sarahjeanrd | A7- Although to mix it up I love hummus in a HB egg or just a HB egg 😉 #DiabetesCHAT | |

cdiabetesinfo | Q10: How do Kirkland brand products compare to the name brands? #DiabetesCHAT | |
dentistmel | @mahodorowicz Oh that sounds heavenly! #DiabetesChat ad | |
mahodorowicz | #DiabetesChat I get my cat food at Costco. Anybody else? | |
dpmerritt0215 | Check manufacturer website for your meds. Many have discount cards which leave you $10, $20, $25 to pay instead of $100+. #DiabetesCHAT | |
dentistmel | @Techtembo888 @mahodorowicz @CDiabetesInfo I am guilty of white sometimes. Bad. Everything in moderation though. #Diabeteschat ad | |

maureensrn | A-10 I have to give a shout out to Kirkland Weight Loss Shake- 180 calories, 10G protein, 26 grams of CHO, and 5 grams fiber. #DiabetesChat | |
mahodorowicz | #DiabetesChat Don’t forget toothpaste and dental floss for good oral health. Important for people with diabetes. | |
techtembo888 | @DiabetesINFL @CDiabetesInfo A10 same quality and maybe better too! #DiabetesChat | |
amypcampbell | A10: Kirkland brand products are of excellent quality! And you can’t beat the price! #DiabetesChat | |
mahodorowicz | #DiabetesChat Gum disease can lead to a heart infection! Yikes! Floss those teeth every night!! | |

cleverlychangin | My daughter is a vegetarian diabetic and I’m trying to come up with a menu for her birthday party. #diabeteschat | |

techtembo888 | @amypcampbell what are some good liquids with electrolytes for diabetics? #DiabetesCHAT | |
amypcampbell | @koshereye @Techtembo888 Large bagels – full of carbs and calories. Go for the whole grain, smaller ones. #DiabetesChat | |
dentistmel | @LaurenPincusRD Agree. I am a big fan of seltzer. #DiabetesChat ad | |
dentistmel | @Techtembo888 @DiabetesINFL @CDiabetesInfo Everything in moderation is fine! #DiabetesChat ad | |
amypcampbell | @Techtembo888 Give coconut water a try – has electrolytes without all the extra sugar found in sports drinks. #DiabetesChat | |
diabetesinfl | Remember you can download our free diabetes store tour from @Costco here: http://t.co/Ok3eiuvkH0 #diabeteschat | |
