| lotsofchoices | #diabeteschat Thanks for the chat! |
| dietexpertnj | A10: I like to have clients write out foods/meals in advance- that way u can access it b4 eating it! #diabeteschat |
| nutritionjill | @Krille007 depends on too many variables. Must measure b4 & after. Must be own detective. #diabeteschat |
| coolngroovyjc | “@CDiabetesInfo: Have you tried using an app to track weight loss / food ?? #diabeteschat” @nutritionjill I have UP jawbone app clunky |
| laurenpincusrd | Serving size for banana is 1/2, for strawberries 1 1/4 cups. Bananas are dense, need to watch portion size. #diabeteschat @Krille007 |

| laurenpincusrd | I like it but question it’s accuracy. It’s a motivator more than anything. #diabeteschat https://t.co/Av6Y9l0hLs |
| twicediabetes | @CureT1Diabetes Yeah, I always forget that it’s an advertising thing ’til I’ve commented on something & then notice the ads. #diabeteschat |

| jenniferneily | @LaurenPincusRD Interesting! i was wondering about FitBit accuracy! I always feel they overestimate…. #diabeteschat |
| coolngroovyjc | #diabeteschat @nutritionjill WW worked for me yrs ago. But not since type2. Too much emphasis on calories |
