My personal activities, successfully self managing my diabetes.
It was actually 1.35 miles last night … to be exact. :) By the way, I love pushing the envelope for my own personal gratification … but I also love the message YOU should be receiving from my antics or experiments…however you want to charactarize them… YOU HAVE NO EXCUSES!! Diabetic or not! Says a …
I am a Type 2 Diabetic with normal Blood Sugar. My contention is… 1) Conventional Wisdom is almost ALWAYS wrong… and I set out to prove that ALMOST on a DAILY basis. 2) With normal blood sugar, a diabetic can literally do anything a non-diabetic can do, assuming there has not been previous bodily harm …
In a previous post, “When is a Diabetic Toe … Just a Toe?” and it’s follow up… “Diabetic Toe… Part II”, I discuss what happened after I receive a cut on my foot from walking around the house barefooted. Today’s post will address the other topic of the original post … barefoot activities for diabetics. Like …
Primal Living has given me many benefits, no doubt about it. The meal plan has reduced inflammation which has helped me immensely in successfully treating my diabetes. This post will discuss my experience with exercise and diabetes. Yesterday 3/14/11, I woke up and my blood sugar test read an 83 … which is about …
I hope these 30 Day Challenge posts are not too much of ‘me’. I am doing this primarily for me, to record what I am doing but I’m also giving people who are not on Facebook & Twitter more of an idea of my daily routines & eats. These 30 Day Challenge Posts show pictures of my …
The headline is NOT new news…. anyone who KNOWS anything about Type 2 Diabetes knows this. THERE is a LINK between high carb meal plans and Type 2 Diabetes! Sure genetics play a role.. but make no mistake… eating a grain loaded, high carb meal plan is WHY you have Type 2 …
This post is an update on my progress in the 30 Day Challenge including as you can see… FOOD PICS! Don’t know what the 30 Day Challenge is ? Read this link by Clicking Here. Strategy: I’ve always been a glutton… it’s just that now I eat ‘good primal foods’. It’s why I love intermittent …
Don’t misunderstand me, I’d love to set sail and see where the winds and the tides will take me. However, that won’t work when it comes to ‘diabetes care’. For diabetics it ends in amputations, nerve pains, organ loss and much suffering.
This week marks the two year anniversary of my Diabetes Diagnosis and my decision to do every thing I could to fight the disease. I am often asked ‘why did you decide to fight it’? … why did I decide to become a Diabetes Warrior? Why not be an ADA Diabetes Patsy? … and ‘give …
I do NOT ‘live’ like a diabetic. I eat like I want (low carb primal foods) and I exercise like I want…. I love the way I eat, play and live. I do not feel limited in the slightest way. That is so empowering!!! … and unlike the ‘typical’ diabetic. Yes, if I run barefoot sprints …
This post is about running with diabetes… with butter as my only fuel. Steve Note: I do believe that running long distances is inflammatory FOR ME. I do like to run longer distances occasionally … just to see if I can still do it. :) What is a long run for me… may be …
My Trip to South Mountain State Park in North Carolina. * Note: Pictures of our trip are below… following a brief discussion. :) Why did I title this post as such? Why not call it a “Trip to the Mountains”? … to make a point. I went to the mountains as a person with normal …
Too often, ‘we’ take drugs so we can eat cakes, cookies, bread, grains, cereals and chips. Taking drugs so we can consume more poison… is not a wise idea. Yet, millions do it every day.
First let me say… I walk and run in my yard barefooted regularly … while it is possible a rock or other sharp object could lay beneath the snow, it’s highly unlikely. Too, the snow is fresh and soft, it also provides a nice cushion. I also run sprints barefooted at the high school, on …
In the previous post, I posted pictures of our trip to Wilmington, NC (and Wrightsville Beach). In this post I will be showing people the food choices I made during the 36 hours away from home. Above is “my” low carb primal meal plan… did I stick to it? On a daily basis, I show people …
The pictures were taken January 4-5, 2011 at Wrightsville Beach, NC. … included are a couple of updated pictures of me… it’s been many months since I’ve posted any… but as you can see, I’m still about the same. I’ve been in the 160 – 170 lb range for well over a year now… despite …
To me… nothing says primal “X” like sprints. For some it may be lifting heavy things or squats, lunges etc … but for me it’s sprinting. I was once obese so it was a special treat when I was able to once again run sprints. I still remember my first sprint following my re-commitment to fitness. …
This blog post is my commentary regarding a video interview with Stuart Perry, former Chairman of the Board for the American Diabetes Association. Note: I am doing a month long nutritional test that is requiring me to “prick” my fingers much more often than normal to test my blood sugar…. just so you know… watching …
You know how Facebook is… you scroll through pages (screens) of activity…. or at least I do, looking for “stuff”. I am looking for ….. Something of value to “repost”. I LOVE looking for content to repost on Facebook/Twitter…. why? Sharing valuable information is THE best thing about “social media” such as Facebook. There is …
