As trim as can be, I have been, though love of rich cake is my sin, with lots of whipped cream and pudding between! But still, I was healthy and thin. This week came the shocking report; a verdict from medical 'court'... pre-diabetic... now that's pathetic! All signs of this surely fell short! That nasty invader in cake, 'sir sugar' did catch up and take my sweet joy away! Oh, unhappy day... forgetting cake now for health's sake! Sandra M. Haight Note: This is true...

OH, I am so sorry Gosh with all the tests i am having done, i am wondering if they will be telling me i am diabetic next. I am not a sugar fiend, though i indulge now and then. My hubbie has been pre-diabetic for several years now. He has not changed his eating habits at all and is still borderline diabetic. how he stays out of trouble, i just don't get it!!

Yes, Andrea...this came out of the blue for me! I exaggerated quite a bit for the sake of my poem, but I do not overdue on the sugar much, but I do love carbs like pasta and bread more which turns to sugar. Hope this is not in any of your test results. Your hubby is lucky! Thanks for the visit. Hugs, Sandra

It is a curse, Sandra, that men like spicy and women like sweet. So unfair. I hope you keep well, and maybe one day soon wreak revenge on cake. Leave not a crumb. Viv x

Exercise is the key. Start taking a morning walk everyday and before you know it, you'll be eating cake again. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis but it is a good thing to find out now rather than later, the hard way. The poem is nice too! Take care Mrs Sandra.

It is so hard to give up sugar. It is in almost everything Sandra. I do pretty good, then I fall off the wagon. I could relate and I enjoyed your poem. ; )

Thank you, Connie. I was so surprised since I do try to eat healthy foods most of the time and there is no history on my side of the family. But, like you said, there is sugar in just about everything! Thanks for the visit and encouragement! Hugs, Sandra
