[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 17032409, member: 70025"] I have it. Found out a few years ago. When I was initially diagnosed it scared the crap out of me. I love sugar and diabetes runs in my family. My grandmother passed away from complications due to diabetes. My dad says he has a few cousins who have lost some limbs. They started me on Metformin twice a day, but it made my stomach upset. So, I take Metformin (1000mg) before bed and I take Jardience (25mg) in the morning. I'm not over weight either. When I keep my diet on track and take my medication (I do not take insulin) it is manageable. However, there's only so much good for you crap I can eat. So, I try to manage my diet M-F and then on the weekends I splurge a little (i.e. fast food, pizza, some sweets, etc.). Can I do better? probably, but everything that's good for you sucks in my opinion LOL. I tried switching to brown rice, wheat bread, salad, low crab intake, no sugar and so on. I was miserable and grumpy LOL. So, I had to find a balance that works for me. Yes, I could shore up my cravings and live a little longer, but I'd rather live with my numbers a little higher (i.e. pre-diabetic levels), live happy and let the good lord take me when he comes a calling. I go to the doctor and have things checked out. Two common problems are vision and feet. So far, every time I go to the doctor he says my A1C's are a little higher than he likes, but my vision and feet are in good shape. So, this is how I'm living for now. I'm 56, but may need to make further adjustments into my 60's. Only time will tell how things turn out in the future. I can prepare for tomorrow, but like living for today. Good luck to you on your diabetic path [USER=18634]@MassCobra[/USER] [/QUOTE]
