re: Just diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes

I beat it. Hit 6.5, and the doctor gave me the same options. I dropped from 227 to 198 in 6 months strictly by changing my diet. Lose most breads, and pasta. I ate mostly meat and veggies, but still had an occasional cookie, or chocolate. No soft drinks, and 2 beers after cutting the grass. Did not even start exercising, as life is and will be busy. Screw your family's diet. It is your life you need to protect. Let them eat what they want, and you prepare what you need for yourself. This is not 1st grade and your mommy is packing your lunch. This is an almost 50 year old man with a lifetime of poor food choices. Fix it, and you will be fine, without Ozempic.
