I found out I was diabetic in fall of 2018. I weighed 240 at 6foot and my a1c was 12.1 which pretty much means you are going to die if you dont treat yourself.
My parents had to deal with a lot of diabetes crap before they died; neither of them lived to reach 65 years old, and 98% of diabetics are genetic, if I am not mistaken. I tried to cut back on my sugar intake because I'm afraid I'll develop diabetes, but no one in my family has ever had diabetes, so where did both of my parents get it?
I used to hit daily push up and upload on my Facebook page in my late 20s , now I'm a shadow of myself.
a lot of hidden bad foods if you are predisposed to diabetes.
No beer
very little very dry wine. kind of okay but can not be sweet.
quantity boozes straight up or cut with ice kind of okay.
Almost every diet in the world is horrible; I've cut out a lot of foods based on online recommendations, such as bread, noodles, but what's life without beer? With my current sugar level, I'm convinced I will not have diabetes, but I still need to be cautious and enjoy my diet while I can.
Almost everything is unhealthy for the system, including too much water.
Well I am lucky in 1 way my cholesterol levels are really good.
So unlimited meats and dairy is pretty cool for a diet.
Finding things that taste like pasta and bread is very hard and when I do find them they cost bigly.
