Breaks/Snacks at Work
I have type 2 diabetes and I take Amaryl® 4 mg and Actos® 30 mg. I am having a difficult time with scheduling meals. My day begins with mounds of paper work and meetings to attend so that means that sometimes I don't get to eat breakfast or lunch, and end up eating junk food. I am constantly stressed out. How can I let my supervisors, and co-workers know in a tactful way that I need to take breaks and eat my meals and snacks everyday and at the same time without jeopardizing my job?

Celiac Disease and Diabetes
I have type 1 diabetes and my doctor recently told me that I also have celiac disease. I was really discouraged to learn that in addition to watching my carbs for my diabetes, I now have to avoid foods that contain gluten. Is it common to have both diabetes and celiac disease? I heard some of the kids at diabetes camp talking about it this summer.

I keep hearing about the low-glycemic cornstarch that some companies are putting in their low carb food, but I haven’t found a producer or a marketing source...Is there such a thing?

Count Carbs or Count Sugar?
I already look for carbs on food labels. Should I check for grams of sugar as well? My physician said not to look for sugar. Is she right?

Diabetic Cookbooks
Can you recommend any Diabetic Cookbooks? Also, regarding foods labeled "sugar free" - I don't always think that means it is a good idea for me to eat whatever it is. I am having a tough time learning to eat foods other than sweet snacks. I am newly diagnosed.
