Several years ago a German doctor came up to my bed in the V.A. hospital and said if I lost 150lbs the diabetes would go away. So I said okay, do you lose 150lbs.?
How do you lose 150 lbs.? Take a walk in the park and don’t come back. Seriously. I’ll be here all week. Oh, your’e serious? OK. Try not eating for a few months.
That’s sounds familiar, being told about the weight.
My fasting glucose is 94, I think.
I’ve read that the vast majority who have that number go on to get diabetes.
But at my weight, if it takes 20 years i’ll be dead and it won’t matter :)
Seriously, God has blessed me with good genes and I am pressing my luck.
But I’m not a candidate for weight loss surgery as I have a prior head injury that makes any surgery much more difficult.
And I just don’t want it anyway.
It is what it is.
