Republican Party is now a Fringe Group and Doesn’t belong in top 2 party group!

* Welcome to Site In My Opinion Politics

There is a Trumpian Party or a Radical Party or an Extremist Party, but there is no Republican Party at this point of time or in the for see-able future especially with Trump involved. Maybe someone could create a new CONSERVATIVE party.

Also, seeking Revenge is childish particularly for such reasons as Trump plans to do so. It conflicts with Christian required behavior.  It is just wrong in any context.

If Trump creates a new party [which I do not believe he would], it should NOT be called Patriots or any derivative but be called something more appropriately in line with what it would be ….  like:  Radical, Extremist, Erratic, Irrational, Manic, Corybantic.  In no definition is his based party patriotic. Even if some of the so called Republican party supported policies are worth considering, his party has lost any functional policy concepts as they are buried in bad behavior.

Tracking Summary Sheet [updated 1/8/2024] made Summary Breakdown Summary into 2 pages

Diabetes Kidney weight loss

In combination with my tracking worksheet form these help me.  This is my current method.  Different people use different methods of handling their diabetes.  I am new to it all so this helps me.  Everyone has to figure out what works for them.  Also, I use pencil in case I need to change something.  Also I do the count at the end of the day for the tracking summary.

Update Note: American Diabetes Association lists 13-16 carbs [15 grams each appx] as normal daily intake of carbs on a 2000 calorie diet. [I assume 9-11 to be normal for a woman who is sedate.]

I use these two forms and they help me, but my Sister uses index cards on her refrigerator instead of a form. Everyone has their own way of doing it.

I am using the Univ of Ark [Diabetes Division] Food Exchange List with the American Diabetes Assoc My Plate Pamphlet of allowed foods along with Weight Watchers Point System of 2010 for references of above categories and monitoring of food and carbs/nutrition.

 

Below form has been updated 3/21/2024.  Added Fruits & Vegetables to form.

New to Diabetes Monitoring

Uncategorized

On Feb 23, 2020, I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 and have to learn how to monitor it along with weight loss monitoring. Upon researching it and talking with a nutritionist, I have found it best to tailor my monitoring to myself as a unique person [all people are unique].

Upon being introduced to the “My Plate”, I found it confusing and very unhelpful. It might help if you only ate one meal a day, but that for me is impossible. It simply did not work for 3 meals with 3-4 carbs a day especially when milk, fruits, and some vegetables are carbs as well as some sauces and condiments [bbq and sweet & sour sauce as well as pancake syrup].

Therefore, I looked at a lot of pyramids and exchange lists. They pretty much include much of the same stuff, but have some differences. Therefore, I decided to tailor my diabetic monitoring specifically for myself. To add to the difficulty, I have to loose a lot of weight and am sedate in life style. I have not explored exercises tailored to me yet. That is next.

Research on diabetes has explained to me that each person is different and what works for one person might not work for another person. It is like taking a course of study [Biologic Chemistry] in college. If anyone says it is simple and just do what a nutritionist says [or your doctor], they are wrong. It is not easy, especially, if you cook for one person and don’t actually cook, but mostly microwave.

Commitment, discipline, and consistency are not simple to learn either especially when you are use to eating foods as you want when you want.  Also, if you get limited foods, you want them to taste good.  The sauces cost you carbs or other food groups.  IT IS NOT SIMPLE or EASY!

By the way, I have to watch consumption of soybean, garlic, and salt. Grapefruit is out because it conflicts with other medications. Salt is also bad because of water retention and blood pressure let alone it retains body weight when too much salt is used.

For a Woman losing weight and using Reduced-Carb Diet: [A man/male would have more portions especially if active.]

I am using this pyramid along with the Univ of Arkansas Food Exchange and Weight Watcher Point System from 2010.  Weight Watcher’s has a new system in 2019-2020, but I am using the one I already have and not changing over [using 18-23 points].  As of March 9, 2020, with no excercise yet.
