LAST MONTH: Lisa Van Herik and her husband Mark Goro spoke to the Pumpers about Modern Nutrition for Diabetics.
Lisa and Mark brought a selection of healthy and flavorful food options that are lower in carbs for the Pumpers to sample.

Lisa had several suggestions for us.  Best way to know how your blood sugar is going to respond to any food item is to test after eating. Try to eat organic whole foods. She also suggested to eat raw greens with each meal and 8-12 grams of fiber. Pick one goal at a time for making changes to your diet. She said to be specific and make goals that are realistic and attainable.

PLASE READ PAST THE FIRST PAGE TO LEARN ABOUT FUTURE PROGRAMS. Details of studies and other diabetes information of interest will now be on our website ^^^^^sdinsulinpumpers.blogspot.com).^^^^^
