How important is dessert after your meals?

[Salty]

Do you normally have dessert after your meals?

 

[Deacon]

Meat and potato’s
If there’s room for dessert I didn’t get enough meat.

As a diabetic, I must be careful with the sweets. That said, I probably ate enough to get me to this point to last the rest of my life.

My daughter was going to get me a small, German chocolate cake (my favorite) for my wedding anniversary if I promised to only eat one small bite a day.

I turned her down because I knew I couldn’t keep the promise. First time I ever turned down GCC, but I’d rather keep my eyesight and toes for as long as I can.

peace to you

No. Like Deacon said if I still have room it means I didn't eat enough during my meal. Olive Garden gives you free breadsticks and salad and I make sure that I take advantage of that.

I usually like to eat something sweet after dinner, but I have something simple, like a small portion of peanut m&ms, for example.

It is very important to have dessert.....after, before, or as a meal. That's how I maintain my figure.

After I got married I figured my wife was stuck with me so I settled into a nice dad-bod, and those desserts sure help.

… and kidneys!

… and kidneys!

Yes, and kidneys.

After being an out of control diabetic for several years, I develop a myriad of health issues I never knew where associated with high blood sugar. Including joint stiffness, various infections, blurred and distorted vision, rashes etc.

I have since managed the blood sugar pretty well. A1C at about 7 for a couple years now. My doctor just recently reduced one med and stopped another to low blood sugar events. (I was dropping into the 60-70 range. Once it was 54. Just a little shaky, I tell you.)

Then I learn the low blood sugar can be fatal.

Oh bother!

I thank God for the treatments and knowledge our doctors have today. A hundred years ago, I already be gone to see the Lord.

peace to you

Where is Benny Hinn, when you need him!

Where is Benny Hinn, when you need him!

I doubt I have enough money to pay Benny Hinn to heal me. I admit though, if I thought it would help, I might have tried. I had a bladder infection once where (…. edit to remove too much info…)

Hinn would probably say, “I heal you in the name of Jesus” and then whisper “now listen to your doctor, take your meds, watch what you eat, and get some exercise”… slap me on the head, speak in tongues, and ask for a donation.

I’d have a headache and still have diabetes.

peace to you

I thought you had to give the donation before he healed you
