Chicken with Citrus Gremolata
When it comes to diabetes, I think it’s important to be part of the conversation; to be well-informed.
Have you been to the doctor lately and been told you’re prediabetic? I’m lucky. I have not. I’ve been to the doctor but my blood sugar remains in the normal range. I took control of my carbohydrate intake when I designed Plan Z, and got out of the nightmare of diabetes. Knock on wood, I’ll stay there.
So many are not as lucky as me. And getting a diagnosis that says “you’re on your way to diabetes” can be scary. So can a diagnosis that says your cholesterol is too high and you need meds. Or the bad news that says your insurance premium is going up because the insurance company decided you’re too fat and you don’t fit in their parameters.
The numbers by which we are “rated” for several diseases, and even things like insurance premiums, are being adjusted regularly; right under our noses. Most people don’t think they can do anything about it. They just follow doctor’s orders without doing any research about what’s going on behind the scenes.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t want anyone to play roulette with their health and doctors are doing their best. It’s the machine behind the system that needs scrutiny.
