Thank you all for your comments. I was on vacation last week as well and was not able to read the comments throughout the days. Once again, I appreciate the opportunity to post and all of your comments.

I really appreciated your tip about not stressing over one high reading. It is true. I realized the same thing eventually and wish I wouldn’t have wasted so much precious time in the past freaking out over high blood sugar episodes. Now I just take action quickly and push worry out of my head. Nice post

I feel guilty when I eat a lot. My mother says that could cause diabetes. I try to exercise at least 40 minutes everyday but the problem is that I eat too much and am overweight. I will get myself tested for diabetes as soon as possible. Many family members suffer from this terrible disease. Thanks for educating the public about diabetes.

Hello Crhis,

Although I don’[t have diabetes, as a Dietitian, I am always in contact with people with the condition since I teach about overweight and the prevention or managing of diabetes. It is posts like this that teach me how to handle certain aspects of the disease when I talk to my clients.

Thank you for making this type of information available to us. I wish you the best.
