[QUOTE="Ragmar, post: 1745530, member: 470328"] I watched this comedy skit from Patrice O'Neal, he was a stand up comedian who was diagnosed with type 2 at 23 years old. He died of a stroke at 41 I think because he didn't take his diagnosis seriously. But back to the skit. He talked about how he was unable to just enjoy food, to make it brief "I ate really well yesterday, so that means today I can eat...a leg of lamb!" But essentially the point he made was that this is forever and I'm fine with that. I'm only like two months in and I'm exploring what foods are safe and etc and having fun with it. I don't know why that video brought me down, maybe it's because he died at 41 from a stroke. If he had taken his condition seriously he could've still been here hustling. I don't know. It just brought me down, and I was having a good night last night. I had 40 grams of whole wheat pasta, 100 grams of lean ground beef with some pasta sauce for dinner and one piece of garlic bread. My sugar level was clean two hours after, I suspect it's the weight loss that's reversing the insulin resistance. I'm going to play it safe today and eat some low carb salad and eggs and chicken wraps And lastly it's the numb finger, my right side pinky goes numb but like a livewire where it's all tingly. I went to the clinic and they said it's to be suspected, it's very mild because the sensation lasts only for a few minutes and only comes when I'm on my phone or reading a book. [/QUOTE]
