Could anyone recommend an endocrinologist in the Portland Oregon
area?
Many thanks,

Jewell’s posting REALLY helped me figure out why the glycemic index hadn’t
worked for me. I am far more interested, with a couple minor exceptions
(like Idaho baked potatoes or peanut butter), in the CARB VALUE of foods,
for that is the only way I can control diabetes and keep my blood sugar in
the normal range without meds.

THANK YOU, JEWELL!!!

Sincerely,

Linda Yates

We can stop the apocalyspe, if we band together in love.

today I’d like to send out a message that I love each and everyone of
you.

Hello!
I was wondering about the concern over diabetics drinking alcohol.
I have been told by a few doctor’s that I should drink no alcohol
because it is like "mainlining" sugar to my system. This confuses me
because the dry white wine that I choose to have with dinner
sometimes contains virtually no carbohydrate and I do not need to
bolus insulin (I’m type 1, obviously) for it. Am I missing
something? Does the alcohol in my system raise my bs later due to
some metabolic quirk? I can certainly understand high carb beers and
sweet wines/cordials, but not my dearly beloved chardonnay. Any
ideas? I am a fairly new diabetic so I am not as savvy as all of you
to this!
Thank you so much!
