My biggest disappointment is that I enjoy beer, and now the most the doc will "give" me is a beer or two around Christ,as and New Years.

I went from 7.1 A1C reading when diagnosed to 5.8 in three months.

So I said to the doctor, "the A1C is below 6.0 which means I am no longer a diabetic.

He replied, "you have to think of it like being an alcoholic, you can get sober but you can't ever go back to drinking".

I agree that if it taste good, it must be bad for you like ice cream.

Fiber One cereal taste like cardboard but you get used to it. Mind over matter, "if you don't mind, it don't matter".

It still would be nice if there were more options out there as it gets boring trying to stick to a limited amount of healthy choices especially for those who don't cook.
