  1. diabetes testing

    Yes you can. There are two types of diabetes, but both involve regulating your diet,. Carbohydrate counting is especially important for type I diabetics, however both types can enjoy pizza and cheeseburgers in moderation. If diagnosed talk with your doctor and dietitian on getting on a plan that will work best for you.

    Yes you can. You can still have all the foods you enjoy. Just monitor your glucose levels and take the right amount of insulin for the foods you’re eating. Everything in moderation.

    you can but in moderation…like MAYBE at the most twice a month

    yes you can – You just have to control what you eat and the portions you eat

    Again, here is a specific question about food from someone who has a first name and one last initial.

    This is a troll.

    Sure you can. The simplest method for controlling the effect of food on you glucoes is through cabe counting. I use a palm pilot database to lookup the carb values of foods. this is freely available from.
    The basic single meat cheesburger from most fast food joints are a little ofer 31 carbs including the veggies and “special sauce”. Most diabetic diets range from 30 to 45 carbs per meal with a 15 carb bedtime snack. I seem to need about 35 per meal.
    With pizza, you may be limited to one or two slices.
    a second part of carb counting involves balancing your carbs between sugars, starches and fats. Sugars (found naturally in fruits) go into your blood quickly, starches take a bit longer to convert to sugar, and fats take the longest to raise you blood glucose.
