Packer: you are right...you're just about mainlining sugar!! Forget about having warm pop...get the stuff out of the house. Blood sugar @538 is "blackout" time. Both you and the Mrs need to tackle this together. You've said before that you haven't had the willpower to lose the weight and keep on a program..if you have Good insurance...you should check out the Kobi-pouch or the "Lap Band procedure....not gastric bypass(too many risks/mortality rate) Lap Band is minimally-invasive. You are way too young to have these health challenges.....nip it now and live to be a ripe old age! PM me if you want to,Bud! Prayers for you,too Timm

GET TREATMENT NOW. Sugars of 500 are associated with increase risk of blindness, amputation and kidney failure. Weight loss, diet and exercise will lower the amount of meds you need but with levels of glucoses of 500 needs medicine. You need to get your cholesterol checked and if your LDL is greater than 70 you need that treated to. Good Luck

first, no sodas in the house. it's doable, we don't ever have that stuff around.
no prepackaged stuff (if it's heat and eat, throw it out!) full of preservatives and such, very bad for you. go all fresh, or frozen veggies.
cut transfats.
read all labels on all products--i heard this on the radio the other day--if the first four ingredients on the label are a sugar-throw it out. too much sugar for you.
use whole grains, brown rice, no bleached flour or white rice. whole wheat pasta.

i found a web site (hate to sound like a commercial) but it's call net-rition dot com. lots of sugar free products on there, but then again, you can find a lot of sugar free in the grocery store any more.

basically, eat like a caveman! and of course cookies and cakes didn't exist. berries, especially strawberries are a better fruit choice. they're higher in fiber.

you have to change your lifestyle, not just go on a diet. it'll take some time, but you have to give yourself a new routine. once you get used to it, it'll get easier.
