Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007If I were no longer a diabetic
I'd miss the routine. Uncle Enrico wrote in message ... >I'd miss the routine. I wouldn't. The only thing I would miss is the people in this newsgroup. They are really the only people who know the day to day stuff that all diabetics deal with. No, diabetes is not the best thing that ever happened to me, as some people say, but I know it's not the worst thing that will ever happen to me either. Many others here have multiple problems, and I'm sure that they wish that diabetes was their only problem. I'm grateful for my mostly good health. :-) Cheri > Uncle Enrico wrote in message ... >>I'd miss the routine. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Cheri Good post, Cheri. I think, if I suddenly didn't have diabetes, I probably wouldn't change the things I now do and the way I eat. Except for an occasional laspe, I really enjoy the way I eat now. I would, however, really get back into full, triditional, recipe Italian food. John johnniemccoy@ wrote in message ... >Good post, Cheri.

I do feel so much better now in the past years, no heartburn, no swollen ankles, or any of those things...but the mind does wander back...if you know what I mean. :-) Cheri > johnniemccoy@ wrote in message ... > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Cheri Oh yeah.

I no longer order then for myself. I try and persuade some one else to order them then 'steal' a couple from their plate. The friends of diabetics become very good at sharing:-) Sharah T2 Now you are talking a different song. In the first post, I didnt read mustard.

John Loretta, Belgians eat a lot of this, often while walking around, (very popular, especially in "La Grande Place" where the Mannekin Pis is located) and Belgium is the source of some of the best beers ever tasted !

I guess I wouldn't miss the relentless routine but it is also true that I now eat more enjoyable and healthy food. Early in my diabetes journey I read a post (Alan S?) which made the point that if one has to have a restricted diet then restrict it to delicious foods. Now I eat small portions of expensive fish, prawns, calamari, smoked salmon and lean fillet steak. I eats heaps of mushrooms, asparagus, capsicums, and other delicious vegetables. Whereas before I might have had a couple of glasses of mediocre wine I now have one glass of a really great wine. This group has also become important to me. When I am down I can always count on someone posting something which makes me laugh out loud. BUT If I were no longer diabetic ---------then I would eat baked rice pudding with raisins on cold winter days :-) Sharah T2 >> > I'd miss the routine. >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >Sharah >T2 Interesting about winter days. The only food I miss is rolled oats porridge on a winter morning, made with sultanas and milk and honey...*sigh* And yes, I remember that - and I still follow that philosophy. I eat better and more enjoyably than I ever did pre-diagnosis.

Recently, where I live, the temperature didn't get UP to zero degrees centigrade for three days in a row. But I guess some Canadian can report colder days. If I am going to the pool to swim lengths after breakfast then I have a small portion of rolled oats porridge -and swim a few extra lengths afterwards! It's worth it! Sharah T2 >I didn't know that Australia had cold winter days. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >Sharah >T2 Australia is a little bigger than most realise; resembles Canada that way:-) Right now overnight in Cairns it is warm and balmy - but that's several thousand km north of here on the 28th parallel where it's a little nippy at 12C, although it will be 22C tomorrow afternoon. About 1500km South, and 1000 metres higher, in Perisher Valley it's probably snowing and they're looking forward to a good day on the slopes tomorrow: http://www.perisherblue.com.au/winter/snowreport/index.php Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 1500mg, ezetrol 10mg Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. -- http://loraltraveloz.blogspot.com/ latest: Mossman Gorge in the Daintree Rainforest http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/ latest: Self-Testing and Type 2 Management >I'd miss the routine.
