Activities
My personal activities, successfully self managing my diabetes.
I LOVE Big Butts
I love big butts! … Boston butts that is. :) Fatty meats are the cornerstone to my diabetes diet.
Smoke on the Water, Fire in the Sky
After decades of ‘living in the rat race’, my love for nature and zest for living was reawakened. Now I try to live ‘in tune’ with nature as much as possible in the modern world…
Diabetic Shoe Review
I was approached by DiabeticShoeHub to review their diabetic shoe, I-Runners. I agreed. When I agreed, I was typically barefoot so I decided to wear the shoes for short periods of time to allow my feet to adjust to shoes in general and to these shoes specifically. After a couple of weeks of wearing the …

I love the low carb paleo lifestyle. It helps me successfully manage diabetes.
I am NEVER going back to the way I once ate and lived. NEVER! :)
Very Low Fat Diabetes Experiment
The most important lesson … just looking at fasting numbers is NOT enough.
Very Low Fat Diabetes Experiment: Phase 1
My personal daily goal: Obtain and maintain truly normal blood sugars. Note: I am content to eat, play and LIVE as I do today… for the rest of my life. But I LOVE to experiment! And if I can help others find a means to improve their insulin sensitivity and improve their blood sugar levels, …

24 Hours of Le Steve
Have you heard of, “24 hours of Le Mans!?” … this is nothing like that. LOL! :)
This post will be pictures of blood sugars, activities and foods for one day. I’m going to try to take blood sugar readings every hour or two once the day begins. Hopefully it will be more helpful and inspirational than the race.
Purpose: To educate, motivate … and perhaps entertain. :)
Note: At the end of this post is a Google Doc that is embedded in the sheet. Just ‘refresh’ the page to see ‘real time’ results. Isn’t this exciting!!! :)
Ed’s Bill: Government Controlling Diabetes Speech
Diabetes Educators and the Medical Industry do not promote ‘self-management’… stating such is LUDICROUS! The medical industry promotes using a ‘diabetes care team’, all of whom get their ‘cut’ from public and private insurances. They all combine to make diabetes self-treatment impossible by promoting a blood-sugar-elevating diet.
The Battle Rages On with Jennifer Elliott
Dietitian, nutritionist and diabetes educator groups are on the front line of this battle. As more people realize the dietary guidance from them is a sham … the less people will pay for their services.
Blood Sugar Readings: Thriving Diabetic
Displaying a 12 or 24 hour flat line creates a stark contrast to the typical diabetes roller coaster; the soaring highs and crashing lows are harmful physically and mentally as people attempt to maintain control.
Carb Requirement Nonsense
I look to our distant past to see if there are ways I can live closer to how we were designed to live, but I test everything against my blood sugar levels. Normal blood sugar levels are the key to THRIVING with diabetes, not living according to some dogmatic fantasy reconstruction.
Karen Gale: Summary Story

Folly Beach – Day Three
When I arrived, the sun was not visible due to cloud cover. Then suddenly, the clouds gloriously parted and the sun was visible over the horizon. I watched intently as the sun began to climb the sky over the Atlantic.
A glowing, golden orange ball in the sky. It’s reflection colored the water and the waves that broke in its light …a TRULY surreal scene.
Folly Beach – Day Two
From sun rise to past sunset, we keep on the move when we are at the beach! As I noted earlier, I had no energy shortage and was able to keep up with my sons throughout the day.

eXcellent eXercise eXperiments
Brad, knowing how much I hate to lose, in an attempt to console me adds,
“I guess your age is catching up to you finally.”
What the hell???
Brad meant well when he said this, but to me … it was like sticking a hot stake into my eye!
