This post is largely a pictorial of this past Christmas weekend spent at Wrightsville Beach, NC … just outside of Wilmington. Pictures of sunrises, blood sugars and beach… and thanks to my father for the trip! :)
I will give two short story summaries. Conversations I had with a few people that I tried to help.
Thank you again Kimmy for taking the time to share your words, your story and your foods. :)
In their stupidity, North Carolina’s State Board of DIEtetic and Nutrition decided that I was in violation of state law when I actually helped people control their blood sugars.
I do believe that my gut is healthy… why? I am healthy. I maintain normal blood sugars and I am rarely sick.
HOWEVER:
1) I could be wrong, I know… shocking isn’t it. :)
2) Even if my gut is healthy, that doesn’t mean it could not be improved upon.
the information at the support group was a little better than some. However the conflicting advice had to leave many diabetics scratching their heads and wondering what the hell they should eat.
Are you addicted to sugar, grains or sweeteners? Maybe you say you are not addicted … but can you stop? Prove it. Take the challenge! Are you still addicted to sugar or grain-based products? Are you still addicted to artificial sweeteners? Take the challenge! Be sugar, grain and sweetener… FREE! Break the chains that bind …

You can listen to people like Courtney “Toxic Sludge” Slater …. someone who read that soy, hydrogenated veggie oils and whole grains are healthy in a book.
Or you can listen to people like me… people who are actually successfully managing diabetes with a truly diabetic friendly meal plan. People who are actually THRIVING!!! The choice is up to you.
EVERYTHING we do is an experiment. Everything.
YOU are the results of all that you have done up to this point.
I urge you to pay attention to your experiment and try to improve your blood sugars, your health and your fitness. You will be glad you did. :)
The transformational benefits I received could possibly be yours as well, but you will never know unless you change.
If you want to change your health, fitness or mental outlook… you will need change YOU.
A post … mainly pictures of a ‘day in the life’ of a successful diabetic … me. :)
This post revolves around my latest experiment and achieving my target blood sugars.
There are many Type 1 diabetics with MUCH better blood sugar control… even with truly normal blood sugars.
Bret is no more a role model for diabetes than Wilford Brimley or Paula Deen.
We are all experiments! Which reminds me of this quote by Eric Savage of MythBusters.
“Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science… is writing it down.”
At least in the eyes of Eric Savage, through the years I’ve done a lot of science. I guess that makes me a … scientist … :)
After my Diabetes Diagnosis … I started doing what I could do comfortably, and tried to do a little more each day.
When I first began doing push ups … I could only do 7 in a row.
I love real ‘science’ … sadly there is very little real ‘science’ in nutritional science.
The headline to a recent article on a study … aggravated me, so I am going to dissect it.
Wow! When I started this blog back in 2010 … who knew!?! :) I’m going to give a brief introduction and then go to the most viewed and favorite posts. :) I started the blog because … I was being mocked and ridiculed. I can take ridicule and mocking but after months and months, …
You meet a lot of interesting people on social media… this is certainly the case of Janey Ng. She is one of the growing number of diabetes success stories following a ‘low carb paleo’ diabetes diet. Her story is a powerful one! her story will prove anyone can go, ‘low carb paleo’. her story takes away ALL …
If you go to battle and you give your enemy fuel for their machines of war? If you give your enemy ammunition to attack you …. you are at war with yourself, not diabetes. Stop aiding and abetting the enemy!
THERE IS A BETTER WAY! There is a better way to successfully manage diabetes, the Low Carb Paleo way.
Bagels, cookies and sandwiches… bizarro world … except in the diabetes universe. Reality is turned upside down for profit.
The American Diabetes Ass has no shame… they will whore themselves out to any corporate entity willing to pay in cash.
Is your medical industry professional a member of the Idiocracy? The Medical Industry promotes a high carb, blood sugar elevating meal plan to those that need it the LEAST… diabetics. If that is not idiotic, I’m not sure if anything is…
