For the Nosey ones
Will, I'm pretty new here myself, and my Type 2 Diabetes is still not entirely under control, but things are getting better.
I'm learning that
CARBS ARE THE ENEMY.
This is a nosy group, so tell us more about yourself. Any family history of diabetes?
I know I can not say I have it under control yet but, I will say that in less than a week I have had BG test in the following ranges
<100-------- 9 samples
101-120----- 3
120-140----- 2
140+-------- 5 times (2 in in 150's and 3-168 after Eating)
I have included all my meds in my Signature now well all except Gasx but, I take that as a courtesy to my wife. I am sharing because I do not know what Stomach problems metformin causes others... I am having none.
Family history-
Mother just told me that my great Grand mother is the only person with a history
Father side- No history at all
I link mine to basically a year of immobility while still consuming carbs. Could I have had this eventually in life... It is Possible. I was a proud Navy Corpsman who did every march my Marines were doing and then taking care of them while they were resting before a major car accident left me in the hospital with a broken back. I was 5'9" and a Very Healthy 172 at the time. Participated in 3 triathlons and swam the Bay on an anuall Bay bridge swim 2 times but my back injury ended that and for over 10 years I allowed myself to deteriorate. I am now paying the Price.
When I get the Herniated disc repaired I have decided that I will be going back to the way I was... Just with out the Carbs. I have bought a bike. I joined the gym. I have set goals to accomplish over the next year. These goal are not options for me because I need to take back control of my life
Next years goals
North East Sprint Triathlon :
triathlon : Swim 750 meters, Bike 15.5 miles, Run 3.1 miles
Weight:175 Currently I am 226
Now as far as Carbs being an Enemy.... Since I am a Ravens fan I kind of look at them as the Eagles.... They are a challenge... But I know we can beat them!

(for those that are in other Countries the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens are 2 American Football teams)
