My father-in-law has Type 2 diabetes, but is on drugs, not yet on insulin (except for his recent time with COVID). He eats pizza, milk, Pepsi, and candy, but won’t eat vegetables. There are no supplements or drugs that can undo such habits. His blood pressure is uncontrolled. So much of this points back to his eating habits and a lack of exercise. It’s been this way for at least a handful of years.
Type 2 diabetes is capable of being put into remission and even reversed. Doctors knew this could be done before the advent of insulin, with a low carb strict diet allowing diabetics to live. Additionally, the American Diabetic Association in the early 2000s admitted low carb diets stopped diabetes cold, but refused to ever encourage such a diet because it was harder than the high carb diet with medicines (which just make you get worse, more slowly).
Please do what you can to minimize your diabetic risk. It is preventable.
Surely, there is an mRNA solution in the wings...
Oh, put Fauci in charge of this effort. He has tons of experience in this sort of thing.
Sounds like 32,000 excess deaths during pandemic due to diabetes, not counting those where diabetes was a contributing factor in coronavirus deaths.
“If we save one life” ignores all other costs.
Demand that SUGAR and CORN SYRUP be removed from food. Corporate America is killing generations.
Bttt

...unless you're type-1...you know...real diabetes.
We obviously need mandated diet and exercise programs on TV every morning and evening so that we can be kept healthy by Big Brother. And you all thought those big screen TVs were just for watching TV................... ..

I wonder if closing gyms, getting drunk and eating GrubHub helped…
They intentionally killed many diabetics by putting them on a ventilator and Remdesivir for COVID.
Yep! The problem is that the Left is forcing us to eat more carbs, since there isn’t much left when you remove fat and protein (meaning meat) from the human diet.
So we’re cornered. The solution is known and understood, but cannot be pushed, as it will lead to more meat consumption and thus destroy the planet, from cows farts.
“Many patients and U.S. lawmakers have expressed outrage at the rising price of insulin, which type 1 diabetes patients must take their entire lives and which is sometimes required to keep type 2 patients’ disease under control.”
See, even the article here gets it wrong. Megadosing insulin does NOT keep the disease under control, it just keeps one SYMPTOM under control, which is blood sugar. All you’ve done is exchange mega-levels of blood sugar for mega-levels of insulin...and I don’t even think anyone has even bothered to study what that does to people.
The school nurse at the school I worked at told me last year our district saw the highest enrollment of kindergarteners with diabetes than ever before - Kindergarteners!
My father-in-law died of a diabetes-induced heart attack- but he wouldn’t take care of himself, eat right or exercise - and continued to drink alcohol up until the end.
How many of these deaths are from people who wouldn’t follow their doctor’s advice about lifestyle changes?
Lose weight is the best thing to do. I lost a significant amount of weight in 7 months and all my numbers improved drastically.
Causation is bilateral. I’m not going to point out the obvious.
If the other parties cannot take responsibility, nothing will change.
I know: My father is one of them.
But even some here would argue that the necessary steps are governmental overreach; I would argue that it’s undoing criminally negligent bureaucratic actions.
@ConservativeMind: In light of your familial experience, you definitely want to keep an eye out for my book.
Stories about excess deaths from everything OTHER THAN (so-called) vaccine injury can be expected, hot and heavy, for the forseeable future.
Cant allow the common folk to realize the ACTUAL reason for the mysterious rise in All Cause Mortality, now can we?
“The article has all sorts of talk about Big Government “help” and “PC” concerns.” That said, diabetes has really taken off.”
Now, that’s a load of truth! Wait until the Karens blockade the hospitals and forbid anyone with diabetes to enter the hospital. Or, better yet, mandate everyone should have a BMI of no more than 23. After all, everybody knows they are like the unvaxxed and should not be treated in hospitals or walk around freely in a “well run” society.
Oh boy!
