Actually me and the guy ahead of me, and letting lazy bones have the first day shift spot. We could both take it, but it's not the rotation either of us want. I really like the boss, but my fishing buddy is on the other rotation. Big boss said I'd get that on nights for now, and get his rotation on days when the other guys are done training. So I'm staying.

That's one of the good parts, he doesn't want that shift, but if he turns it down he'll lose day shift! He knows that boss will not let him take long breaks, or stand around and do nothing. Motor mouth is stuck on nights, he won't like it.

Thanks! This is a new level of excitement for me! When I worked at law firms they never cared to move you around or promote change or growth unless they wanted it. It's exciting WF promotes it and I don't hit my year mark until April!

I got the diabetes part, I’m sure your doctor told you what foods to stay away from to stave off of that. Now, I’m going to get nerdy, most basic foods have natural sugars, even potatoes. You just tell me what kind of information you need going forward. Be glad to help.

One easy rule of thumb: when you're deciding which starches (rice, wheat, corn, potatoes, etc.) are OK, just don't eat white food. No sugar, no white flour, no white rice, no white potatoes. Take it one step further: don't eat anything that comes from a box or requires you to shout into a microphone in the drive-through. Ignore Joe with his endless love for crap-in-a-box cereal. (I love Joe, but I have no idea how he is alive with what he eats.)

Cook from scratch at home. Minimize baked foods like biscuits, bread, cake, which are generally simple carbs. (Sneak in some cornbread; I won't tell.) Instead, load up on cooked and raw veggies, which are generally complex carbs: snap peas, green beans, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, spinach, kale (yuck), corn on the cob up to a point. You want to eat food that your body has to work to digest (= complex carbs), instead of that straight-shot-to-your-bloodstream stuff like cinnamon buns and other "white stuff" food (= simple carbs.)

I'm flirting with a pre-diabetes diagnosis courtesy of fasting blood glucose of 108, although my HgbA1C is still OK, and I just got preached at by my doc this morning, lol. So I'm rooting for you! I don't want to go on metformin either. Poopies or no poopies. I know that at this point, I can control this and improve my health, and I will.

Agree with you wholeheartedly. Process foods, especially fast food (that’s what they are now), will kill you.

I work nights and eat before bed (usually leftovers with little carbs and no sugar) my wake up blood sugar is usually high - that's what I'm not understanding (by high I mean around a 145 avg ) Any suggestions ?

For one thing, that has more to do with your age and how your body metabolizes the things you eat, even if you are cutting the carbs and sugar as you say, Are you eating out at all, I even mean, picking up anything from convenient stores? and no one should eat before they go to bed. That’s when our bodies slow, no matter what time of day.
