DIABETICS TRY to STAY on TRACK

Feb 2021

Please follow your doctor PRESCRIBED DIET REGIMEN. I am sharing my past professional experience, along with what I was prescribed by my medical team.

If we are eating what is allowed, then we should be ok, right? Getting off TRACK in what you should have in your diet can be dangerous. We must make sacrifices and learn how to exchange foods that are able to satisfy and keep us on TRACK. Reading labels and getting answers about vitamins and minerals from your medical team is a great tool to help you stay on TRACK.

I enjoy deep-fried chicken, but I had to find another way to get that satisfaction. My daughter got me an air fryer, and it gives me that satisfaction when I have that CRAVING. There are options out there for us all, but we MUST look and ASK about them. FRIENDS, I found being true to ourselves about Diabetes and our individual health conditions is the BEST thing to help maintain our health. It is not the we are not allowed have something like we use to. Stay on TRACK with your regimen and embrace it the best you can.

I AM HAPPY AND PROUD TO SAY THAT MY LONG FIGHT WITH MY TYPE 2 DIABETES HAS TAKEN A VACATION, AND IF I KEEP ON TRACK AND PRAY FOR A LONG WHILE. I WAS TOLD FROM A COUPLE OF HATERS A WHILE BACK. “IT COMES BACK”, NEVER TO SAY THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

AN OPEN DOOR CAN BE WAITING. IT IS ABOUT WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH NOW. NEVER LET ANYONE TAKE WHAT HOPE YOU HAVE FOR YOURSELF.

Substituting one food another can be tough. These substitutions should be discussed with your medical team. It can affect your medications' potency, nutrition value, and other things. Exchanging within the same group, for example, RICE for POTATOES. Both are carbs or starches, but different vitamins and minerals. Be ALERT exchanging an item for item (for example a FRUIT for a FRUIT) make sure it can provide the same thing your prescribed diet allows. IT NOT AS EASY AS SAYING I DON’T WANT THIS OR THAT.
