My blood sugar is at 7.6...
My doctor just called me this morning (Had a physical last week) an said all was good (kidneys, cholestoral, prostate, etc.) except that my blood sugar was 7.6. He said that it isn't critical in anyway, but it is certainly signs of diabetes...
Damn...I am gonna try to drop 20 pounds to see if this will change things.

Trolling about somebody's health feels hollow and mean.
Good luck? Hope the diet helps.

Re: My blood sugar is at 7.6...
I don't exactly think my health is at any real risk at this point, but I am probably at a crossroads regarding my diet. I stopped drinking sodas and eating fast food a few years ago (Although I will cheat and eat a little fast food once in a while), but I probably still eat out way too much, and I have a soft spot for chocolate.AbeVigodaLive wrote:Trolling about somebody's health feels hollow and mean.

At my age, I think it is still up to me going forward. My doctor said that this is by no means incurable.

210...I wear it well, but, I could lose a few if necessary. When I was younger, and in excellent physical condition, Army days...I was about 180.LakersNeedShaq wrote:What's your weight at now?

I always thought you'd be heavier for some reason. I'm 210lbs also, but prob not as tall as you are. I don't have any health problems though, not yet at least. Just a back that goes out once every few years.
Re: My blood sugar is at 7.6...

In all seriousness... Riley looked a bit heavy in that video of him shooting.
But he's older, so I assume that's pretty common.

Re: My blood sugar is at 7.6...
My biggest issues have been my left knee...I tore my ACL back in 2001, and my knee has never been right since. I just had a torn meniscus repaired in the same knee back in February. I cant really do all of the things I used to do before the ACL tear, but I still referee basketball. But, playing softball, basketball, golfing, and many of the other things I used to do, I really cant anymore.LakersNeedShaq wrote:rileymartin wrote:210...I wear it well, but, I could lose a few if necessary.

I think you are confusing that with muscle. I have a thick neck, and have always had mass. As I said, when I was in elite shape I was 180 lbs...at only 5-10. I actually was "overweight" by Army standards, but I always passed a tape test.AbeVigodaLive wrote:In all seriousness... Riley looked a bit heavy in that video of him shooting.

If you go to You Tube and watch this video full screen and pause right at 7 seconds, you can clearly see the muscle...I am not skinny by any stretch...but I still have plenty of muscle mass...

So you're 30 lbs. over your ideal weight.
Fair enough. My point stands.

Look. We get it. You're old. So it's easier to try to justify being out of shape, especially when you compare yourself to other old people.

Look. We get it. You're a bit overweight... just as I wrote many posts ago. Why are you arguing time after time if you agree with me?
