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

[Skew]

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.

You should be more worried than sports talk.

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

My buddy had a heart attack due to diabetes, and they told him only chicken, and fish. He can have 8 oz of red meat per week.

How much does he weigh?

How much does he weigh?

He is 6 foot 3, weighing about 270...BIG OL REDNECK! It might have something to do with his wife cooking everything in bacon grease. But he eats healthy now. When he had his heart attack he weighed 310!

Red Meat isn't the best for the heart. Nothing to do with the beetus

Yea...I think it was a combo of both his heart and beetus that made the doctor prescribe white meat. He used to love having breakfast for dinner. Eggs and bacon was what he used to live for.

Well, there you go. No, you can't eat red meat all the time. It's not healthy if you have the betes or not.

I'm 5 - 7 lbs over weight at most. My cholesterol is in check, blood pressure in check, weight in check. I eat pretty much what I want except no sweets and normal portions.

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.

Sorry ... if you're getting fasting readings that high, you're not controlling your sugar at all. That's pretty high.

Doesn't sound like it's his diabetes that's the problem, but his cholesterol.

You're sugar isn't too bad. Just cut back on sugar. If you use it a lot, try to use splenda (it's the best) and if you have to have sodas, drink diet.
