SFC---As you know;I am diabetic too!I never used to want coffee,
or ice cream when I drank!I am a recovering alcoholic.The 15th was 9yrs8mo. since I had any alcohol.Now I love ice cream.My wife and I go to the Lone Oak(Local drive-in ice cream stand)about every 1-2wks.On the days that I know that we are going to
go that evening;I take a higher dose of insulin that morning.I also
eat less.We always park in one of the back rows because we go
mostly to laugh at the people that are there.I know that it is a
dangerous thing to do but so was racing motorcycles.Life is full of
risks.You might want to try this but it is up to you.I;frankly;am sick
of my life being one big restriction. Irish
P.S.I work out every day.I know at my age that I'm not going to enter any bodybuilding contests but it keeps my blood pressure
lower&also my blood sugar.I test my blood 3-4 times a day!

Irish --- It's true, even with the diabetes I do get to indulge in sweets on occasion. I have to do 4-5 blood tests, 6-8 insulin injections, and take 4 pills a day for the diabetes itself, not to mention other medications for various (as yet minor) complications, but on special occasions I do splurge and have another dose of insulin to go with a special dessert or a particularly high-carb meal. I do exercise as well --- as you say, it's important for blood sugar control. Sadly, though, I still can't have ice cream or cheesecake (another former favourite dessert) because I'm also lactose intolerant (I can't digest the form of sugar that's found in milk products). Ice cream and other milky foods make me very sick... Not pleasant at all. But thanks so much for the suggestion!

SFC---If I was lactose intolerant;I'd really be screwed.About a year ago;my diabetes Dr.;suggested that I see a diabetic dietician
because it had been so long since I had seen one.I used to take
a M.R.P.in the morning and protien powder at night;before bedtime.Everything that you read says to use alot of protien if you
weight train.The dietician told me that with the protien;that I was
a good candidate for dialisis;because of my age,high blood pressure,and diabetes.My father-in-law had to have dialisis every
day and it sucks!She told me to use SlimFast instead of protien.
The SlimFast Powder is much less expensive then the canned.
Every day now;I have a SlimFast shake with the SlimFast powder
&Skim milk twice a day.Lactose intolerance would even prohibit
that. Irish
P.S.Be careful!Diabetes is sneaky.I have already had my right eye
operated on & I have diabetic neropothy(sp)in my legs&feet.

Irish -- Sorry to hear about all the complications you have to deal with! I've only been diabetic for about three years, but I've already lost a lot of the sight in one eye due to cataracts --- luckily, that's operable and I'll regain my vision eventually. The retinopathy and neuropathy terrify me. Knock on wood, my nerves are as good as ever, but I do notice that cuts and so on take a lot longer to heal now... *sigh* Ah well. I do what I can --- my blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin, etc., are at non-diabetic levels, and I stay in very tight control...
But we've kind of highjacked this thread --- e-mail me (click the link in my profile) if you want to talk more about this.

...in honor of WildIrish's recent birthday Friday and his love of ginger ice cream.
P.S. Mine's vanilla...with lots of strawberry topping and whipped cream!

I recently tried red bean and green tea and they were putrid. Fave is anything chocolate topped with chocolate. Although Phish Food is still tops
