Looking For Healthy Breakfast Ideals, Lunch Ideals As Well.
I work overnights five nights a week Mondays to Fridays
12 am to 8 am so my meals are a little different. I take my insulin and other medications at lunch 12:30 pm and bed time is
1:30 pm to 2 pm. I usually wake up at 9:30 pm leaving home at 10:30 pm. So I usually pack my work lunch when I get home in the morning, portion control work lunch. Nothing heavy for work lunch because no sleeping on the job for me.
I appreciate any help you can give.

Is There Some Method To What Anti-Diabetic Drugs The Doctor May Prescribe To YOU Or Do They Just Pick It Out Of The Air?

How About A Different Question Today? What Field/discipline/job/career Did You Study For Post Secondary If Anything?
I thought of this question from a number of posts where particularly new members come here asking for "medical advice" when we are simply a support group
During an Ambassadors meeting the other day a pertinent subject came up as well where the AI Bot uses information posted in the group along with whatever (medical) source to formulate an answer to a question asked
Now I know a fair bit about diabetes - grew up around it and took an interest and do a lot of reading - mostly university and… read more
I didn't attend College. I went to trade school for electrical and electronics. Didn't really like it so I went to truck driving school. The rest as they say is history
Why Do Some People Develop Type 2 And Others Don't Even If Their Lifestyle Is Identical?
A number of new members and some may be wondering "Why Me"
A "Disease" is defined as: a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs, or anatomical changes
So first off we can play a game of semantics and get hung up as to whether Type 2 is a Disease or a Metabolic Disorder or a Condition but none of that really matters
