For what it is worth . I weigh in at 128 pounds and am 5' 8" tall. My
daughter is the same and she wears a size 2 (in designer clothing) and
I wear a 3-5 in off the rack from Nordstrom's. I am at my heaviest in
my whole life. When visiting my
mother and father is Norway this summer I stuffed on great cheese of
the areas.
I also gorged on Salmon fresh from the fiords. I will get back to
normal as fall progresses.No more wonderful fern curls cooked in
butter and wine.
My husband is 6' 4" and weighs in between 198 and 220 depending what
country we are in at the time
I believe it is our dedication to sport and exercise that keeps
everything well within normal limits.
How much do you weigh and what is your height?

127 and I'm 5'9." Of courseI have no way of actually knowing what you
weigh or how tall you are, just as you have no way of knowing about
me, so...I'll stick with that story. LOL You're starting to sound very
familiar to me, very much like a poster from the past with a different
nick.

Why is it if a person is different from you you outright reject them
or start ad hominem attacks. I came here not too long ago to gain
insight in how others practice their care for Diabetes.
In good faith I posted our way of live and practice. Within our
personal support groups we find that most people are like us and do
not have huge problems with this disease because we don't let it
become the total reason for our being.
Life is just to short to make a disease the focus of ones life.
If you don't accept what I have to say that I would suggest you not
create posts directed to me and which are very critical of my way of
life.
I am very happy with it thusfar.
Thank you and have a bright future.

And for what it is worth which is not much to you people! I attended
the Joslin Diabetic Center and Clinic in Boston, MA and the Mayo
Diabetic Center in Arizona.in Scottsdale to be exact. I have returned
several time to Mayo as it is very good and presents programs that my
team approves.
So I would say I know a good deal about Diabetes.

I am not a "he" and I am not a type to but inbetween 1 and 2 and I do
take insulin.
What do you take?

You should have mentioned you were using insulin when you were posting
all your meals. It explains a lot of why you can eat that way. BTW,
nobody started any ad hominen attacks, I simply said I didn't believe
you. Turns out, you are using insulin, so now I do believe your
numbers.You have a bright future too.

Remember that woman in ASD a few years ago that used to post her
(supposed) menus, and always said she "gorged" on this or that and
followed the ADA recommendations? Mrs. something or other, I can't
quite come up with the name, but it sounds very much like her.

No-one's asked his type. I think he's type 1 on insulin, and everyone's
assuming he's type 2.

Most of us here do not follow the ADA.

Most of us here have type 2 and it's an inability to metabolize carbs. You
seem to be bragging about what you can eat and we can't.

Either that or he is a very large man. I know two such. They can eat a lot
more carbs than I can. However, I'm with you and don't believe it.

WTF? I do own the HUGE Joslin book on diabetes. I know what it is. And
nobody has to follow in my footsteps. I am trying to do a raw vegan diet.
I doubt that would appeal to most people, but it does to me. You seem to
know precious little about diabetes.

That's what I'm thinking too. And what country is she posting from? First
it sounded like France, then Australia and now I just don't know.
