Well! You obviously don't eat properly! Change that and you can get
rid of your diabetes!


If only Chard had eaten a species-appropriate diet of raw meat and
scavenged vegetable matter, s/he would not have developed Teh Di-beetus.
Or something.

The Paleo Diet is a way of eating in the modern age that best mimics the
nutrition of our evolutionary and genetic heritage - the ancestral,
Paleolithic diet. For millions of years our hunter-gatherer ancestors
ate combinations of lean meat, seafood, plants, fruit, and nuts. But
today in America, more than 70% of our dietary calories come from foods
that our Paleolithic (Stone Age) ancestors rarely if ever ate ... and
that modern humans are not genetically adapted to eat. The result is
epidemic levels of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity,
osteoporosis, arthritis, acne, gastrointestinal disease, and more.

Since I've been restricting carbs I've lost 30 lbs and glucose levels
are now normal most of the time and I've been able to reduce my meds as
well.


So sorry for your loss and that you had to make the decision. Also,
sorry for all the people hijacking your thread. I recently had to put
to sleep my 16.5 yr old miniature poodle.
