have it... search it.. =) its ok... hopefully someone lets me know lol.
s mother you might want to ask her the next time the child goes to the doctor to pick you up a carb counter booklet. Or you can call the doctor yourself, not knowing the details of the arrangements this might be better.
Getting to know what the child likes to eat will help alot! You also might want to see if you and your husband can take the child to his next appointment. If that's possible then you can talk with the doctor and/or the nurse to see what you can do to help.
I am not sure there is medication specifically for depression that can be bought over the counter. I have tried St John's Wort and 5HTP, and think they are the only ones apart from supplements that are supposed to help. Also tried Kalm, and Quiet Days. None of them effective for me really.
I'm referring to the blue lines on the reports or graphs. They don't reflect the totals I set up on my profile. For example, my preference for calories is 1200, but the blue line on the report or graph is still showing on 2000 calories. I think it would be more effective if these lines adjusted to the amounts I set in my preferences. It would be easier to see how I was doing without actually looking too carefully at the numbers.
