So.....I have type 2 diabetes
« Reply #-1 on: July 30, 2021, 01:10:47 PM »
Not a death sentence by any means but changes need to be made. I have been going through a lot lately, this is just another thing added to the list. I have been watching my carb and sugar intake which I've done before but I'd be lying if I said it didn't suck, lol!

It's funny how the body CRAVES carbs!! Also I find it funny how I have been having ideas on concoctions to make, knowing damn well I can't eat it. One such creation I had in mind is taking the meat off of the chipotle bbq baby backs that I make and giving it a rough chop. Mix in some more of the the sauce and crisp it up on the flat top. Put that on a giant flour tortilla like the burrito shops use, add some brisket baked beans, slaw, a few hand cut fries, mac and cheese, queso, jack cheese, my wife's smoked salsa, pickled jalapenos and roll it up and toast it on the flat top.

It's diabetes on a plate but maybe I make it and have a few bites and let my son finish it, lol! It would be treadmill time after eating. I find using my Bowflex Treadclimber for 20 minutes REALLY drops my blood sugar. Cardio is the key.

At any rate, I haven't posted in a while, figured I'd chime in.

You can overcome it.  Millions of people, most of them not as perseverant as you, have done so.

Check in with us periodically.  Many of us may face that diagnosis and we will look up to you as a role model.

If you learn how to grill vegetables, post the recipes.  I may as well start now and get ahead of my eventual diagnosis.

I have been type 2 for about 15 years now. First step is to get a good class on diabetic dieting. With exercise and moderation it isn't as restrictive on what you can eat more on how much. At least that is my experience.
