Diabetes365 day 7 Oct. 14th 2007 - Low carb breakfast

One of the problems with having diabetes is that carbohydrates taste way too good.

But there are great-tasting low carb alternatives to a breakfast of bagels, or fruit, or name your carb challenge.

Diabetes365 day 7 Oct. 14th 2007 - Sunday eggs

We have chickens in our backyard and they give us wonderful eggs. The egg on the top is from one of our chickens, the other is store bought. Look at the difference in color and the height of the yolk.

And I was able to have a great breakfast with these eggs, a little ham and cheese. Less than 5 minutes to a yummy omelette.

If you've got diabetes, you may want to keep chickens. They give you better and healthier eggs. You get to appreciate chicken cliches in a whole new way. And they're hilarious to watch and laughing is good for your health.

There is no cure for diabetes at present. But comedy makes the time go by faster!

Easier carb calculations thanks to CalorieKing and Joslin

I read about this in the latest CWD newsletter, and it seems like a great tool to use if you're doing carb or calorie counting.

CalorieKing and the Joslin clinic have combined to create a Web Browser toolbar. This allows you to search for food information (carbs, fat, calories) quickly from your browser. And it works for both Internet Explorer and Firefox!

Here's what the installed toolbar looks like.

And here's an example of the results that it returns.
