Educated beyond his intelligence.
Not all type 2 diabetics are overweight. A1C is not as good an indicator as a 2-hour post meal glucose check is. Also, cholesterol drugs are not as advertised. In fact, these drugs do nothing for people who have never had a heart attack, and probably only benefit those people who are affected by a genetic condition that causes them to have incredibly high levels of cholesterol. These drugs are quite profitable for the manufacturers, however. Over the years, the numbers for various conditions have been changed to say that ever-increasing numbers of people are overweight, have high blood pressure, have high blood sugar, or high cholesterol. It used to be that anything under 240 was considered a normal cholesterollevel.

I am a failure at any kind of fasting. I like Stephanie Laska’s approach. She is the author of Dirty, Lazy, Keto. She lost 140 pounds and has kept it off for 10 years.
We all do what we can. :-)
