Wendy had a good point in her comment on the last post. Her exact words were "Maybe people with diabetes feel like life is too short not to enjoy the foods you like the most". I'm sure that for some this is true. Do you eat to live or live to eat? Yeah, I enjoy a good meal, but I also thrive on being fit, healthy and feeling good. The latter always wins over the former for me, so I guess I eat to live.
Check this blog: http://michellestype1diabetes.blogspot.com/. The choice of food that Type 1 gamers put in their mouth may have a greater effect on control than we're made to believe...

Wow...that blog is amazing! I'm impressed with her self control and commitment to thinking "outside the box"!
Sadly, though, I wonder how effective it would be for someone like our girls who were dx 5 - 7 years ago....not to mention that (IMO) our kiddos are still growing and need grains and dairy.
Good food for thought though...I wish I could get my act together to eat to live!

thanks for the links Wendy.
and give yourself a bit more credit, living GF requires more self-control than we often realize.
