Pittsburg, Kansas | Sounds like a good idea. Pretty much where we are at also. I just want to have some knowledge about it and know some alternatives or additions to standard therapy so not being blindsided if one of us ever gets cancer. I have a lot of respect for the medical system (both of our lives have been saved by it) yet have become also skeptical of it always being in the best interest of the patient or being know all or all they claim to know. I no longer will put blind trust in them.
With me being diagnosed diabetic almost 40 years now, the blood sugar has been a challenge. And my fasting blood sugar is still not where I would like it to be. But by staying very low carb for almost 6 years now my after meal glucose is excellent for a diabetic and my last A1c was 5.8 being in the pre-diabetic range. So worlds better than it used to be at 6.9-7.0 which my doctor back then thought was fantastic control when I was on insulin shots. An A1c of 5 or less would be lots better though. The medical system focuses only on blood sugar for diabetes control success. My opinion is blood sugar is very important, but continuous high levels of insulin is also deleterious to health and may be just as much if not more damaging than high glucose. Insulin is a growth hormone primarily. Cancer tumors love to grow. Type II diabetics have loads of excess insulin. My last insulin assay was around 6, which is very good. I am pretty happy about that with the blood sugar control I get without prescription medication or insulin shots. |
