Diabetes really sucks

You might want to try getting an app that can help monitor your carb intake.

I am a type 2 diabetic. I joined Weight Watcher, changed the way I was eating, got more active, and lost over 90 pounds. They list out restaurants on their app, and tell you which things would be better choices to eat than others. My A1C went from nearly 9 to 5.9.

It's not easy whatever you choose, but your health is important. I hope it works out for you.

my daughter was type 1 and that is what eventually took her life.

My sister has had Type I for 25 years, its very draining. As a kid she couldn't have cookies like other kids. Well she could have just one. So yes lots of portion control for carbs. She now eats protein only most of the day. She has to take half tge bun off at McDonald's. But bringing most of your own snacks and maybe one out of two meals a day will help cost wise. She likes deviled eggs as a snack, and so just boiling a couple the night before, you can have a small lunch with those or snack. Bring deli sandwiches from home, peanut butter with crackers or veggies, yogurt. You could buy some chicken salad or make it and take that too, or tuna. Hope these ideas help.

I had a friend who was a truck driver and he developed diabetes. It was far healthier to pack a cooler prior to hitting the road. It could save your life in the long toad. Short term it will make you feel better and save you money. Only costs time.

I was diagnosed last october. Ive managed to lose almost 3 stone since.
I dunno how much weight you need to loose, but for me, 2 stone was easy to loose simply by cutting down on the carbs and crap. You have to take it seriously. The damage you could ve doing to your body is scary. I had such a fright being told i could have liver damage.....as bad as a heavy drinker simply by eating too many sweets!! That was enough to spur me into action.
Give ya head a wobble and find the healthier options......being healthier has got to be worth it....right?
Think of the people who love and want you around for years to come.......

Do you have a microwave in your truck or are there microwaves at truck stops you can use? Healthy steamer meals are a lot less expensive and better for you.

What about having a bag of raw veggies? Like in an insulated lunch box. You could get some hummus and hard boiled eggs to go with it. Cucumbers, peppers, carrots, and broccoli are pretty portable.

If you ever wanna talk diabetes HMU it's about 50% of my job as a nurse to help people with their diabetes.

It would be better to buy real food in healthier choices and keep it in a cooler and have that instead of McDonald’s or any fast food.

It's a constant battle for me. It doesn't get easier. You must learn to live with disbetes. I don't believe a great many diabetics lose weight, exercise more (difficult for you on the road I imagine), and become nondiabetic again.

Keep up the good fight. It is hard but uncontrolled diabetes is harder. Don't lose your feet, damage your kidneys or heart or die. I am sure you have things you still want to do. If you need help or ideas feel free to message😊

if it's that difficult maybe you need to rethink your employment for your health's sake. youre not going ot be driving anywhere if you go blind or lose your legs

Can they not change your insulin type so you can eat a more normal diet?

Type 2 for 20 years here. Not fun, but only myself to blame

Living is a choice.... Keep on keeping on!

It’s worth it!!
