In this case, what otherwise seems unhealthy, and appears to have initial support as being unhealthy, is far better than the other indications might otherwise lead one to believe, at least, for blood sugar and insulin concerns.
As a rule, you don’t want the extra weight or inflammation, though, which may happen with your specific insulin response situation.
Total junk, poorly written.
Just what I’ve come to expect from “medicine”.
I note the all-American name, too.
Thanks for the post. I was diagnosed with diabetes last June so I am reading a lot of research. Your statement of
“As a rule, you don’t want the extra weight or inflammation.” Is sensible. I seem to remember that obesity is one cause of inflammation. Am I mistaken in this?
Type 1 diabetics NEED to shoot Insulin. Others, meaning Type 2’s, not so much.
I’ve found is that best option is to have people hook up to a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) and find out for themselves that eating the right foods (i.e., carb-free) will pretty much end the ‘need’ for Insulin. They need to figure it out themselves.
Nothing much in results will come out of this study, unless it increases sales of statins (and their ilk)
There seems to be an idea that our bodies should be “steady state”. It seems more likely that our bodies are in a state of constant flux and trying to push it to be a steady state may be bad for us.
The key is not to eat too many meals throughout the day. At most two meals a day and no snacking.
I have cut about 20 pounds in an effort to shrink my gut. My fighting weight is about 10 pounds lower. I learned recently that fast weight loss can trigger gall bladder issues, as well as stress and age. If I do things well, I expect my stress levels to remain elevated for another year. And I’m not getting any younger. So all the risk factors remain with me.
On sunday I ate too much and got sick to my stomach. Over eating is a consistant pattern for me. However, I did make some culinary mistakes which I won’t repeat. I discovered that apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and gree tea. calmed my stomach considerable. In fact, everything reverted to normal.
A big question for me now is as to whether I can manage my eating so as not to cause me problems if I wanted to avoid the gall bladder operation.
also I need to look with more detail as to how much the loss of a gall bladder will reduce your ability to uptake fat soluable vitamins.
I was recently in the hospital. My A1C number is just barely in the pre-diabetes range (6) so my doc has me on the meds. I’ve lost almost 50 pounds and my cholesterol numbers are great.
In the hospital they said I have out of control cholesterol and am diabetic. I was able to pull up the numbers for the blood test THEY HAD JUST TAKEN and show them that my cholesterol numbers are great and my A1C was a 6 and my glucose was 95.
They argued that because I was on meds for cholesterol and diabetes I MUST be a diabetic with cholesterol problems. My doctor put me on the meds so I WOULDN’T have cholesterol problems or become a diabetic. It didn’t matter...they were going to test my blood sugar every 8 hours and put me on the low cholesterol/diabetic meal plan. It was literally dry fish or chicken, steamed veggies, and pasta with no sauce for dinner.
