In the last few days we’ve had a lot of new readers to Blogging Diabetes. Today is also the day the diabetes newsletter comes out for QualityHealth. I would like to welcome all of the new readers. Below, I put together a quick tour of some popular articles and links on the site.
My name is Tony Rose and I have been blogging about diabetes since October 2008. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the summer of 1998, just about 12 years now. Utilizing technology, I have been pumping insulin with Medtronic since January 2006. This blog was started to help my readers and me to constantly learn more about diabetes from the online community and other resources. For those that do not know, I try to inform and provide insights about real-living with diabetes. To see more, you can click on the Welcome page.

Diabetes Magazine
Just last weekend while I was getting ready to pay for my groceries, I noticed this “gem” of a magazine by the register. I typically laugh at most of the magazines and entertainment guides that are strategically placed in these locations. This one caught my eye for obvious reasons.
OK, Seriously – I’ve been living with diabetes for almost 12 years and no one, not a single person, told me I could reverse my diabetes. With all of the information I’ve tried to share with you, I’m a bit disappointed. Not only can I reverse my diabetes, but I can do it with FOOD. SWEET (get the pun?)! If you are looking for 12 “Superfoods” that can just melt the pounds away, check this magazine out. On a semi-serious note, I would like to know how to improve my insulin sensitivity in 7 days. My sensitivity seems to change like I change my underwear. I didn’t buy the magazine because I do not want to support a company that advertises misinformation or misleading information.

IIRC, Outsmart Diabetes is a publication of Rodale Press. Rodale is known for its organic, food-, supplement-, and exercise-based, antipharmaceutical approach to health.
That said, (1) a number of early-stage T2s can improve our health and our clinical outcomes by paying closer attention to diet and exercise, and (2) a number of T1s can benefit from similar dietary modifications — however, this may not reduce a T2’s dependence on oral medications and/or insulin, and it will not obviate a T1’s need for exogenous insulin.
