If only it were that simple for everyone.
I’m slender and in great physical condition. I get a lot of exercise and don’t eat carbs apart from some green vegetables. I don’t drink or smoke. I get plenty of sleep and live a very healthy life in the country with clean air and water. But the bloodwork still looks bad. Go figure.
I'm no medical expert, but I think my cardiologist would beg to differ."

I've found most MDs know very little about diets (what people should eat). Most of their training is in diagnosis and surgery. So over the past several years I've learned about nutrition, focusing on real science: what is biologically true. Recommend reading Dr Eades' Protein Power, as a start.
In a new study, just announced by North Korea's Institute of Gulag Health, it was found that severe food restricted diets, occasionally resulting in a mortality increase, had a pronounced affect on patients with both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Patients were found to recover from diabetes 100% in those cases where patients simultaneously had a 100% mortality event.
Actually, my cardiologist sent me to a dietitian with particular experience in diabetes. The program she developed for me addresses diabetes, plus heart and kidney issues. There is a correlation between diabetes and heart and kidney disease.
By the way, excessive protein in the diet can contribute to kidney damage. So be careful.
Very encouraging, thanks!
Good question. I ping to neverdem because I know he (she?) was always interested in diabetes posts. Is there a Freeper who is the go-to person for diabetes news?
Difficult? That’s putting it mildly. Extreme hunger is painful and I guarantee anyone who is consuming only 600 calories a day is in starvation mode.
I doubt that it cures diabetes anyway. It may put it in remission for a while, but for many people that is all gastric bypass does. If one is diabetic, it is a lifelong condition. It can be managed (perhaps) but it can’t be cured. As we age, the condition will worsen no matter what one does, just as every system in our bodies eventually breaks down. For diabetics, the pancreas goes faster than the other organs.
