D***, I have borderline high blood sugar!

[charlotte49er]

My Grandmother was diabetic. My Father was diabetic.

I have been avoiding the "bullet" so far. Last Friday I got my blood sugar measured after fasting for 10+ hours. It measured 109. High is 120!

I have it checked 4 times a year, never fasted and it has always been under 100! Usually in the 90-95 range!

I know I gained weight from being in the chair. Over the last year, I have changed my eating habits and have lost weight.

I don't want to end up like my Father having to take 2 shots of insulin a day! (I never wanted to end up like my Father in any way, shape or form!) My Father didn't become diabetic until he was 43 and I'm 53, 54 in a few months! I was beginning to think that I had dodged the "bullet"!

F***, I don't want to go through all that BS that associated with Diabetis!

Sorry to rant! Good night!

Good luck to you, maybe you'll be able to manage your condition so you don't have to do all that. Being a Junior Senior leads to some tough lifestyle changes sometimes. :Yawn:

I wish I had blood sugar as low as yours. When I check mine in the morning (before breakfast) it is usually 150 to 180. I don't take medicine anymore. Works on the liver too much and I like beer. I eat whole grains, watch the carbs, eat lots of protein, and stay away from cookies, candy, any sweets. I'm controlling my sugar very well this way. Holistic medicine is good.

Get on a hardcore paleo diet for 2 weeks and you should see drastic changes.

At a minimum cut out any refined carbs, and especially refined sugar. The body can heal itself if you provide the correct environment.

I know how it feels to get news from the dr that you weren't expecting. (((HUGS)))

I'm just waiting to be diabetic, it's prevailent on both sides of the family.

Be glad you have caught it now. I went years undiagnosed and was running over 300. I first went the diet route with exercise, lost weight and it came back in check. Its a progressive disease and you need to monitor it daily. Read up on glycemic index and glycemic load. It can be managed, but takes a commitment/

Need to eat more protein, fats, and greens. Stay away from grains, starches, corn products, and simple sugars. Watch a movie called Fat Head, it gives you a good idea of whats really going on.

Sucks but everyone faces healthy problems eventually. It's rare someone stays completely healthy and care free, especially at your age. I am mid twenties and have worse health concerns so I chuckle when I read things like this I guess that could be considered a disturbing perspective but can't help it.

If my highs were 109 my Dr. would be thrilled. When your highs run between 120 & 130 on a regular basis, then I will allow you to be half as worried about it as you are now without me coming over to your house and slapping the ever loving poo out of you.

Kapeesh?

[Kurb]

Yeah my fasting was 275.

Cry me a river.

Just found out this year.

Diet and 2mg pill have knocked it down to reasonable levels.

Hit yourself with a hammer... see if that helps

Say goodbye to red meat!

Say goodbye to red meat!

Nope, just sweets. Meats don't really affect sugar levels or the processing of.
