FWIW, I tend to make enough of my own food to get by for at least a week with the Microwave. I have a stew that I like, and a cereal that I developed based on hulled barley that works well for me. Both of them took time to work out, but it was worth it. I keep both in the fridge. When I don't have time to prepare it, I…

At the time of my diagnosis, I had an A1c of 9.9, and my BG was at 280. I typically range from about 125-165, although I try to keep…

Greetings gentlemen - I was diagnosed in February, with an A1C of 9.9, and fasting BG of 280. At the time I weighed 340 lbs. I don't know about you, but the Dr did not tell me much in that first appointment other than my A1c was dangerously high, and to set up an appointment with a dietitian. I will say up front that I…
