I too am a Hispanic & diabetic. I agree with cnieves that the foods we were raised on & know how to cook are not always whats recommended in a diabetic diet. It's a struggle to know what to prepare especially for the evening meal when you feel like everything you touch is going to raise your blood sugar.

I would like to know if you have a Hispanic nutritionist or Dr. who can understand our way of life and help us with this dilema. cnieves

Hi all, The trick is in your soft ware, it can be set up to stop pop ups. My son is a computer guru, thankfully do not receive the pop ups. Pop ups are very distracting to the learning process, agree.

I do not get pop ups. Download a pop-up blocker. Then you have the option to "unblock" if you want to on certain sites.

If I cannot move my mouse on this site without pop up advertising then there is no reason for me to utilize this site anymore. I am tired of it as I have read on several of the other pages. This is your site and if you have no control over what the advertisers do on your site and why the people who visit your site are leaving then your management needs to wonder why there is less participation.
