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?

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
