Health & Wellness or that lack thereof...

The picture is my current mood...


Poem Artwork

No insurance have I got nor money,

My diabetes is getting worse,

At least if I go by the constantly rising numbers,

Used to be that 250 was normal, now I cannot get below 300,

So if I am destined to die of too much sugar,

I guess I should look at the bright side sunny,

And try in some way to deal with it somewhat funny…

 

No advice am I for asking,

Just let me drown in sugar basking,

It was better when knowing what was wrong I did not,

Next time I go into a coma from too much sugar,

Just let me go and pull the plug,

Cremate me then sweep me under the rug…

 

Ramen soup for dinner at nine,

Seems to me to be fine,

Probably not the best dinner,

But what the hell, there’s food in this old sinner…

 

No pity am I as well asking,

I am not herein of my life masking,

It’s been a bitch, though I’ve seen worse,

Sometimes I wonder what else there is to do but curse…

I got a scolding last month from my Doc, actually the stink eye. High blood sugar. I have rediscovered beans as J Allen mentioned. The dogs are very proud of their master who has not only grown a beard butt now passes gas like Zeus. Butt it's a good kind of gas. Gave up (mostly) white carbs. No bigee except pizza crust. Cursing begins when your foot falls off. Patrick

MY BEST GUESS IS THAT U R BROKE N' OUT OF 'POT'?

MAYBE I'M WRONG - MAYBE NOT!

U AIN'T HOMELESS! U DON'T SLEEP IN A CARDBOARD BOX!

IF'N U AIN'T GOT BOOTS - THEN PULL UP YER SOX!

AREN'T FRUITS BETTER THAN OTHER SUGARS?

INSTEAD OF GLUCOSE ... EAT YER OWN 'BOOGERS' !!!

YER WELCOME !!! DR. SPITWIT ...

An insightful cute and honest poem Ed...but,as an avid fan of yours I curse that sugar Ed...and always will

Listen to J. Allen. He's had it a lot worse than you, and he's given you some great advice below.

I hear you, my friend, and I'm sorry. We can all give you advice but in the end, it is still up to you. My prayers are with you as I believe that God knows what is best for all of us. Listen to what He has to say and you will find the answer. God bless you as you struggle with this but still, be strong.

I'm not trying to give advice, but there are ways to eat on the cheap that will regulate your sugar....here is a list of some really cheap foods that work... I know because my late wife Leah had the same problem until she started eating differently...all you got to do is do it...life is not always fair but it is made up of choices...we either choose to live and make the best of a bad situation, or we surrender to the darkness...rebuke the darkness and choose to live...

Beans -- Not only are beans (like kidney and pinto) a low-fat, nutritious source of protein, but they're also high in fiber. And that's just what you want, because high-fiber foods slow down digestion.

Nuts -- This is the snack that really satisfies. Next time you get a craving for potato chips, grab a handful of nuts instead -- preferably unsalted. Nuts fill you up with fiber and load you up on omega-3 fatty acids as well.

Cinnamon: Researchers are finding that cinnamon reduces blood sugar levels naturally when taken daily. If you absolutely love cinnamon you can sprinkle the recommended six grams of cinnamon on your food throughout the day to achieve the desired effect....sprinle this on oatmeal which is high fiber...carbohydrates are the enemy...dried beads are carbs, but they are what are called good carbs because of the fiber.

Also two table spoons of vineger three time a day will help...all this stuff is cheap and good for you...stay away from white bread and go with whoal grain...keep riding your bike or walking as this burns fat which if is not burned off turns to sugar....there are more and I know this works as I have seen it work in Leah...but you have to decide...Always in prayer am I for you...and I will get the numbers on those tires tomorrow and seee if they will fit your car...I got tied up today...if they will work for you I will try and get them shipped to you as soon as I can see a way to do so.

Your Reb friend
Al

Love it! Though you asked not, you shall receive; stevia reverses the effects of diabetes by healing your pancreas. Adding a small amount to your coffee in the morning is a good way to start. Try the suncrystals brand first.
Hugs!

Cursing is good. 300 is too damn high. You know that. If you are broke you can't buy the right kind of food, I am well aware of that situation also. I forget, are you on some kind of disability, something that pays for you medicine and doctors? You sound disable to me. Maybe you get get on that unless, of course, you already are.
