Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Most folks here know I am long winded, but I will briefly talk about a new finding for me. I am a research scientist. I am a formerly type2 diabetic. My C-peptide test a couple or three years ago stated clearly my pancreas no longer produces enough insulin to make it worth while mentioning. In other words I am now an insulin dependent diabetic no matter how one cuts it. Yes, I am still a diabetic whether I am called a type2, a type1.5 or a type 1, I still have diabetes. I wish I didn't, but it is what it is. I shared my article Diabetic Doater with the members here, and in it I warned about the cause of practically all diabetic complications like, blindness, vision loss, amputations, heart problems and kidney problems. The focus of this article was to prevent the high glr readings one gets, and some here as well as me may have tried my recommendations with success or with lots of low sugar readings, since I was plagued with them quite often two or three times each week. I still maintain glr spikes, high blood glucose readings are a primary cause of diabetic complications. Read me clearly here. high blood glucose readings or spikes in one's glr is the primary cause of diabetic complications. No matter what kind of diabetic you are a type 1, a type 1.5 or a type 2 This statement still holds true. I would try any thing to keep my A1C in the normal range 4.2-5.2, which I did for several years. My indocrinologist, Dr. Welch as well as my wife were totally against having any low sugar reactions, which they defined as a glr lower than 70. In the past almost year I have only had one which was a 68 or 69, I for get which, brainn damage you know is the cause, since my indocrinologist equates a low glr as being the same as a stroke. Of course I differ with her on this point, since I have had at least two minor strokes as well as three heart attacks, and a low glr feels nothing like a stroke. So I gave up trying to achieve the normal person, the non-diabetic, A1C readings. It now runs much higher. Yes, I would try any thing to avoid those glr spikes. You name it: exercise, diet, low carbs, low fat, high fat, prayers, meditations, various supplements, cursing, and even sex. None of them worked. I started taking a new supplement three or four weeks ago, and damned if it doesn't work or at least I think so. In the past a single gram of carbohydrate would raise my glr 5.5-6.0 from the present glr provided I took no insulin. After taking this new supplement for four or five days, I figured it was another dud! So today three weeks later I put it to the test, and it passed. I like to play games, so if you can get within 10 points of my results from a starting point of glr 135, I will tell you the name of this new supplement. Or you can just send me $50, and I will tell you its name and how to get itI took 25 grams of carbs and two hours later my glr was..... Harry. So lets play.
