We all can make our own choices. I said I just don't understand the decisions some make. How about asking your doctor to prescribe a CGM? That will allow you to see what you should and shouldn't eat for sugar issues. Ice cream is my downfall, but there are non-glycemic options now. You can also make your own. The CGM will tell you whether the whole grains are bad for your glucose.bummer
lab tests come back quickly
AIC crept up to 6.1 from 6.0
sugar was 115
both too high
Nortrac, for some of us, even eating properly doesn't work.
I admit I don't all the time, but I'm not bad. yes I eat whole grain bread.
yes I have ice cream a few times a month.
I have to take steroids every day due to prior cancer. That in itself makes losing weight very hard.
whatever it would take to change my direction, pretty clear so far I haven't found it.
I have failed, according to accepted medical science.
my primary says he wants all his older patients to have as many good years as possible and not spending the last five to seven years
in a medical nightmare from diabetes or a stroke. I'm all for that.
Both my parents died young of cancer. I've already had cancer.
Likely to return in next five years.
of course we all know sugar by itself feeds cancer.
I won't say I'm doomed but with no kids, I have a birdie on one shoulder
telling to just eat whatever I want.
and this other noisier vegan birdie on the other shoulder that gets a lot more
attention when the numbers climb the wrong way.
5 percent negative reaction I think for that pill.
not what you'd allow on a plane flight...
30 years ago I was on weight watchers. We had a wellness program at a smallish high tech
company where I was GM and had about 180 employees reporting to me, and they were almost all women.
And lots of them wanted to have WW at work. So of course, to be supportive....I signed up too.
I've always been a few pounds over so why not.
It was kind of nerve wracking every Monday morning weighing in.
anxiety producing for many
I'd like to avoid nerve wracking and anxiety for sure.
So that shot in the hip every week might be the right medicine for me.
If I decide on it, will track results here.
As for the A1c, the test comes with a loose accuracy. I've had mine come back with 0.3 changes in just 10 days.
