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

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!

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.

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/

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?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
