Doctor called...my fasting blood sugar level is 130...said it should be 44 to 99, so I'm a little high.

He won't know the A1c level until tomorrow.

So far, all he's prescribed is:

Low/no carbs, sugar, and MOAR bike riding.
I asked him since I can't drink beer, can I switch to weed?

He said yes.

Will the weed counter act the beer? That way you could have both.

no, early onset type II can be managed with diet and exercise, late type II needs medications and type I needs insulin.

Type I HAS to have insulin, Type II treatment sometimes uses insulin to supplement the insulin the body produces to overcome insulin resistance.

Once I started taking my dog for constantly long (45 minutes, half of which was trekking through the sand on the beach) my sugars lowered.

Diabetes is not that bad... if you control it. https://www.i-club.com/forums/sacramento-reno-116/crash-hazel-orangevale-204369/
It sounds like if you are diabetic you caught it early which it good. I am type one and have been so since I was 10 and I'm 26 now. When I was diagnosed my blood sugar was 1476 so I was in the hospital for about a month. If your diabetic now you should see if you can go to diabetic summer camp it was awesome!

Completely reversed, and now just follows some of the tips from the book on eating better & the obvious exercise.

Hope to hear your doctor is wrong!
Umm, I hate to tell you this, but the statement is not quite as accurate or simple as you make it out to be.

Yes your right...my Dad lied.

I am only reporting our experience. He lost 50 lbs, reversed his type II, His BP & Cholesterol dropped to normal levels and much of his digestive issues (most caused by eating a normal American diet) are now resolved.

I am a firm believer that the huge growth in disease in America is the garbage that we eat (not all our fault because most food labels are misleading & the ingredients are mass produced for highest profit rather than nutrients). Drugs for these common problems (BP, Cholesterol, constipation, heart-burn, sleeping problems, etc..) are all there to help us live with a problem, not fix it. It's f'in BS.

Sorry to rant, but the food industry & drug industry(FDA) are not looking out for us.

A rule of thumb, if your great great grandma would not recognize what you are eating, it's probably not real food. If you don't know a word that is in the ingredients of what you are eating, it's probably not real food.

Bread #1 ingredients:
“Unbleached Enriched Wheat Flour [Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Reduced Iron, Niacin, Thiamin Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) Folic Acid], Water, Cracked Wheat, Whole Wheat Flour, Yeast, Barley, Honey, Fructose, Wheat Gluten, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Salt, Wheat Bran, Malt, Ethoxylated Mono-And Diglycerides, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Calcium Propionate (Preservative), Caramel Color, Whey, Soy Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Soy Lecithin, Nonfat Milk.”

Bread #2 ingredients: Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour, Water, Yeast, Salt, Calcium Propionate

hmm


ok rant over.

If you take care of yourself by eating rite and exercising, your diabetes and especially type 2 diabetes will much easier to control. It takes hard work and discipline to do but will yield great results. I have type 1 diabetes and am now taking better care of my self and my blood sugars are a lot easier to control as well I have been feeling a hell of a lot better.
