| rmlacroix | @LaurenPincusRD @CDiabetesInfo @LyfeBulb @DiabetesINFL I’ll be here for a bit. Trying to get a healthy #dinner on the table! #diabeteschat |
| cdiabetesinfo | Q1: How can I maintain a stable blood sugar level in the morning? #Diabeteschat |
| lyfebulb | A1: Mornings are often tough due to the Dawn effect (cortisone surge) #DiabetesChat |
| maureensrn | A1 Avoid those late night snacks; preplan evening meals and exercise to optimize blood sugar levels #diabeteschat |
| lyfebulb | A1: Many w/ diabetes try to eat something small at first and then do exercise to get the insulin resistance down #DiabetesChat |
| lyfebulb | A1: Keeping glucose steady requires breakfast that is not huge in fast carbs, ie no croissant, toast, jams or pastries #diabeteschat |
| maureensrn | A1 Check morning blood sugars at same time every day, if possible, to get accurate readings. #diabeteschat |
| cdiabetesinfo | Save on diabetes supplies! Bayer Contour test strips @ discount on Costco CMPP. http://t.co/xVwSyOREeq #DiabetesChat http://t.co/kZzFzm3e9A |
| lowcarbrd | A1 Eat a breakfast with protein, healthy fat, and a small amount of slow-digesting carbohydrates #DiabetesChat https://t.co/BnAbsBUlHQ |
| lyfebulb | A1: I try to have oatmeal, berries or plain yogurt with nuts and berries #diabeteschat |
| lyfebulb | A1: This will last you longer and keep you from getting hungry quickly #diabeteschat |
| doctorsoption | A1: High-protein, low-carb snack before breakfast reduces post-breakfast hypoglycemia: http://t.co/yjxl5d9fXo #diabeteschat @CDiabetesInfo |
| laurenpincusrd | A1: It’s important to get adequate protein in your breakfast to help balance blood sugar #diabeteschat |
| cdiabetesinfo | #S4L A Bigger Breakfast for Better Glucose Control http://t.co/7lLLXAVetR #DiabetesChat |
| lyfebulb | A1: Take a look over this blog article which discusses mornings with #diabetes: http://t.co/JLSTHHNGLP #diabeteschat |
| diabetictalks | A1) Start the day with good fasting blood sugars by compensating for dawn effect when using the pump. #DiabetesChat |
| maureensrn | A1 if youre getting erratic A.M. glucose readings, keep a food and activity journal for a few days. May identify a problem. #diabeteschat |
| malinajlove | @CDiabetesInfo can be difficult with the dawn phenomenon being unpredictable. #diabeteschat |
| malinajlove | @CDiabetesInfo I check 1st thing upon awakening then an hour later because it can jump. #diabeteschat |
| diabetictalks | @malinajlove @CDiabetesInfo It definitely can #diabeteschat |
| pavedsilverroad | A1 I eat a protein snack before bed and basal test occasionally. Finally got it down, woke up in 80s this AM, SO thrilled #diabeteschat |
| maureensrn | A1 If youre diabetic and cant control A.M. readings, get checked for “dawn phenomenon”. Rebound hyperglycemia. #diabeteschat |

| lyfebulb | A2: And it is illegal to discriminate against someone w/ diabetes in the work place #diabeteschat |
| laurenpincusrd | Very important. Please think it’s only food. Also illness and lack of sleep raise blood sugar. #diabeteschat https://t.co/jA9qFDNf5l |

| pavedsilverroad | A3 I keep my diabetes in exceptional control by eating #lchf I do get carbs from veggies, nuts, nut + coconut flours #diabeteschat |
| lowcarbrd | Veggies,berries, nuts are best because they are high in fiber & keep blood glucose from rising quickly #DiabetesChat https://t.co/mIgnaFw2XO |

| cdiabetesinfo | Q10: Eating/drinking out, parties – how can I get a handle on #Diabetes & social life #DiabetesChat |
| laurenpincusrd | A10: Plan ahead! Check menus online or ask what is being served at a party. Bring a dish you can eat #diabeteschat https://t.co/XB57ZzzTnT |
| lyfebulb | Great question! RT @CDiabetesInfo Q10: Eating/drinking out, parties – how can I get a handle on #Diabetes & social life #DiabetesChat |
| doctorsoption | A10: A bit of good news: moderate alcohol compared to heavy drinking reduces risk for type 2 diabetes http://t.co/ijhgFyycZA #diabeteschat |
| lyfebulb | A10: Try to do some research on the menu before going to a restaurant, to ensure there are healthy options available #diabeteschat |
| lyfebulb | A10: Order side dishes in lieu of calorie-rich appetizers and ask to remove the starch in a heavy main course #diabeteschat |
| laurenpincusrd | A10: Delish low carb party dish! Zucchini, Tomato and Onion Bake: http://t.co/q8cXVsY24k #diabeteschat http://t.co/5n3gYyVCtR |
| pavedsilverroad | @CDiabetesInfo That cake looks awfully delicious… #justsaying #diabeteschat |
| pavedsilverroad | A10 Good news: I hate people. Don’t have to worry about social life #diabeteschat |

| andrewjpg | A10. It’s been very hard for me but if I do drink or have dessert I allow myself one sip or bite and that’s it. #DiabetesChat @CDiabetesInfo |
| doctorsoption | A10: Just like anyone trying to keep off that extra 5 lbs during the holidays, the key is moderation #diabeteschat |
| lyfebulb | A10: I recorded two videos discussing just this! #drinks #dining & #diabetes http://t.co/XJtHzqkENx #diabeteschat |
| maureensrn | A10 Diabetes and social life-> check menu online first; have some routine go to food items. Use apps to calculate carbs etc #diabeteschat |
| pavedsilverroad | A10 On the rare occasion I do eat out though, I order a meat and veg. No rice/potatoes/bread. Drink H2O. #diabeteschat |
| lyfebulb | A10: Never drink alcohol without having something to eat to avoid going low later #diabeteschat |
| maureensrn | A10 Diabetes and social life- realize it doesn’t have to be “about the food” and enjoy yourself in the moment. #diabeteschat |
| malinajlove | A10. Had to stop when ended up in the hospital Nt a good idea If I do Im home, ppl remnd me to chck bs etc #diabeteschat @CDiabetesInfo |
| diabetictalks | 10 Social drinking is 2-3 drinks in this world that can be one mixed drink. Drink responsibly to avoid out of control BG #Diabeteschat |
| lyfebulb | I agree, a great piece of advice. Hard for some to remember at times @MaureenSRN #diabeteschat |
| maureensrn | A10 Eat beforehand; check out all food items if it’s a buffet; dance and socialize and stay away from temptation. #diabeteschat |
