What do you do for a living?

[MrMrdevincamus]

I use to be a baker, and then I manged a cleaning business, but now I am on a disability pension.

Baking is a noble profession, and man do I love breads and pastries! Then three years ago I got diagnosed as a diabetic, and my world ended. I like eating better than drugs that I became dependent on after a serious motorcycle meets oak tree accident. It was much easier to cold turkey off oxyies after being on them for three years than to try and maintain my god awful near zero carb 'diet'.

Good bread is a rare thing.
My favorite bakery is Zingerman's, but this stuff is pricey.
So I only buy half priced day old bread.

My husband was diagnosed with diabetes a year ago, but he seems to be able to handle carbs as long as he eats enough protein along with them. Do you have to avoid them entirely? I would die without my carbs!

I am retired.

Don;'t give us that........ you're probably 21 and driving trucks, or 27 and and a solicitor!

I really am retired......... was a commercial detective.

 

[oldbadger]

.......
.........................I know how to live with a lot less than some people think that they might need. I spend less instead of making more.

That is equal to a job!
I love making, mending, obtaining and maintaining things for nothing or very little.

...love it!

Stay at home mom with a psychology and social work background.

I'm a student and I run a little Etsy shop. It's Pagan based, although a lot of the things I sell cater to Wiccans. It hurts my soul but it brings in a lot of money. I try to maintain some things I can put my word behind, but those items are just so I can maintain some pride in my shop. All the Wiccan stuff is really what keeps me afloat, so I do what I must..

What is the name of it?

1. Only when approved by the structural engineer.
2. Yes.
3. Nope, I don't run plumbing lines. I run refrigerant lines and hydronic heating/cooling lines.

Its weird how dietetics are addicted to the very thing that they should have, I suppose just continue in moderation and enjoy your life.

Otherwise known as God down here in the south. Its not real bad here in the mountains of northeast TN but drive a couple hundred miles south and a man almost needs gills to breathe.

Isn't it though? The worst is how quickly I gain weight using insulin. I have decided the only way to be alive ten years from now is a complete lifestyle change, that means rabbit food and cardio.

I was an iron-worker for a while and we called the above field engineering. Tools required, a Oxy Acetylene torch with rosebud tip and a rodbuster speed wrench...ie a sledge hammer....oh an rodbuster is a reinforcing iron worker.....

Oh my god, I said dietetics instead of diabetics lol, I myself love what you call rabbit food, maybe because I'm a vegetarian, and you know what rabbits are good at ? lol.

No I take my chances and eat carbs modestly, unless I slip up. Then I inject a unit of fast acting insulin for each gram of carb I go over. Eating protein doesn't help my diabetes, my pancreas is too far gone I suppose. Does your husband test before and after a carb rich meal? If I eat say a piece of pie with 60 grams of carb, that will push my number from around 125 to 260 or more. Yeah, I'm dead.
