I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.

Oooh. Yeah.
I've just been diagnosed as borderline diabetic instead of borderline pre diabetic. Bunch of changes already are difficult to swallow. Literally.

Limit beer, severely.
(Spouse and I are BREWERS.)
Cut out sweetening things (farewell, sweet milky tea!)
Severely limit refined starches (aka ALL the comfort food)

I have classes all this week. How to use the blood sugar monitor. Retinal scan, and Diabetes 101.
And then there's the new drug, Metformin.

Hug.

I'm at the point of making the change.
Please LMK if I can be of any help.

I am afraid I qualify more as "non compliant" that intermittently compliant.

I love the last two lines. So true. Nicely done.

Medical compliance can be really difficult. Sometimes, it seems to go against our better judgment. I wish you the best of luck.
