Type 2 Diabetes and physical ?

To avoid gaining weight when you start driving, you need to eat less than you eat now. You will be doing less work, but food will be available every time you stop.

 

Im one of those that require 4 complete meals in the dead of winter, when lumping trailers two times a day.

But if I did that now at home where I am it's going to make me dead of obesity related issues and they will have to remove this wall to get the body out.

So I eat very little. I know the human body has a need of nutrition, 1000 calories and fluids of good kind and whatever is missing from your full blood panel you fill with a bottle of vitamin. In my case I require B1. Without it I cannot get out of bed. That is because I cannot source food well with B1 in it at the costs retail today. (I am working on it.) I get a blood panel twice a year and that should tell you if your diet is well or not.

IF you are fit and an do the work and have no trouble then, this is not for you.

IF you are heavy and have issues? Well let's work on those issues before complications drop you. Lord knows we have some big boys here in the south and they will out live me. But for some Food is a drug to cover some other pain. Maybe the road hurts too much and they gulp red potatoes until a haze comes over them.

It's going to cost them.

You don't need much to drive well every day. But when you have enough and no more than that you will do very well driving a big rig. ONCE in a while for morale purposes you can square away a big meal with family at home or some such. Good memories will sustain you next week when you are in the west and things are not going well.

 

5.2 is great... congrats!
Don't say anything.
Find a Chiropractor who does DOT physicals. You're better off. Medicine Men Doctors search for excuses to make money off you. Don't let them.
My last A1C was 5.9. When I started OTR. I flaked out. Stupid things like drinking hot chocolate. My A1C went up to 8.9. Then buckled down.
If you want a great healthy program. Look up Dr. Carolyn Dean and RnA Reset. I'm convinced that lack of minerals are our biggest health problem. Get on her Reset. You will feel good. You won't feel hungry. You'll feel like eating less. Weight will just drop off you. That system has done for me what I couldn't do running from 30 to 70 miles a week.

 

Just don’t mention it. Just like I won’t mention I’m on high BP medication to the DOT doctor. Will always get my 2 year card. Although losing weight and eating will help.

 

Also had a buddy mark down he snored, they wanted to send him to a sleep study. He screwed himself because if I’m correct, everything has to match up to the previous form, if you go to 6 different DOT doctors.
