Hi Michael,
Thanks for all of the information.  I am thinking of hosting a dance party for all of my girlfriends whose husbands don't enjoy dancing on September 21!  What fun!
Warmly, Joy

Hello everyone,

I friend of mine told me that there is a site where I can go and learn about food exchange.
However, I can?t seem to find what she is talking about. Does anyone here know what I am referring to? And if so, do you know where I can find it? Is this a document that I could possibly save it onto my phone? I?d like to have it as handy as possible. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Terri

I haven't been there for a while, but I'd try the American Diabetes Association at

www.diabetes.org

first. They developed exchanges long ago, and have updated them over time. I have diabetes, controlled with diet and exercise and metformin, but I learned the exchanges in the 1980s as a student dietitian. At that time they were all the rage. I think most people with diabetes have abandoned them and instead track carbs in their diets, but the exchanges are still a valuable tool.

Hello,

 This is the first time I've heard anything about something like food
exchanges. When I started going to my health and wellness center, I
was given an app recommendation for being able to find foods and their
nutritional make-up. The clinic is more concerned about tracking
calories, but I found that it had other nutritional information as
well. I also have kidney disease, and so have to watch potassium and
sodium as well. And not all foods will show potassium levels, so that
can get tricky for me. Anyways, the app is called my fitness pal. I'm
an Android user, and I was skeptical about if it would be accessible
or not. I found it fairly easy to use. I'd imagine there's probably an
app for the Iphone as well. Hope this helps.
Doula

Hello,

 This is the first time I've heard anything about something like food
exchanges. When I started going to my health and wellness center, I was
given an app recommendation for being able to find foods and their
nutritional make-up. The clinic is more concerned about tracking calories,
but I found that it had other nutritional information as well. I also have
kidney disease, and so have to watch potassium and sodium as well. And not
all foods will show potassium levels, so that can get tricky for me.
Anyways, the app is called my fitness pal. I'm an Android user, and I was
skeptical about if it would be accessible or not. I found it fairly easy to
use. I'd imagine there's probably an app for the Iphone as well. Hope this
helps.
Doula

Hey there listers,

I found this article interesting. There have been two new glucagon medications released/approved here in the United States in the last 2 months. This article is about the latest but it covers the previous one as well. Neither of the new meds need to be mixed. They are shelf stable and easy to use.

Calories have been found to be a red herring although a
factor leveled with other nutritional factors.  To explain
this, empty calories are empty calories.  If those calories
fail to bring other nutritional benefits those consuming them
really do get cheated.

This is reflected in the U.S.D.A. 2019 revised food
Guideance.

Right. And MyFitnessPal may be a good long-run tool, but to learn about
exchanges, you need to get the booklet from, I think, the American Diabetes
Association to find out what the exchanges are. Reading the nutrients in
foods can be pretty daunting when you first start, and sometimes one is
better with an idea of what's in a food rather than the exact amount of a
nutrient down to the nearest half-gram or whatever. Also, for learning, my
objection to MyFitnessPal and other apps (there are quite a few!) is that
many of the foods listed are entered by individual users, who may or may not
have carefully calculated the serving sizes and the nutrients in those
servings. As I said, they can be good tools, but I think it's better to
learn about the options first. I do not in any way recommend counting
calories! Energy is the least important thing to know about your food! For
people with diabetes, who don't have kidney disease anyway, the most
important nutrient is the carbohydrate count in the serving of whatever you
ate. And over time I recommend learning approximate carb counts for the
foods you eat most frequently, establishing an eating pattern, and not
counting anything because you've learned the usual foods. Then you can just
look up new foods as needed, rather than counting things carefully. This is
advice for Type 2's. If you're a Type 1, you need tighter control.

Completely agree, except what you describe is what I do as a type 1. Or
really anyone using insulin to meal bolus. In my opinion, type 2s not
bolusing have tighter practices  and more restrictions than a type 1 who
essentially can eat whatever, whenever as long as they have their
insulin/carb ratio right and are using it correctly. I don't personally eat
a lot of carbs, but with my pump, I just calculate my insulin/carb ratio
whenever I eat carbs, and it doesn't matter what time of day it is, or what
type of carb. Same for anyone bolusing with a pen.

But regardless if type 1 or type 2 or using insulin, counting carbs is the
most important thing. And understanding how carbs work in the body,
particularly your own, grin.

Sorry, Bridgit. I guess my comments were about my personal way of handling
things. I do not restrict foods. If I find a food that really affects my
blood sugar, I eat it very seldom. And there's a lot less calculation with
Type 2. But I have cut out almost all sugar, non-nutritive sweeteners, and
refined flours from my diet, meaning very few processed foods (no crackers,
chips, cereals, baked goods, etc. made with these things), which is, by the
way, different from cutting out a whole food group or two. Doing that has
made diabetes Type 2 very easy to handle. 

So thanks for your comments. I'm right and you're right. It depends on the
control the person has.

Sandy,


I am following the almost identical died that you are these days. I find that all of the above things you mentioned will spike my blood sugar very high and take forever to get back down. I do miss having a bowl of cereal with almond milk in the morning, but I just can?t make it work for me. I do know that other people can eat these things, such as oatmeal and just take more insulin to cover for it. However, that just doesn?t seem to work for me. Like you said, every diabetic is different in what affects them and what doesn?t. After 49 years of being a diabetic, I am finding that I am more sensitive to foods that used to not affect my blood sugars. I also know that it takes forever for my high blood sugar to get back down to normal. I keep my Dexcom high alert set at 160, since I feel terrible once I hit 180 and have to take a huge amount of insulin to get it back down to normal.

Yes, ultimately, diabetes is a very individual disease. What works for one, doesn't work for another. Most carbs don't impact me as much as described here, but I just choose to restrict wheat/grains, pastas, sugar, etc. from my diet. I have been vegetarian for years and have been vegan since last year. But what I do may not work for others. As long as we are testing and following what works for us, that's most important, smile.

Hi Diana,
The email you responded to from Sandy Ryan, which is below your email in this string of emails has recipes from the American Diabetes Association in the link.  Most of us now count carbs to figure out how much insulin to take and keep our blood sugar in a good range.  .  That information I received from my Diabetes doctor.  
If you wanted information when eating out that if a completely different story.  If I were you I would make an appointment promptly with a nutritionist to help with that.  I can let you know that the McDonald's kids meal may have as much as 100 grams of carbs in it.  I usually try to stick with 45 or 60 grams of carbs when I eat out.  I rarely eat at a fast food restaurant these days.  When at a sit down restaurant I will work with the waitress to just put on my plate the number of carbs I desire or I bring with me a zip lock bag in my purse for the leftovers.  At home I usually eat 30 to 45 grams of carbs per meal.
Warmly, Joy

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Food exchange site?

Hi Diana,

The web address I gave was not for recipes. It's where I think you may be able to find the Exchanges for Meal Planning. I have not looked there, but the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association developed them together. I did a Google search and discovered the latest ones may be from 2008. As I stated before, they are no longer the nutrition standard for people with diabetes. That doesn't make them useless, but it really is easier to track the carbs in your meals, as Joy pointed out, rather than figuring exchanges for everything.

Sandi

I have diabetes, controlled with diet and exercise and metformin, but I learned the exchanges in the 1980s as a student dietitian. At that time they were all the rage. I think most people with diabetes have abandoned them and instead track carbs in their diets, but the exchanges are still a valuable tool.

Goodle and My Fitness Pal app are also really great ways to find out nutritional amounts for foods. If you use a smart phone, it's super handy when out and about. Grin.

Hi Diana,
The email you responded to from Sandy Ryan, which is below your email in this string of emails has recipes from the American Diabetes Association in the link.  Most of us now count carbs to figure out how much insulin to take and keep our blood sugar in a good range.  .  That information I received from my Diabetes doctor.  
If you wanted information when eating out that if a completely different story.  If I were you I would make an appointment promptly with a nutritionist to help with that.  I can let you know that the McDonald's kids meal may have as much as 100 grams of carbs in it.  I usually try to stick with 45 or 60 grams of carbs when I eat out.  I rarely eat at a fast food restaurant these days.  When at a sit down restaurant I will work with the waitress to just put on my plate the number of carbs I desire or I bring with me a zip lock bag in my purse for the leftovers.  At home I usually eat 30 to 45 grams of carbs per meal.
Warmly, Joy

Hi Walter,   Icon - SDP <http://main.diabetes.org/images/content/pagebuilder/ADV_2019_E-newsletter_icons_SDP_new-_3_.png> 

In less than three weeks, funding for the Special Diabetes Program (SDP) will expire. Your senators and representative need to hear from you today! 

SDP has already led to life-changing discoveries, allowing Americans affected by diabetes to live longer, healthier lives. Because of SDP, we?ve seen better treatments, advances in prevention, and research moving us closer to a cure. But this progress is under threat unless Congress renews the SDP before September 30th!

 <http://advocacy.diabetes.org/site/R?i=O2ya_a3C8TqmsBUcB3-ynw> Please contact your lawmakers today. It?s easy?we?ve already drafted a template email for you. Click here to send your message now!

Thank you for joining the American Diabetes Association as we stand up for type 1 diabetes research and type 2 diabetes prevention and management programs. 

We will put an end to this epidemic, and we will do it together. We are Connected for Life.

Julia Nash
Director, Grassroots & Internal Advocacy
