I don’t believe in voting for idiots. Period. I grew weary of hold my nose voting. If I don’t like either candidate, I don’t vote for them. I’m settling for dog crap cause of the letter after their name.
That’s not what he said. What he said is that before insulin will do any good you’ve got to eat right and with the cost of food at these levels that difficult to do.
This was laudable debate performance?
Not hardly.
Ignorance can be OK. You can be ignorant without being stupid.
You can also be ignorant because you are stupid.
Some people are just cognitively impaired and can’t help being both ignorant and stupid.
Walker has lived long enough he shouldn’t be willingly ignorant and still open his mouth.
Well maybe, but I’ve gone from Type 1 to Type 2. The BSL numbers support it, and my Endocrinologist was pleased, as was I. 4 shots a day sucked.
“The endocrinologist of my TWO type 1 children will be astounded to learn that type 1 is curable, reversible, or changeable.”
I’ll be glad to forward my Dr’s name/number at Wellspan Medical System, via FRMail, so your doc can talk to mine, if he’s so inclined.
Healthy Diet and exercise. Prevents and controls.
Walker was absolutely correct, if you don’t think he never listened to a trainer or a physical therapist, or a physician while pursuing a career in the NFL you’re probably very misdirected in your thinking.
The NFL treats their players like racing thoroughbreds, don’t doubt it. When the players are tired of being confined and they go out and raise hell well that’s on their own time but when it comes to the physicality and the maintenance of that physicality it’s all business.
“A basic lesson on how this disease works should be required reading in Jr. High.”
My two sisters are insulin diabetics, I married a woman who is very conscientious about healthy eating and as a military trained cook 48 years ago I learned how to prepare nutritious meals.
I don’t have diabetes because I eat proper and I eat healthy and I don’t overeat and I exercise, I’m not lucky I’m just proactive and to be honest I don’t know a much at all about diabetes other than my two sisters are insulin dietetics.
So true.
To add, it’s funny why some on this thread are fearful of the media making hay of this.
I mean, what is the media going to say? That being morbidly obese doesn’t contribute to being diabetic in many people, and instead go out and gorge yourself with yodels and twinkies all day, because “Walker is dumb”?
This sounds like what the left is doing now with “fat acceptance”, where you are not allowed to talk ill of the persons who are obese (talking ill meaning getting the person to eat right, exercise, etc.) — instead it is to be celebrated.
Neither of those people referenced are Type I diabetics. Not a troll. There is Truth beyond your broad generalization.
Unless you are saying you are the troll.
They are anecdotes, with all rights and privileges and statistical insignificance therein.

You were responding to nwrep so I included that poster as well. I'm agreeing with you while disagreeing with nwrep.
Thanks for the clarification. I’m type 1, and high carb foods mean I need to take more insulin. Eating healthier won’t cure my diabetes, but it would make me healthier.
My brother-in-law cured his type 2 by losing weight.
👍
Boy, Walker is more intelligent than I realized.
What is your A1C?
Hgb A1c % 5.5 %
ESTIMATED AVERAGE GLUCOSE 111 mg/dL
Whoa! i thought I was doing good with 6.5, average 145.
Re my: Hgb A1c % 5.5 %
ESTIMATED AVERAGE GLUCOSE 111 mg/dL
My FP and cardio docs use pictures of my wife’s healthy snack counter and levels to show patients, that often they don’t need special diets or insulin to have good levels.
Moderate exercise,like walking a mile a day and not starving, just eating good food when I get hungry and basically minimal carbs if any.
