Diabetics Mortality. February 16, 2017

"Always remember that during an infection mild diabetes became more severe. Therefore, during an infection be ready to begin insulin, if your doctor advises it, or alert to the need for increasing the dose if you are already taking it."
(A Diabetic Manual For The Mutual Use of Doctors and Patients by Elliot P. Joslin, M.D.
Seventh edition by Lea & Febiger. 1941)

      This is Diabetes Manual  to use by doctors and diabetics. Dr. Joslin suggest that diabetes can be controlled, and ether complications nether Death can be successfully avoided with diet, exercise ..... and INSULIN. Time passed. In 2002 I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2, insulin resistant type of diabetes, and ... only in 2011 I took my first insulin shot. Needless to say, it was not doctor who Rx insulin for me. I was his patient almost ten years, and all my treatment was the same during all those years, regardless of infection, heart rate, clots in blood, high BP, very high level of cholesterol, above 900, and the level of sugar in blood. It was all the same, just 2000 mg of Metformin, 10 mg of Glipizide, and ... no one reading I do have high BP. So I did not need ether BP medicine nether Nitrostat.
     OK, it is past and it is better to leave it behind.Still, then more I read then more I surprised, how right my man was. He told me, I am my own doctor. I did not want to accept it. I better do. Now I read, Dr. Joslin suggest, we have to be own nurse and educators, and many other pro, but... now doctors. Why? Really, why? Simple, if I am my own doctor then what is the reson to go to his office? To be educated how to eat? To listen that I do eat too much and this is why I do have diabetes? Thanks a lot! I better to find doctor who Rx insulin, and in case of Flu season I do have it in my frig to increase the dose to be safe from infection and any complications.

"Treatment, however , rests in the hands of the patient. It is by diet as well as by insulin and the patients with the will to win and who know the most, conditions being equal, can live the longest."

    Easy to understand, difficult to follow. In present time we are, type 2 diabetics, and no longer diabetics who need insulin. So, there is no Rx to insulin, even I insist, I have to take it, mu life depend on insulin.
      There is huge hysteria around diabetes type 2. There are publications, how diabetes increased in numbers. More and more diabetic counted every year, why? The answer is simple, obesity. But the reality is different.
Between 1898 and 1914 average age at death was 44.5 years.
Between 1914 and 1922 average age at death was 46.7 years.
After 1922, the time of insulin discovery, the average age at death was 64.8 years.
Now the simple look at the life expectancy, how many diabetics suppose to be in 2017? As I calculated right now with my weight 380 pounds and diabetes I expected to live another 15 years. So, how many diabetics would be in US fifteen years after now? I was born with diabetes,  and only in 2011 at age of 60 I got my first insulin injection.
       This is the point about all that hysteria around our body shape, obesity, and diabetes. As Dr. Joslin published, diabetics should not die timelessly. With proper care and INSULIN we can live well and sound. It is not the case in present days in US. Insulin replaced by Barking Therapy and Trash Medicine, and we die, painfully and timelessly.
       It is interesting to read professional publications in past, how discipline developed, how treatment of diabetes shaped. Stay connected.
       I tried to find this books for so long. All the time when I see publications on-line it is all about diet, and no one really understand what each of them talking about. I see that every one just copy & paste, and this is why one post after another, one article after another, and it looks like it is one hands mastered all. It is the same when I read different authors in the same time in past. But with look at the different perspective, from present to past rater then from one author to another, the picture is absolutely different.
      Many times I posted that why do not place us, type 2 diabetic in prison if every one sees us as criminals? Reading back in past there were wards in hospitals, and diabetic were treated with Starvation Diet. No one survived. Now ADA suggest that if we take Starvation Diet we can reverse diabetes. Do they know the history of diabetes treatment development? They suppose to know it. They do not.
     Another surprise for me was, that I suggested to treat us with Arsenic. In this case there would not be diabetics, right? So society can safe money. What surprise I got when I read that doctors used Arsenic as Treatment for Diabetics both types of it, type 1, children, and type 2, adults. No one survived.
       Of cause Opii know from far to the past. Was very widely used in treatment of diabetics. Usually diabetic had to take both medicine, so it is difficult to say, patient did not survive because of Arsenic, or Opii, or diabetes. Many were presented that they were cured. Why? Because of there were no computers to count and records keeping.
