Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
It is very hard to count carbs when dining out. Suggestions? Just follow the 1/2 plate vegs, 1/4 plate protein, 1/4 starch?

enjoy the meal. Just steer clear of heavy dishes. But I went out and my glucose shot up to 350 (17.9 Canadian numbers). But do not forget to bring your medication with you. Once in a while, it is okay.

I LIKE your answer, knuckle!! I'm pre-diabetic, so not on meds yet. But I like the way you think!! Thanks!

Just remember to pick something that isn't loaded with a bunch of fried foods or pastas. Most restaurants (especially in our area) will have a star or something by the food stating it is "healthy' but even those you need to really read the menu

I had gone to the grocery store. When I wheeled my cartback to my car I just stool there a minute. A few spacesaway a Tesla Cyber truck was parked. I had seen it on theroad a few times for a few seconds. But not close up.It looked like it belonged to 2126 and not 2026. I wasgoing to take a picture of the car but the owners cameback and drove away. It was an ordinary middle age...
