Bush’s fault!! If we had Al Gore as president like on that episode of Family Guy we’d have discovered this with the ultra efficient and enterprising system known as Universal Health Care.

So I CAN eat six boxes of Girl Scout cookies a day?!
My husband has type 2 diabetes. He was taking THREE kinds of pills to lower blood sugar, plus a pill for blood pressure. Then he went to a specialist in Kansas City and they gave him a strict diet. 20 grams of carbs a day max. So he can have all the chicken, steak, spinach, zucchini, asparagus, etc that he wants. Pretty much no rice, flour, candy, cake, sugar, pie, wheat, pasta, etc. His blood sugar dropped to normal in 24 hours WITHOUT the pills to lower the blood sugar. I can see that it could be a digestive problem. I am going to look into this. Like his body isn’t digesting things right. he is 57, active, and VERY thin.
Just dang. The more we know about the design of these things we occupy called the human body, the more complicated they seem. It’s pretty cool, really.
Gee it would be great if this would work for my husband. Right now no nachos, no tacos, no homemade bread, no biscuits. Our diet is VERY limited.
Be worth discovering if these substances interfere with the chemistry at the upper end in some way.
I can usually lower my blood sugar to normal levels through the simple expedient of eating only nuts, cheese, meat and yoghurt for a week or so. Doesn't bother me a bit either.

But...but...this can’t be! Healthcare in this country is deteriorating, greedy drug companies and doctors...
BTW I'm going to have gallbladder surgery for my gallstones. Will have more details next week.
.......Type 2 diabetes, which accounts for 90 to 95 percent of all cases of diabetes, is a growing epidemic .......
The growth is in large part a function of revised diagnosis thresholds. At one time as recent as perhaps 2000 the fating blood sugar level was the threshold. At some time after that the level was reduced to 126.
That is 140 - 126 = 14. 14/140 = 0.10, or 10%. I had a chance to ask a major diabetes researcher on a radio conference call, why the reduction, why 10% not 9 or 12. He told me it was an arbitrary reduction.

I had gastric bypass which removes part of the upper intestine. I was insulin Type 2 diabetic. I haven’t used insulin or anything for 5 years come May of this year. I always fear it will come back, but last HBA1C was below 6 (non-diabetic).
Interesting.

As a Type 2 diabetic, I find this encouraging. What we don’t know about the human body is only rivaled by what we don’t know about the environment we live in.
Yet there are those who would tell us what not to eat and that CO2 a natural by product of life itself is a pollutant. But I am not worried. When the second coming, Obama, the second coming, becomes President, the sky will open. Evil will be banished, our environment will become pristine and angels will carry us all to the promised land.
