RentMen:
What kind of diet and fitness regimen do you follow?
SparkyBaxterXXX:
Living an active lifestyle with type 2 diabetes has been an incredibly tricky. But an important learning experience for me, especially when it comes to making smart choices and prioritizing my health over indulgence. Managing my blood sugar levels with diet and exercise is essential, so I take careful note of my meal portion sizes and try to limit unhealthy snacking. This approach has been effective, as I'm proud to say my A1C is now well under control. My weight does fluctuate but Im the rare skinny diabetic most of the time.
RentMen:
What are your lifestyle specifics that makes who you are?
SparkyBaxterXXX:
My lifestyle is one of unpredictable late nights, spent in deep conversations with friends while we laugh and joke. We create lasting memories as Sparky, the life of the party, with each joke and funny anecdote I give more of myself away. As the night draws on, our laughter slowly begins to die down, and we eventually part ways, making plans to meet up again in a few days.
RentMen:
What would you like your readers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
SparkyBaxterXXX:
I have had the name Sparky since Jr High. I used to be the emo goth kid wearing chains & necklaces, well one of those jewlerys was a damn dog tag that i made at walmart. So I think it just stuck with me through the years
& it grew with me. Im no longer too emo and i hate wearing jewlery.
RentMen:
If we sat on the beach and drank wine and ate great food just you and I, what would you tell me about yourself and your life?
SparkyBaxterXXX:
If we were on Pensacola Beach & eating strawberries or pineapples, I would probably talk about how pineapples take 2 years to grow & each plant only produces 1 fruit. I think that random fact reminds me of how focused and committed a person must been to nurture and watch something grow, even if the pay off isnt great.
