In Nov, I was diagnosed a T2 diabetic. A1C @ 9.2. That day, I committed to a new lifestyle, to make living with diabetes easier for me.
Started a low carb diet to control my sugars and lose weight. Set a goal of losing 80 lbs to start. Made a deal with my wife that when I crossed under 300 lbs I would get a new smoker.
Open Range arrived today. Initial seasoning is underway. Briskets will be on Saturday night for Easter dinner.
Weighed in this am at 299. A1C level last week back under 5.7. (don't tell my wife I ordered the smoker early.)
