Diabetes really sucks

I sometimes think I should just give up. Trying to eat healthy as a truck driver is extremely difficult and expensive. This morning I had 2 flavorless sausage patties, scrambled eggs and a diet coke at McDonalds and it cost me $9.37 (USD) that is absolutely ridiculous! I sometimes wonder if I would live longer if I just gave up on trying to eat better (dietician has recommended a version of Keto) because I think the stress of worrying about my numbers, what I eat and how I will afford to eat is going to give me a heart attack or a stroke!

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.

@PoetryNEmotion Food goes bad too quickly. I am on the road for a month at a time and it is not always easy to get to a grocery store

@istillhaveanameitsrick What is the cost of your life? You tell me. Find a way to make it work. Choices.
