Iron Woode Has Diabetes

[Iron Woode]

had my blood work results on Monday and my A1C test came back at 8%.

I am now taking Metformin HCL twice a day for now until my next doctor visit to see how things are doing.

The restricted diet is annoying me. And I get the odd side effect from the medication.

I didn't show any obvious symptoms either.

Hopefully diet and the meds keep it under control so I can live a mostly normal life.

restricted diet

Guidelines

Portable snacks include cheese sticks, jerky, and pork rinds.

Me too.
7.1%
Metformin.

Biggest change is cut out the junk food. And soda.

jogging helps you burn up blood sugar.

I cut all of that out of my diet a few months ago.

arthritis makes vigorous exercise difficult. I will do what I can though.

The elliptical is pretty easy on my knees. No way I could do HIIT or P-90.

Swimming is the only thing I know for arthritics.

Include the Schwinn Airdyne 520 in your research. Position in front of a TV and perform several moderate 15-minute sessions per day to work leg muscles which contributes to lowering glucose levels.

DIABEEEEETUS.

Kind of don't feel bad for people who get type 2. I don't know THAT much about it, but I just generally associate people with type 2 who are lazy fatties. Probably kind of ignorant of me, but I've never seen a healthy fit looking person rocking type 2.

Type 1 is a different story though.

that is why I didn't post this in OT.

too many people posting diabeetus pics.

its true that I have been dealing with a weight issue but I have been getting good results before the diagnosis and hopefully I will be at my preferred weight soon.

Why the severe lack of empathy? Not everyone has their health, for reasons not related to any doing of their own. FWIW, no, I do not have diabetes.

Because he's Z1ggy. He speaks his mind. Its ok.

Go keto - low carb + high fat.

How did you guys know you were at risk to get tested? Did carbs/sugar make you sleepy? I found that's the case with me, if I eat even 2 slices of cake it's enough for me to want to pass out. They said on the radio that 1 in 3 in this country has pre-diabetes.

I had a routine blood test.

Stick with it. I was diagnosed 5 years ago at 6.7 now its elevated to 7.3 because I decided to ignore it and never took the metformin. Now I am taking action because everything hurts and feeling good again and getting healthy is my main priority in life right now.

 

[tortoise]

everything hurts

If agonizing leg pain is keeping you awake at night . . research diet tonic water.

Not yet but thanks for the tip. I just started taking alpha lipoic acid to help stem off neuropathy issues.

You need LCHF. You can beat type 2 diabetes, I did. Start goggling.

If you have questions you can ping me.

Type 2 diabetes is totally beatable for the majority of people... the truth is it shouldn't be called diabetes at all, it's completely different from type 1.

:thumbsup:

I haven't taken meds in 2 years, and never will again.

I 1st swung a 5 Iron Woodie at 5 years old and NEVER lost a round of Golf before I was 16. I quit playing Golf, because I could never find a a player that could beat me considering I would play along and finish with a Birdie, Par followed by 3 Birdies and break the course record - So I Quit - Been there did that ;o)

Then I took up Salmon Skiing. Won all Ontario to the Rockies with the National Ski-team but quit that too once I mounted an Italian Breganzie Motorcycle.

Then I got Married and started raising Kids. 6 to be exact - 3 of them were mine.

 

[shortylickens]

Yeah, umm, you arent allowed to post stupid shit in this section of the forums.

 

[Z15CAM]

For your info an Iron Woodie is a 5 Wood Golf Glub and is refereed to as the Woodie or a Masher- Look it up shartylickens.

Legal or not I doubt you will see one in Pros bag unless they are deep in the ruff as it is considered an armatures stick.

I say, if an Iron Woodie is going to get you closer to hole - All the more to yah ;o)

PS: Sam Sead had one in his Bag.

My apology to the OP of this thread but I hope my posts give you something to think about and never give up - I've got health issues as well ;o)
