Type 1 Diabetic here. One thing I think most Diabetics do is take in way too much sugar to address hypoglycemia. Facts are quick sugar still needs some time to work it’s magic, meaning if I take a gulp of Gatorade that takes five minutes to make me feel better then I should just patiently wait the f...

My duck hunting buddy I believe lost both of his parents on that flight. ...

You obviously are not accustomed to living among Hispanics. This is not how it will play out with this woman. I find every part of her physically disgusting, but her politics makes her even more revolting. ...
I’ve been to Peru. Hiked all the way from Cusco to Aguas Calientes on the Salcantay Trail to Macchu Picchu. As far as destitution, never really saw too much, but know it exists there. It be hard to beat what I saw in the Philippines. ...
I don’t disagree with anything you wrote, but I believe most people cannot eat pure protein and fat to a level where they store it. It’s too filling. That said, if someone can do it, they’ll store it as fat. Take in more calories than what you burn, you get fat. ...

It’s less a focus on death as a focus on living right and always being prepared to meet your maker. Live right and death will be a welcome reunion. ...
For some perspective, an A1C of 6.5 is an average blood sugar of 160. It’s good you’re working it down because blood sugars that high will cause you problems down the road. ...
Eating fat does not make one fat. Eating fat with carbs causes an insulin response that stores the fat you just ate. Eat as much fat as you’d like, but avoid the carbs. It will not make you fat, will make you feel satiated, and may even make you smarter (brain food). ...
Best of luck to you. Type 2 is much more forgiving than Type 1, but some sacrifice is required to whip it. Stick with the plan. Looks like it’s already working. ...
Type 1 diabetic for the last 40 years. A1Cs run in the 4.5 - 4.7 range. I lift five days a week and eat high fat/protein and low carb. I weigh 184 and am 6’1. Read the book “Diabetes Solution” by Dr. Richard Bernstein. Read it and follow it and lead a long and healthy life. ...
I guess I’m the only one who has never understood the fascination with this woman. ...
I make a very good living and we save till it hurts, but some months expenses come up that are unforeseen. I had to get installed a tankless water heater, a roof repair, etc. that have run me $7,000 this month. We don’t always control how much we make, but we’re always in control of how much we ...
We’re a one income family and have been ever since the birth of our first daughter. To each their own, but for us, we wanted our kids to have a mother at home. Definitely don’t fault others with whatever they decide. I make good money so it made sense for us. ...
Speaking from experience, the loyal and devoted wife. I’ve had one for almost 26 years. No chance I’d pick anything else. ...
You’re confused. The gov’t has no money with which to “forgive you.” I had to pay your loans off. I already paid my own loans off and now I get to pay yours off. I’ll try not to think any longer about it, but part of me hates you with a fiery passion. Ok, all of me...
We won the grand prize in the Ralph Lauren contest. The prize was an all expense paid trip for two to Machu Pichu. It included mountain lodge stays during the 50 mile trek. It was awesome. The trip was probably worth about $15,000 at the time. ...
