What is stopping you from doing what you want to do ?

@Punches I see.
Have you seen a Doc?

@Nimbus I should but I imagine it will be the same old response - quit smoking, manage your type 2 diabetes, exercise.

About the type 2 - the meds for that just cause unpleasant restroom visits.

@Punches I quit all the possible meds and use insulin only. I have been much better off since. AND due to taste issues and trouble eating real food my calorie intake is high in glucose and my A1C is controlled. My enemy is being too sedentary.

@Gibbon Exercise is not comfortable for sure.

I find it interesting how somehow we all have some kind of diabetes, and of COURSE it is somehow our fault. Like we can't ALL be these sugar gluttonizing bums.

@Punches The thing for me is mine is not the typical onset diabetes. Being a slim Jim most of my life I have no business having it. Mine was induced by my 2nd experience of chemo treatments in 2003. The evidence showed itself quickly and it was suspected the chemo permanently affected my pancreas. So I've been in full remission since with type 2 as the parting gift.
What aggravates me most is diabetic nutritionist. Even before I developed my taste problems and eating issues if I followed their diet recommendations I'd die of malnutrition and lack of calories.
