I think that I'm going to see the Black Panther movie today. Maybe it's an older man thing but I just can't get myself to the theater to watch movies like I used to. I like going to odd times when the theater is mostly empty. Sometimes I'll be one of maybe five people at the movie.

There were three other people in that showing. It was glorious.

So I was diagnosed with diabetes on Friday. Meeting with the doctor on Wednesday to figure out what we're going to do. I’m not excited about this.

So sorry, man. If it's the kind that is adult onset, you can reverse it by eating a ketogenic diet.

So I was diagnosed with diabetes on Friday. Meeting with the doctor on Wednesday to figure out what we're going to do. I’m not excited about this. Ouch. I have been monitored as pre-diabetic going on about 4 years now, it's a constant battle. I had to take insulin last year when I was in the hospital, but sugar levels came down enough once the wounds had healed that I didn't have to continue after I was released. Every time I go in for blood work to measure sugar levels and other things, and have a follow up consultation with my doctor, I expect to hear news I don't want to hear, but all I can do is keep trying to do the right things. I was on a diabetic diet the first 6 months after surgery too, which is one of the things the doctor stress. I should still be following it, and I try for the most part to do so, but it's easy to slip up. I hope your doc can help you work out a plan of action and gives you the tools and resources to manage the condition. -M

I'm so sorry Slam, I wished it was onset of adulthood and having a ketogenic diet would reverse it accordingly and hope that your doctor visit on Wednesday claimed that.

That's terrible news. I'm sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear that, Slam. Most adults develop some form of type 2 diabetes as they get older, and hopefully it will be manageable without an intrusive protocol.

Thanks for all the thoughts. I meet with the doctor again on Wednesday morning. I'm hoping that a combo of diet, exercise and maybe medication can improve things. I don't eat a lot of sugar so that won't be a problem. I do love me some bread and pasta though. Hopefully it will all work out. I do appreciate the support.

I was diagnosed a couple of years ago. Not thrilled with it, but like you, trying to be responsible about it and probably more aware of diet and exercise to keep it in check.
Keep us updated Slam.

Sorry to hear that, I've been there for several years. With treatment (mine is a pill twice a day) and some diet modification it's not too much of an intrusion on your life. I just had a checkup with my doctor a week ago and found out my A1C numbers have gone down, which is good. Good luck meeting with your doctor.
