It says a lot about our world when we wonder if it's okay to love openly and unconditionally. You get the brave poster award twice in one thread!

Aw, thanks, circular.

I actually have hated cooking my entire life, Maureen... In my experience this does add another layer to the challenges of our lifestyles. I only enjoy cooking if my life is stress free, but I don't recall the last time that was the case. I do meditate, walk, and the like to help with stress, but i...

Wanted to comment on this. I do more weight lifting by keeping my various PT accoutrements on a towel on the living room floor, towel matching the carpet. It may not be everyone's idea of interior decor, but leaving the weights and other things there I am better able to work it in, usually in the m...

Yes those numbers are okay so lucky you! You can probably get away with measuring before and one hour later, which is usually around the peak. Thank you, Mike. Sorry for the late response. Been without a laptop for two weeks (in repair) and all of my passwords are stored on it. So I couldn't even a...

The serve...

Well, I'm working on insulin (it has been going down, but have 3 pts further before it is optimal) and my A1C is good. No T2D. Have you ever measured your Insulin Resistance? You measure both fasting glucose and fasting insulin and use HOMA to calculate your IR. If your A1c is good, but insulin is ...

If you are insulin sensitive and your A1c is good, then you can have more carbs, whereas if you are like me with 20 years of T2D, then you should probably cut them out of your diet. I see. Well, I'm working on insulin (it has been going down, but have 3 pts further before it is optimal) and my A1C ...
