Diabetes

[CalG]

I read that drinking warm water at bed time can help with blood sugar levels.

Anyone know anything?

As a vegetarian since age 22 or so, with a wife who doesn't believe a supper doesn't include a large green vegetable salad (Garden fresh) I wonder how I might change my diet to add health.
I love pasta dishes, but good bread molds before it's gone, Even now in BLT season. (B is for Bac-o-bits ;-)

Water being warm does what???? You might be better off going for a walk before bed. What is your a1c? Pasta has a very high glycemic rate and that means your BG* will rocket up shortly. I still love and occasionally eat some but do things to help moderate this effect. Eat the whole wheat type helps and have lots of sauce with i which replaces some pasta. When we make sauce it has lots of onions peppers etc etc in it.

*blood sugar

I got diagnosed with diabetes on Friday. Now I have to learn to live with it AND beer. lol

Don't take this lightly. Diabetes and smoking are two very deadly things. If you are one to care and would never smoke, you should not accept diabetes. Diabetes is able to be reversed/put into remission. I would highly recommend looking to see if your health insurance covers the Virta program.

Man you got that right. If you don't mind living with miserable health and be in the ground soon, don't care about your BG and smoke (use nicotine).

I feel fine and everything is working OK. However - now that I'm officially old - both great grand daughters agree on this - winter brings on some new aches. Old joints never have liked the cold.

It's great, I've been off Metformin for 1/2 year now for insulin resistance, cut one of my two BP medicine in half to top it off, my gout medicine dose in half. AND I'm looking forward to a new snow blowing season.

Oosik, I look up to fellas like you that has been lucky to enter "experienced" age and are still going strong. I hope I will experience such blessings! As my family has sucky longevity genes.

Are you type I or II? And for how long?

Type II for a year, I regulate it now through diet only and I never needed more insulin and insulin resistance is caused by too much glucose SAD diet. The body can adapt and overcome once bodys own cells will listen to the plenty of insulin it produces and proceed as normal, instead of going lalalalalalala to it. The diet is much higher protein and practise limited fasting to reduce the insulin spikes in your body. Lose weight, gain better health.
