Beat the Beetus

Name is Shelby. I am a type 1 diabetic. I have this blog to share my life as a diabetic. Help those that I can. Of any type.Though I will be able to relate to type 1 a lot more. I won't pretend to know something medically if I don't. I won't give straight out medical advice (very limited exceptions) because all of us our different with our bodies. I don't want to risk your life because something works for me. I will ask for advice and give advice. Gain support and give support. It's always nice to have people who can relate to you. <3 Feel free to ask me anything, suggest food and things that help motivate you to take better care of yourself.

I love you all! =D

...I prefer splenda. It does not spike my sugars at all. I prefer equal and sweet n low to sugar twin. Cyclamate and sucralose are the best. Stevia has a weird aftertaste I could never get used to, even though it's healthier. Aspartame-based sweeteners are still considered risky, especially while pregnant. STOP DRINKING FRUIT JUICES. I thought this was good for me too, when I was diagnosed. Juice spikes blood sugar like crazy. You can take cranberry supplements/ eat veggies high in antioxidants.
