While white starches of any kind are strongly suggested you don’t eat, I believe occasionally should be fine. My sister in law is a type 2. She cannot do alcohol even a small glass of wine. Her BG goes into the 300’s. She can eat a small order of French fries as a snack twice a week from McDonalds and her BG levels don’t change. If I even think about eating fries my levels go up. I never was much of a alcohol user so that never concerned me by having to avoid it.
The Continous Glucose Monitor is a great device and as Ken wrote that will show almost immediately what a certain food can do to the BG levels. All medical advice are guides. How you interrup or use that advice is a personal decision.
I do know quite a few type 2 diabetics that are insulin users. I don’t believe Ken is type 2.
I currently count carbs and it’s 40-60 for breakfast and lunch each. 60-75 for dinner. I can’t eat less carbs at say lunch and try to makeup the total at dinner. Consistency is the word my dietitian keeps stressing. I miss my cold breakfast cereals. But the carbs were for 1/2 cup, the serving size on the box label of 45 were too much. I was definitely have 2 or more servings plus the carbs in milk. Low sugar products don’t mean a thing to my medical team. Right now they are concerned about carbs. Therefore, so am I.

darker chocolate 80 plus percent means less sugar do more chocolate if you can fit it in.
the really really weird thing is if you eat low fat meat, lots of it,when on a low sugar diet,the body can and does turn exyta protein into sugar!
If diabetic I would say do NOT do a low fat diet.Do a calorie controlled diet,and if possible drop the grains,which means drop the
bread.
Also a often overlooked fact 3 rashers ,60-80 each,of bacon,two eggs,80-100 each, cooked in the bacon fat and mushrooms, not much but give vitamin d, is a good lunch for 450 calories, most blokes can easily accommodate this as a breakfast, but no nil zero bread. Is. Good diabetic menu,and really feeling,extra bacon or egg if calories allow.
Beware sausages often have bread carbs.
If you can face a Omad day one meal a day, you can have a great meal and filling, eat about 4-6 and then a snack within 4 hours, you will find your body quickly adapts, seriously waiting and getting a good meal works.
If you have acid reflux issues,eat pickles,east fermented food,take one teaspoon of cider vinegar in water,and in less than a month your stomach flora will recover, if you also Omad you rest you stomach a lot, your body starts up a clean up job over a longer period and repairs your body easier.
If you take vitamins, take them with food,and your body needs all the building blocks to repair,or they lay down fat.
Omad also means when you work am your body uses laid down fat also helping you lose fat,and trim body,and usually build muscle.
there is loads of stuff on the internet,often contradictory,and down right confusing, but check out omad. Check out the benefits of cider vinegar. Check out the benefits of fermented - often including pickled goods.
Avoid processed sugar replacements most of them do as much if not more harm than actual sugar.
Get your vitamins from vegetables, and only a little from fruit,if fruit apples are good, the saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away had sone subfstance
]Since the beginning of 2021 the other half and I have dieted slowly, it no more than a couple pounds each month is best to avoid saggy skin, I have lost over 2 stone,he has lost 4 stone, he is much taller more muscled and bigger to start. We have tried several diets as long as we follow calorie control as well,as boredom set in we tried another, if sone thing did not work we stopped and tried something else,and when certain foods caused problems we stopped or radically reduced them
tomatoes love them, but too many can cause mouth ulcers.
eggs,whole eggs love them,excellent food very filling,but drink well or you can get constipated.
do not overdose on vit c,high usage when actually unwell,
winter time hammer vitamin D3 (not d2) and k2, the D3 and k2 work very well together, and stop some issues from just k2.
D3 underlays over 150 processes in your body, not enough they cannot work, summer time 10 minutes out in the sun and you do not need tablets, only take them when you cannot get sunshine.
OK I am getting boring, getting? Hope this helps.
I'll pass on this one.

They eventually make it out that wayI remember someone that cast Keystone Station and Tower signs, that was in the 70s. I like your whistle and Bell posts. Regret not getting my hands on a real one. While the W sign was common approaching road crossings, the only place I recall R signs was on the A&S Branch at Columbia, PA., where there was a noise ordinance. There were also MX signs approaching multiple crossing but they were rare in comparison.

PRR # 8592 on break in run. Incredibly quiet running, with accurate ALCo sound, and awesome detail.
Dave: I presume those are the ships that sail down the St. Lawrence River in the Fall?
Troy: And they are really very frugal...Hate to spend money on things they can produce themselves for less.
Greg: Because they can. And because y'all are seasonal residents...it's an easy job for the vendor...
Not for nothing, I will no longer mention neither taxes nor septic tanks again....
Louis: Thought Sonic was a drive through burger joint. Man, I'm behind the times.
BLI is offering a PRR class E6 4-4-2 Steam Passenger Locomotive in three versions. MSRP is $599.99. That's equivalent to two sound equipped RS3s....I think I'll stick with diesels.

Ya, ima type II also. alcohol does not mess with my blood sugar, in fact it is usually just over 100 the morning after. Did insulin a couple of years ago or so then they switched me to Ozempic when I went under A1C of 8. I also lost weight - started at 285, now 220 - can't seem to get that last bit of belly bulge off. I think I will make 200/210 in time. I eat pretty much what I want and have really cut down on portions. Get to go to the Doc next week for my yearly so we will see how it goes with A1C and Cholesterol.

I don’t see a “mis-conception”. Any information regarding diabetes either 1 or 2 says reduce alcohol consumption. I certaining wasn’t criticizing Ken, I was surprised he had one, that’s all for his 1st day on the monitor. As i stated, everyone is different.

That’s about the same idea as our grain loading process. Back in 1993 I picked up a load of potatoes in Colorado near Wolf Creek Pass I was loaded at 55 degrees and was delivering them to Atlanta produce market. They were in huge totes.

Nice Feedstore we used to trade at Wayne Feed in the next town over when I was a kid I always liked the smell in there and my dad would always buy fresh eggs there.

Lee, can you describe the Atlanta Produce market in 1 or 2 words? I can describe the LA market of the early 70s in 2. But not on here.......
You know I gave up building a large layout at home years ago. I'm set to pull the pin in a little over a year at which time I will probably build a small home layout, possibly traction, so I've accumulated a large stash of vehicles. Three or four Xerox copy paper boxes worth. You don't realize it until you get there, but even a smaller home layout or three or four modules can swallow vehicles like crazy. Most are for steam or transition era, so nothing much newer than 1957 or 8. One of those boxes is full of Athearn trucks with Mack B-60 cabs. Maybe I should build a truck stop diorama or a TOFC terminal!

It’s 18 mles instead of 25 miles, in a different direction.
Interesting thought. I've build the Jordan Baggage wagons. Not sure if I'd have the patience to build something like that! Maybe you could scrounge the barrel, the horse, and the wagon wheels out of castings. Then it wouldn't be bad.Yeah, but no assembly or painting required.
I meant as a potential scratch build.
Nice roof work on the feed store!

Good afternoon, we have 12 above zero with a raw wind blowing
Louis, I found your comment on the Chevy Sonic. I knew you had one too. So many posts sometimes loose track
Curt, Willie Thanks for the comment on yesterdays pic. It is a favorite of mine
Hopefully getting some ground on my layout Saturday, then will really start making scenery
I like the way the ground is in the foreground, hope I can get a similar look on the new layout. Funny thing I have observed about doing scenery, the best results seem to come quite by accident.
By The Way, there is a rabbit hunt going on, I picked out three of the rabbits I forgot were there (above photo)

Wait til she hears the fitting price, she’ll be pooping like mad!Mother in Law's place had her finger system for the septic freeze up a few years ago (NE Indiana - we do get sub-zero F° days and had. a week of them).
that caused the main tank to fill. She had to have it pumped out... One little old lady just can't generate enoughall by herself to keep those microbes happy.
On a better note, her county has declared that outhouses and septic tanks are an issue, and are requiring all county residents to go on septic sewer. Her little bump in the road non-incorporated town is currently getting the pipes run to the houses.
Seems the only people with an issue with that idea are the ones with the outhouses. The Amish. That part of Indiana has a Metric-Crap-Load of Amish.
Sanitary sewer requires running water. Which is against their lifestyle. Well, I suppose they could put in one commode, and a hand pump next to it. Get some exercise filling the toilet tank with the hand pump from the well.
Maybe flushing is what's against their lifestyle.

You must have the patience of a saint, but good of you to point out the actual sad opposed to the suppositions. I bet the fuel place loved your responses.

Good Afternoon Fellow Model Railroaders......overcast and mild with a little light snow over night. More snow tonight with 1-2 inches possible.
Puppy sitting for Riley once again while Cathy is at the dentist and doing some shopping for herself. Riley is a good young dog and likes to sleep in her crate. All I have to say to Riley is "Time for a Nap" and she will go to and into her crate. Last night a pack of coyotes woke Riley and myself up in the middle of the night. Sounds like they were in our back yard.
One January night after a light snow and the temperature around zero, I took my dog out for a walk down the private lane that is along our property. The full moon came out so I could see the deer tracks combined with a set of wolf prints in the new snow. Our dog must of smelled the wolf and didn't mind turning around and heading back to the cabin. Wolfs are more common in Central Wisconsin than most people want to believe and rather go by the numbers provided by the DNR which I believe are low.
Just looking at my 1.75 liter Jack Daniels bottle next to my computer desk that's half full primarily with silver coins. Time to get the coins counted for some RR supplies like a new Digitrax throttle. I used to save the coins for TrainFest and in a year's time the coins add up. It's hard to find a bank to cont the coins.
Tomorrow, I plan on having a model railroad afternoon.
Went on Tuesday to check on the cabin. Maybe six inches of snow on the ground in the woods where there is shade. Cathy took some items for next Spring. We received our Collector Plates for Cathy convertible which is 20 years old and with only 30k, needs tires this year. It's stored 12 months in a rented storage area so it stays in good condition. Two years ago, I applied a silicone treatment to enhance its shine. It really worked and this year I may reapply the product.
This afternoon I plan on pulling out my "Railroading With John Allen" book to become inspired.
Time to go...............

Agreed, potatoes might be tolerated if you have jacket potatoes or leave the skins on so the fibres helps,but I think it’s a try it and see,better checking with the doctor first whether you have the leeway.

Oh boy! Here we go again. Staying out of this one. We're skirting the political "third rail". I do enjoy polite intelligent debate. I almost always learn something in the process even it it's only an opposing opinion and the reasons for it, but sometimes I get carried away.
I'll pass on this one.

TomO, Sorry I wasn't meaning your post per se'. I meant as a general term there are several misconceptions what people think they know about Diabetes.
