anyone have it?

I know it's not good to go through life worrying about stuff, but this one scares the hell out of me. It's why I've managed to stick with going to the gym this long (I used to quit after a month or two). Nothing to worry much for, with today's medical knowledge, you can live a perfectly normal life.

Reading this article has scared the hell out of me.

Even my 2 or 3 times a week at the gym are insignificant! My BMI is 22.8, and I'm desperately trying to get that down. Everyone says I look thin, but I still think I'm too fat. You can get diabetes through various ways. My is genetical, and it's at least 50% chance for kids to get it from a parent with the gene. In my generation, it's 75%, my mother's 100%, so I'm not buying the number though.

I've avoided getting a medical exam because I'm scared. but I am going to get one soon (in a few weeks). I'm scared of what it might show. I haven't got an exam since I got out of the navy almost 10 years ago. Don't avoid it. Diabetes is not dangerous if controlled, but if left alone, it can give serious health problems.

What I don't get about diabetes is they say you have to eat all these crappy foods with no protein. How can they expect you to work out at the gym 7 days a week and not eat large amounts of protein? I eat almost no sugar whatsoever and avoid carb foods such as potatos religiously. My diet is very high protein and low carb/sugar right now. I don't want to give that up to eat crappy plants that I don't like the taste of. Simply put meat tastes good. I eat my spinach/romaine lettuce salad and that's about it for vegetables for me. I'm trying to keep my weight down, don't want to eat alot of excess calories. Getting 70 to 80g's of protein a day fills up all my calorie needs. Any more and I'll gain weight. Bullcrap. You can eat 100% normal, even eat sweets, but of course, you need to be careful and know your body, how much insulin it needs for the food you're eating and so on. Excersising makes the body need less insulin. Which is good, as insulin is weight increasing. And more weight = more need for insulin =...

Anyone here have diabetes? How do you manage it? How is your quality of life not being able to eat protein rich foods? I don't mind giving up carbs, but eating all this fibre rich non protein stuff seems yucky. Seems like I'd be on the toilet like 5 or 6 times a day if I ate all that crap! I'm not a rabbit dammit! I have no problems managing my diabetes. I eat normal, and should you be able to if you get it. As said, the no protein is not true. I have diabetes MODY 3 btw. One of the around 30 types of diabetes not fitting into the diabetes 1/2 system. A little of the marks of one here and two there.
