VA VET Diabetes Support Group

My story is been diagnosed with diabetes many years ago. Never really thought that much about it even when a doctor told me I should lose weight man your DIABETIC. So I never listened I never lost weight.  Just kept living not thinking much about what I ate. I never new that your diet ever played much of a part in your diabetic health. Fast forward about 5 years my heart was plugged by all the bad food in my diet. Stent put in heart oh I feel great again back to my same diet. Oh yeh I heard bacon is badkel or your heart I thought to my self Maybe I shouldn't eat it! So I went 2 years before I started with BLT's I was feeling good so I started trying to eat what I thought was a healthy diet,  grains Bread,potatoes,cereal any I thought was healthy granola bars, etc.  I was always hungry, and I ate
Thought I was eating right but I can't lose weight.
 This went on for years the doctor gets pissed by blood sugars keep going up A1C etc.She sends me to the specialist.  I am treated for the
symptoms and not the cure. This goes on and on
Checking blood sugar trying to eat right I thought but no one told be about my diet restrictions
I would try to lose weight and when I did eat the right food my blood sugar would be better.  Because I took more insulin, mediformian etc.
Then on the radio beat diabetes by controlling diet I think can this really work or is it just a way to scam you out of money! I stay on my meds and shots but every day I hear about diet and diabetes. THEN ONE DAY AN EMAIL OR TEXT APPEARS in the mail box. Free lunch come listen to seminar about lowering blood sugars with diet.So I call my brother in law who has diabetes too! We go and listen made sense and the food wad good. He made sense and took the fifty dollar screening to see if I was a good candidate for his treatment. Set up appointment with wife to come.  Needless to say the interview didn't go that well. He was a chiropractor (I thought what does a chiropractor know) about diabetes. My wife and I didn't like the guy for a number of reasons. But it did give me the Idea to research this idea out. I went to YouTube. Found some good advice from real doctors.
