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?

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
