Joanne ThomasonDear Joanne and all afflicted with diabetes. SORRY, BUT WRONG IN ALL THAT YOU WROTE! First: diabetes patient must eat ALL the carbohidrates they want or desire... no restrictions... the problem with diabetes is that the INSULIN is not working as a transporter From blood to all the tissues and cells to be burned. You have LOTS of carbohidrates (glucose to be more precise) in your curculatory system (blood0 but this carbohidrates cannopt get to the cells... they send to the brain the order for carbohidrates, and you feel hungry (polyphagia+eat a lot) the carbohidrates in excess in your blood produces a diuretic effect (polyuria+urinate a lot) and as you are dehidrated with this your body asks for water, lots of water (Polydipsia+drink a lot of water or liquids) This three P's are always in diabetes patients... but the problems is not an excess of carbohidrates, the problem is that the insuline is poor in quntity or QUALITY... What means Quality? Just months ago it was discovered that diabetes is NOT AN HEREDITARY disease. Instead, it was discovered that diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body starts to produce antibodies AGAINST your Insuline, not letting the insuline to work (reduced quality of action). You can have enough or a lot of insuline, but this insuline is NOT working. A test in blood looking for INSULINE and looking for antibodies against insuline makes the diagnosis... and you can attack those antibodies with a vaccine that can make your body to accept the insuline as part of the body. With this innovative technique, widely used and proved in Mexico, thousands of patients are free form insuline and hypoglicemic drugs, they are CURED and with glucose blood tests normal. Please ask me if are interested, this theme is really amazing and believe, it is true! -----Original Message----- From: Joanne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2000 10:14 PM To: silver-list Subject: CS>diabetes
Hello Gaston and Robert...
I have type 2 diabetes and have had it for years. My BS has been all over
the place but has settled down to 120 or below regularly I am on glyburide
also 2 tablets a day, one before eating breakfast and dinner. It was not
till I was also placed on Glucophage that I really got control. I take it
after meals, 2 a day or if I feel I have overeaten I take and extra one.
In spite of the fact I have diabetes I still was not taking care of myself
as I should and have eaten more carbs than one should. You know the pills
take care of it and I was under control. (I thought) Beginning Nov, 1 (had
to get rid of the Halloween candy) I gave up all sugar completely. and am
trying to eliminate foods with a high glycemic index.. Interesting info.
from a friend
Foods with high glycemlic index are prone to activate diabetes sooner or
later.
The more you eat them the more you have to eat It is a real addiction.
What happens is that once you take sugar (and any simple carbohydrate)
you'll immediately produce lots of BS. That's not good for you so your body
starts producing lots of insulin in order to get rid of the sugar. The
sugar will be stored in cells and a few minutes after that your BS will be
very low and you will have to eat immediately. The cycle goes on and on.
You'll develop insulin resistance which means you'll need more and more
insulin to get the same result. Eventually no matter how much insulin your
pancreas produces it will not be enough to lower the blood glucose level.
Now you have Diabetes. You have to break the cycle. Stop eating sample
carbohydrates. Fat burning exercises (walking) helps for different reason,
one of them because it lowers insulin resistance.
I have also started walking each day (VERY IMPORTANT) and I feel great
and my blood sugar averages about 100. What does you wife eat.? You really
need to watch the carbs!! It is good you are interested in helping her
control the diabetes but ,and please do not take this in the wrong way, she
also needs to take control and be responsible for her own treatment. I have
since giving up the carbs and walking and it has only been a couple of days
have cut my meds in half.
I hope you can get this under control. I had a foot infection as a result
of it and have eye problems but I have that under control now.
Good luck and best wishes
Joanne
