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?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
