It should not be legal for fats to be chefs So I had a panic attack this week.  For those that don't know I'm a T2 diabetic, yes, not all of us are fat. I keep my sugars under control through a strict diet, exercise, and vigilant monitoring.  I'm out to dinner this week with a supplier, benchmark my glucose at 83mg/dl before the meal... normal fasting.  The dish I ordered was a pretty simple chicken dish with veggies and some sauce.  I planned to have half of it, but I didn't like the way the sauce tasted/felt.  One bite and I was pretty convinced it was loaded with sugar which is a panic trigger for me, so I called over the waiter and asked, he went back, came out and said, no the sauce didn't really have much sugar. I should have made him bring out the chef, but I'm with a supplier, and I don't want to make a scene, so I divided the dish up, and change plans to only eat a third of it.  My blood sugar goes up by about 1.5mg/dl per carb consumed, and I try and keep it <140mg/dl, so even if the dish had 115g of carbs (more than a starbeetus drink), I'll be ok with eating one third. I finished maybe a quarter because I could just tell the sauce was loaded, and it was stressing me out, and tried to put it out of my mind.  Meeting with the supplier went well, we're looking to source some new sensor PCBs, and I need a good supplier who can help me get the cost down.  We're building a new device to help kids track their blood sugar and activity, and I want this to be coverable by medicare/medicaid so we can help kids in disadvantaged socioeconomic groups.  Because government healthcare ought to help children, not pay for fats. An hour after dinner my timer goes off, and I check my sugars, this is part of my routine, and part of being a responsible T2.  I stab myself, draw some blood and read. 211mg/dl I haven't been above 140 in over a year, I am very strict.  But worse, I can use this number to calculate what was in the meal.  See part of my T2 is I don't have an upper bookend on my blood sugar like you do.  If you eat too many carbs, your body buffers it down, and keeps you safe.  For me, I have to restrict intake to what I can handle and process.  My response is roughly linear, with a 1.5mg/dl rise at 60-90m post meal per gram of accessible carbohydrate. This means in the 1/4 of the dish I ate, there were 85 fucking grams of carbs.  So the whole dish?  341g of carbs.  341!!! WHAT THE FUCK. Had I eaten the whole thing, I'd likely been in the hospital in a coma, facing death. For perspective, when doctors administer an oral glucose tolerance test, designed to stress your system, it contains only 75g of carbs. At 4kcal per gram carb, that means the sauce of this shit had 1,364kcal. I am obviously furious.  My supplier knows I am diabetic and business is helping diabetic kids, so I take a chance, and deal with the situation.  I demand the chef come out. Out waddles Jupiter, a fat fucking ex-human who comes to the table.  One of its eyes is droopy, so yeah, HAES motherfucker probably has had a stroke due to its fat.  I demand to know what the hell is going on and why it thinks it is fucking necessary to put 12 fucking ounces of sugar in one serving of sauce.  It just looks at me dully and says "No, there isn't much sugar, I just add enough to thicken it". I take out my glucometer and test again, showing it the result.  208mg/dl right now (that's just random sampling error, btw).  The fat fuck chuckles and says "No, that's just normal, I'm always about 250 and I don't even have diabetes!" I lost my shit.  Called over the manager.  Our meal was free, but I demanded the fat be fired for its behavior.  I'm sad to say the manager didn't fire that shit on the spot, but instead said "Most of our clients like his cooking" I wanted to push the point, but highs need addressing, so I had to apologize to my supplier, drive back to my hotel, deck out in running gear and pound pavement.  5k later, I had myself down into the 70s again, so crisis averted, but I definitely did some damage while in that range. Fucking FATS.  What that little shitstain did should be fucking illegal.  That is unsafe for anyone, especially diabetics.  If a type 1 ate at his fucking store he could end up dead.  I reported them to the health department later, but they said there wasn't any evidence someone had violated the law or health codes. FUCK FATS.
