With an A1C of 11.8 you have a serious diabetic problem.If not, you have a

serious dietary problem.Are you on meds to lower your glucose levels?

If not you should be.

[Guest guest]

Don't ever be sorry for a ramble. how in the world will any one of us who

never post much learn? all list will have those who listen and hardly ever post,

so us who do post must write about all we have been through and how we are doing

it now. always remember this, some one is always watching us and how we deal

with every day life and always there is those who just listen and they learn. we

all got a very important story to tell about. dealing with this disease they

call diabetes can be a slow killer if folks don't learn the truth and the facts.

I can't get to know any of you in a personal way, but through this list I can

get to know you from your post. so reach out and touch some one to day with how

you are doing and how it is happening for you. I like others will read what we

can and delete what we can't, but never be afraid of posting a ramble that tells

about dealing with diabetes because it always helps some one who you may not

even be aware of. It's so easy to put on unwanted weight and it is just as easy

to let your A1C get out of control. It is a daily job to keep both weight and

the diabetes in hand. you can't let up for a minute! you would think as hard as

it is to run your unwanted weight pounds off, that none of us would ever allow

any of them back in our life! but we do and it is because we all enjoy eating

and the pleasure there is in enjoying what you eat. so we get kicked to the curb

by a back day from eating what we shouldn't have. the worse thing that happens

then this weakness, is continuing for more then a day in the funk. just got to

jump back on the horse and get back in control after that moment of weakness. I

haven't had one yet in 31 days, but I know a day will come looking for me soon

and I will do like I have done so many times in my past. this time however, I

won't tie more then one day together of bad eating with another day. done made

up my pig mind that this way of living is for life and to hard to take 3 steps

forward and 2 back. losing weight should be as easy as gaining it, but no one

ever promised us life was always fair! maybe it is harder to lose it because we

will learn to appreciate it more when we slowly drop the pounds. we who got

extra pounds to kick out of our life got to serve eviction notices on one pound

at a time and pay no mind to the rest. only tackle the one that you have served

the notice to move out and stay out. then serve another eviction notice on the

next unwanted pound and work on just it and ignore the rest until it is there

time. kind of like one day at a time, but here for us who are over weight it

must be one pound at a time. kind of like taking small bites instead of huge

bites. I being the fine gentlemen pig that I am to day, will take it upon my

self to ramble for those who don't wish to ramble. it's a big job and some one

has to get it done!

Call From The Doctor

Hi All,

I got a call from Dr. and he is not too happy. My blood sugar was

169 which I did not think was that bad. But my A1C was 11.8 and he warned me

that I had better watch it or I will end up in the hospital.

I would like some advice from Nurse in particular and all the

rest of you can do whatever to whip me into shape.

Thanks.

I wrote a paper for a grad course a number of years back (2006), on diabetes,

and one of the interesting facts I discovered in my research was this: Diabetes

is the hardest chronic disease to manage, even more so than cancer. This is

because it's a 24/7 disease. Especially type 1, but for type 2 also. We don't

get a break from it, unless we choose to ignore it with dire consequences.

24 7 is so very true! never ending struggle for most. the problem most have

with keeping there A1C down is doing it right you got to take a step back from

normal living. folks these days center there life around food! restaurants every

where! smells from food every where! it really isn't one bit fair, but still if

we wish to go on living with all of our body parts, then we got to step back and

not be like the rest. seems to me the addiction to food and over eating is about

as bad as it gets. alcohol and drugs we can live with out ever touching again,

but food? go with out eating for very long and you stop living. we can step out

of good sugar control now and then, but we have to pay the price that high

sugars will cause. those who are T 1 can take a bigger shot to cover the extra

carbs eaten, but I bet this practice still isn't wise if you do it all the time?

then a T 2 can't do anything for the sugar being to high if we slip and over eat

with our buds. the crazy thing is you can look all around you and see thousands

of folks headed down the path of diabetes in a few years just from watching

there life style. I try to let them know what has happened to me and my health

for ignoring the facts, but do you think they listened or cared? they just keep

on with the party and the drinking like it is the only thing in the world that

really matters. 24 7 is correct and at times it makes me wish to tare my hair

out because I can't eat all those things that I use to eat all I wanted. even

knowing what that practice has done to me now, I still have those moment when I

desire to tie the feed bag on and just stop with the worry for just one day. of

course not going to do this to day or to morrow either. now you take a guy like

me who has to lower his A1C as well as losing weight, well this can be a job! I

heard a doctor say one time that a diabetic should have one meal out of 21 in a

week and eat what ever they had to give up. he did say not to pig out on the

meal, but to just eat a little of those foods that he or she has ignored for the

whole week. I tried this advice a while back many years ago and it didn't work

well for me. that one meal done me in because it wasn't long before I was eating

5 meals out of the week instead of one. I suppose I just do better with all or

none. seeing as how you like to write and the such, you need to figure out why

when we are younger we ignore good advice and do it our way, which gets us in

all kinds of trouble later in life. Why does younger people think the bad will

never happen to them? actually some older folks feel the same way. I know of

more then one person who is a T 2 who is over weight and there A1C is way up

there and they hardly ever go have it checked and don't seem to worry about it.

Where does this attitude of the lack of personal concern come from? you said 24

7 and at times I believe there is more then 36 hours in one day. especially in

those days where every smell of all kinds of grilling burgers out side attacks

me in a powerful way!

rope around his neck and his share of the gold on the ground at the bottom of

the stone he is standing on. lets him do a balancing act there on that stone and

trying not to hang his stupid self. then East wood gets way up there on the hill

and turns and shoots the rope in to and the fellow falls with out hanging him

self. Damn good movie that was. watched it probably ten times and still like it

more each time. The good, the bad and the ugly! now wonder which one you would

I have been the gentlemen pig for so many years that it is what all my buds

call me. I wouldn't know who they were talking to if they used my real birthing

name my Momma gave me. Now talking about pork. I love pork! Easter is here and

no ham for the pig this year. A cooks or a fricks is about as good as it gets.

bone in and bake that puppy for about 3 hours or so depending on the size of

course. rub it down with some mustard and brown sugar and some cinnamon

sprinkled all over it. the trouble I always had was only eating one pound at a

meal. when you the cook and the one who cuts it up? well no getting around

eating only one pound. then there is right's brand thick slice bacon! man o man

is that stuff so good! kind of on the costly side, but we only live once and

money will spoil if you hide it in a hole and leave it to long. pork chops on

the grill and pork loin? I purchased me a fine table top gas grill at Sam's

yesterday. just big enough for the 2 of us and better then charcoal because you

turn it on, cook and turn it off. charcoal may taste better, but when you can't

eat like a pig any more, then lots of wasted fire to walk away from. ever had

salmon or fresh tuna on the grill? throw some asparagus on there and rub it down

with butter and spices and some Brussels sprouts as well and wrap them up in

some tinfoil and let cook for a bit. can even throw in some mush rooms and

yellow squash as well. ever had some grilled pine apple on the grill? nothing as

good as a ribeye on the grill that has been all spiced up in the ice box over

night. grilled sweet potatoes and you in pig heaven brother! it doesn't get any

better then cow and pig on the grill and then always top the day off with a few

red cold beers and thank God for a perfect day!

Boy Mark, you've got that right and I totally agree with everything you

have said. I have also learned that when you have dinner at people's homes,

or at relatives, make sure you watch out for the person that keeps asking,

" Did you get enough? " Or, " Come on, have some more, there's plenty. "

Most of these I have dealt with, have never had a diabetic in the

family, or even known any.

when this happens you got to have the control you have to have to stay on

track. way more times then I care to remember I gave in to having more. they

don't understand why and how you must eat the way you do. I think they all mean

well. we who are the diabetic must be stronger then they are. it is us who gets

hurt and not them if we give in. hate to make them believe there cooking sucked,

but better they think that if you can't convince them other wise. the price you

will pay is much higher then there feelings. but after you have ate with them a

few times, then they will figure it out and all is well that ends well.

Not so much we have to be stronger, although this is true somewhat, but we have

to be smarter. My personality allows me to be blunt and matter-of-fact quite

easily. When we're eating at family or friends, I know what I can eat and I let

them know. I spoke at a Lions meting the other night. Before that night, I made

it clear with the contact person I didn't care for cheese, and would they please

make sure they didn't serve something like Lasagna. And they didn't. And I'm

sure they didn't mind input from me either.

Food is part of your medical regime. You eat only what you need to eat. Can you

enjoy what you eat? Of course, but you need to learn to never be afraid to say

no, or to speak up if you need something a little different. Would your friends

or family members deny you some medication you need for survival? Perhaps more

with a t1, but t2's also, food is very much part of this medical regime we need

to have an intimate knowledge of, and what to do and not to do in order to help

our bodies survive.

Hi All,

I got a call from Dr. and he is not too happy. My blood sugar was

169 which I did not think was that bad. But my A1C was 11.8 and he warned me

that I had better watch it or I will end up in the hospital.

I would like some advice from Nurse in particular and all the

rest of you can do whatever to whip me into shape.

Thanks.

Fortunately I eat at home all the time because we never go anywhere and I

just go out to lunch with my daughter and a girl friend of mine who I have

known for more than 40 years.

Since we only do it once or twice a year I treat myself a little bit then.
