Doctor: Mr. Bermudez, these blood sugar levels typically point to diabetes. Doctor: Did you know the average hispanic is 1.6 times as likely to die from diabetes as a non-hispanic white! Gracie: Doctor, you're wrong! My Papi's gonna be OK! Gracie: He's not average at all.

Aw, of course Papi will be okay, Gracie. He’s above average.

Carmy, I’ve been meaning to ask where did you get that really good pic of Nanny from Count Ducula?

Your Papi is the best, Gracie.
margueritem about 15 years ago
Sounds like you’re doing the right things, Bigg.

ejcapulet, I got the pic from google images. Just google Count Duckula, they’ve got lots of photos. :)

I’m not sure I like this doctor. He should tell Papi that his diabetes is manageable not that it’s more likely to kill him.

No need to ask, Carmen knows such, and will be glad to prepare them (though they will likely smell and taste extremely foul).

Even though I’m not Diabetic, I know how it feels to watch what I eat. Same as Diabetis, food allergies can be a pain, but once you get used to it, it becomes second nature to check everything you consume. Anyway that’s what happened to me! :-)

one way to manage diabetes is proper diet. also depending on the type and severity, medication can maintain blood sugar levels.
carmy about 15 years ago
FYI, it’s Tierra Madre (Motherland).

You’re welcome bigg.* I am Mexican-American and in our family, my maternal grandfather was only one that had diabetes and actually it was geriatric diabetes. What does seem to be prevalent in Mexican-Americans is gallbladder disease.

Sure, diabetes isn’t a food allergy. M J didn’t say it was. I have Celiac Disease- which can lead to cancer, lupus, and death over time- and there are similarities i food-controlled illnesses. Reading labels becomes a life-and-death part of life. I almost ended up in the hospital for malnutrition before my diagnosis when I ate well!
Between looking for wheat, barley, rye, and several things made from wheat that don’t earn the CONTAINS WHEAT (US gov’t’s caps) and peanuts (mild allergy), and how sick I get if I eat wheat- and allergies can kill too, and quick for some.
