Poll of the Day > The work day is so much easier if you cut the sugary stuff

(+) Yeah! (+)

I use to have a donut every day and would be dying 6 hours into my shift every day. If you just eat something like a banana a sandwich and water you keep the same high energy level all day.

I like sugar tho.

Give me gummy candy or give me death!

Sounds like your diabetic or prediabetic.

I'm 6" 140 though. I was told you pretty much had to be overweight to get diabetes, but then I haven't been to a doctor in years.

That is not true, its more likely but you can have diabetes at any weight.

Also youre under weight. I am 150 and 5'9" and boarder line under weight. Youre a few inches taller and weigh less, that isnt good.

Figures, I tried eating a lot of junk food to gain weight.

My problem is that I mostly learn from personal experience, not a good approach with your health.

False. I know plenty of people who are not overweight who have it. They are like the average size for humans...

As for me, I need the sweet. I went without gummies for a while multiple times. And I was always looking for something to snack on. I missed them. I did have other things like chips and stuff. But chips weren't sweet, even though they tasted good... Eh...

Glucose usually takes less than an hour to be processed by the body and then the craving starts again. Which is why I usually tell people to eat as little carbs as possible at breakfast (for people who actually take the time to eat breakfast) or even diner. Fruits are made of fructose which takes longer to process and do not require insulin for the cells to use.

And do ignore the people who knows jack shit about this. You're very, VERY unlikely to be diabetic.

I was 6"1 and 240 when I got it, the meds (gyberide specifically) caused me to gain 20 pounds but still barely showed at all (just a bit in my tummy). Was quite capable of hiking/jogging/playing tennis etc all day.

So yeah, you can be in shape and still get it.

I'm a bear btw, I know to most people 240 sounds like alot, but I'm about in perfect shape at 220 (that was my weight when I came in 3rd out of 500 people who tried out for the special forces at Lackland AF base.

Two hour lunches and naps in my car make my work day easier.

You dont. There are multiple ways to becoming diabetic. For type 2, its generally being obese. But type 1 can happen regardless.

correct

your pancreas doesn't really give a shit what weight you are, if it decides to not work right, that's what it's gonna do
