My Hopes For Us In 2019

My Hopes For Us In 2019 

Lots of happiness and health - which of course is a given - and boatloads of tenacity to boot!

The ability and strength to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and get back up whenever we fall - and the doggedness to try again until we succeed. 

Having more things to laugh out loud about and less things to cry about when it comes to our lives and our lives with diabetes. 

To continue becoming the person we truly are and were always meant to be - before self doubt crept in and veered us off path - and super power navigation skills accompanied by strong winds for our sails, to get us back on course. 

Strong inner strength to plow through all the crap that gets in our way on our path to becoming that person.

Being more successful than we were the previous year - and in all dimensions, while helping others to do the same. 

Having the strength to continue advocating for diabetes (and anything and everything else we are passionate about,) and to be the change that we wish to see. 

The ability to turn our self doubts into tools of self empowerment. 

Taking the lead with our diabetes more often than our diabetes takes the lead with us. 

To say yes to the things we fear and wish for!

For each of us to continue to grow and learn from our mistakes, while being grateful for the lessons learned. 

Politicians who grow spines and stop acting like spoiled brats - enough is enough and we deserve better! 

No pre-existing conditions clauses and health care insurance caps - EVER.

An end to sky rocketing health insurance costs including medications!

Speaking of life saving medications, lower insulin prices and #insullin4all become the reality and the norm in 2019, because people in the United States and around the globe shouldn’t have to die because they can’t afford insulin.

A New Year Resolution 2019. December 31, 2018

        I started to read old books by med pro. My goal to find out what is diabetes type 2, how it is different from type 1, and how it is diagnosed when which one. MD diagnose type of diabetes. Does MD understand what type of diabetes patient is? How? There is no one mark to diagnose type of diabetes. Only personal opinion of MD. MD does not want any hard time. So, every one diagnose type 2 if patient with high sugar come to clinic. It is said that type 1 diagnosed in hospital, and type 2 diagnosed in clinic. Because of usually we go to clinic and very rare we go to hospital, so diagnose of diabetes type 2 is 95% out of all diabetic population. So simple.
       What also I found it is opinion that diabetes type 2 is in those  diabetics who overfed. Even more then that, it is presented that diabetics type 2 are those who eat continuously. Needless to say, general public trust in doctors with own health and well being. Why they will not trust in anything what doctor said about others? He or she is Doctor, he knows. This is how myth the cause of diabetes type 2 was created. As early as Dr. E. P. Joslin, one of the first and very prominent doctor who practiced in treatment of diabetes during all his medical practice, present that 2/3 time patient spend with doctor they discuss diet, what diabetic eat. More then half of book, any book how to treat diabetes is diet, food substitute, and so so on.
     With every year, in spite of perfect treatment which today available to treat diabetes, diabetes is number 7 cause of death in America. Over 80 000 Americans die every years due to diabetes. More them 200 000 American Diabetics die every year due to all cause of Death. It is widely presented that obesity to blame, overeating and continuous eating. Doctors in clinic use to educate diabetic with every visit what to eat and that diabetic must lose weight. I named this treatment Grave Therapy.
     To see if this work or not every one may do simple test. Let us do it. Take blood sugar reading and take meal you do going to eat today. Put all on paper. Check up your readings. Next day take the same meal, and take the meal at the same time. Take readings at the same time. Are readings the same? I am sure readings are different. There is no one continuous readings with very the same life style day after day. It does not matter if it is healthy eating or not. Level of sugar must be the same if it is true that eating, proper diet will fix the problem with deficit of insulin. Nothing work in this way. This is why no one drug work.
     Any drug is fixed in dose. Level of sugar in constant drift from high to low and from low to high. If we take the same meal every day, day after day and level of sugar readings, they must be about the same. But if reading is not the same this means that diet does not effect treatment and problem cannot be fixed with diet.
     It is very different with insulin. Dose of insulin is not fixed. It is easy to be titrated. So, if reading is high then it is better to add  a few units. If reading is low then a few units can be taken off fron dose. In this case we follow constantly changing readings and try to keep level of sugar in continuous normal range.
     Any attempt to add another variables complicate treatment. So, attempt to effect readings with diet destroy regular path of life, but still do not fix the problem. This is why, in spite of all attempt to lose weight and get reading back to normal, fail. Weight go down for short time, and then return with some extra pounds.
     In every medical papers it is all the time said: we assumed that.... but resent study shoe different results, so no we assume that .... . It is in every paper or publication. Now there is the question, is insulin really work in the way it is presented by medical papers? It is the fact that when diabetic ill or sick with flu, level of sugar rises. Rainy weather or sunny day effect reading on diabetic meter. Students exams effect diabetics readings. Why? Do they eat differently? No. So the effect of our life is higher then only meal consumption. If diabetic work in some places with high stress or high responsibility to others, diabetic need more insulin in secretion, and so diabetic's panaceas cannot provide it. Diabetic collect pounds because of it is only way to survive and get nutrition body system needs to function.
    It is all the time easy to see to whom to blame. It is difficult to see own dirty work.

Diabetes: New drug cocktail effective for both types of diabetess, type 1 and type 2. December 31, 2018

According to Dr. Stewart, none of the diabetes drugs currently on the market can induce beta cell regeneration in people with diabetes. In parallel with the Mount Sinai work, other researchers are studying pancreatic transplantation, beta cell transplantation, and stem cell replacement of beta cells for people with diabetes, but none of these approaches is in widespread use.
 Diabetes: New drug cocktail increases human beta cell proliferation at rapid rates
 by The Mount Sinai Hospital / Mount Sinai School of Medicine
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181220111759.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fhealth_medicine%2Fdiabetes+%28Diabetes+News+--+ScienceDaily%29

            Very promising introduction. When this simple true was discovered? Yesterday? Not at all. It is well known from the first time when any drug was introduced to the market. But money do not smell. Combined with Grave Therapy, most effective weight loss life style modification, this was very well known to everyone, Med. Pro or Diabetic patients. So, now what? Another junk for us to be trusted? Thanks a lot! Personally I lost trust in doctors long time ago. Still, it is well to know, No One Drug on market work!!! Let us remember that. A little bit more time and most effective treatment which send to Grave 80 000 Americans every year would be also presented that it does not treat potentially fatal disease but kill innocent people who happened to be born with impaired insulin secretion.

 Approximately 30 million people in the United States have diabetes and nearly 50 to 80 million more are living with prediabetes (also called "metabolic syndrome").

         What is "metabolic syndrome"?  It is combination of elevated level of sugar in blood, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. Now, what is diabetes? It is elevated level of sugar. But there is gap between Diabetes and normal healthy level of sugar. In other words, blood sugar is already elevated but our medical pro still need higher development of disease. Why treat flu if there is pneumonia may be followed? More virus more money on medical bills. Every one do know this.
       When there is no insulin secretion and person cannot even move what treatment for patient? Grave Therapy.  Go home and lose weight. 80 000 Americans every year effectively use this medical treatment and increase production of ashes in  of funeral homes.

Loss of insulin-producing beta cells has long been recognized as a cause of type 1 diabetes, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys beta cells. In recent years, researchers have concluded that a deficiency of functioning beta cells is also an important contributor to type 2 diabetes, the most common type that occurs in adults. Thus, developing drugs that can increase the number of healthy beta cells is a major priority in diabetes research.

          It still unclear for me, would be a new drug for type 2 diabetics, or for both types of diabetes? As I do remember so far all drugs are developed to be used by only one group of diabetics, type 2, 95% of diabetic population. If I got this correctly, in recent years finally it was discovered that the same as in type 1 such in type 2 function of insulin secreting Beta Cells are impaired. A little bit more time and fiction about the idea that diabetes type 1 is autoimmune disorder and diabetes type 2 is obesity disorder finally would be blown away. Really, how does it looks like when immune system attack own beta cells? No one reasonable evidence or prove of it. But the point that in both types of diabetes insulin level is limited known very well. So, why do not start to treat diabetes type 2 as soon as level of sugar was detected above normal range with insulin rather then with Grave Therapy? We are not criminals. We are the same as every one human being. We just happened to be born diabetics.

"Since these drugs have effects on other organs in the body, we now need to develop methods to deliver these drugs specifically to the beta cell in humans," said Dr. Stewart. "We have the packages to deliver, but now we need a courier system to deliver them to the exact beta cell address."

There are many people who have packages they happy to deliver to my home. This is why we do have security in our housing and lack on doors into buildings and into our homes. If someone has something one does not need it does not mean that I have to open my door to take this package. Personally, I am happy with insulin. Why do not start to study how to use it? Ask any MD, primary or endo, and what they do know about insulin and how to dose it? Nothing. They are happy to Rx Grave Therapy. At least they follow standard protocol. With insulin it is different. Too much responsibility. No ant doubt, drug cocktail is better. At least it will take time till Med Pro would finally admit, this cocktail does not heal but effectively kill millions of us.

"Beta cell regeneration is a 'holy grail' for the treatment of diabetes," said Peng Wang, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Blood Disease) at Mount Sinai and first author on the study. "We are excited to finally have drugs that can induce beta cell proliferation at rates that are likely to be effective in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes."

     Great!!!!!!!!!!!!! You see, both types of diabetes can be treated with the same type of medicine, regardless it is drug cocktail or Insulin. So, do not pretend to treat me with any Junk Medicine such as Invocana or Metformin. Just give me Insulin, Lantus Solo Star, and I will be happy with all my 400 pounds.

Diabetes Understanding in 1979 by Medical Pro. Post 1. December 30. 2018

National Institute of Health (1979) identifies Diabetes Mellitus different subgroups:
Idiopathic DM
gestational DM
impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
IGT was identified as
Insulin dependent (IDDM)
and Non Insulin Dependent (NIDDM).
NIDDM as overweight with pancreatic insulin deficiency and resistance to insulin action of peripheral tissue such as muscle, liver and adipose (fat) tissue.
     This was the beginning of a new era in diabetes treatment and understanding. The studies were done how insulin work in human body. At first it was identified the minimum of insulin which body needs to function. How was this task solved? With many assumption without any prove or mark or tests.
      The group of healthy individuals were tested for insulin secretion rate. The glucose load was consumed. Test for C Peptide was take. Then it was calculated that estimated hepatic insulin retention was about 70%. After that some calculations, and conclusion was that "liver serves in healthy man to protect peripheral tissue from extreme  fluctuation blood glucose."Really?
     With conclusions like that it is very obvious where type 2 diabetes idea come from. Does some people overweight? Yes, they are. So, they are second class, second type of American population. Those who are fit first class, type 1 American population. In reason to fit into this theory at first our medical complex created standards to avoid or to delay diagnose in diabetes. If level of sugar would be Vital then this theory will fail. Many perfectly fit individuals would have abnormal elevated level of sugar in blood. But if assume that diabetics when it is not treated or treated with Junk Medicine would eventually gain weight, then it is just time and theory would proved. All diagnosed diabetics type 2 are overweight.
     Simple and Brilliant.
      As I said before, book is 860 pages. Does someone think they read it? I do not think so. Why do I read? I try to find out the idea type 2 diabetes come from where? How it is started that diabetics lost right to be treated with insulin, only medicine in present time which can control even very high numbers, and can perfectly cure when diabetes just in first stage of development? How it is presented that one is type 1 and another is type 2?
     As it is said above, Non Insulin Dependent type of Diabetes Melitus is  "pancreatic insulin deficiency". How this diabetes can be effectively treated without insulin? Do not ask why diabetes, 90 years after insulin discovery is number 7 cause of Death in America. As 100 years ago this potentially fatal disease treated without proper medicine, with abuse and pretension that diabetics continuously eating. They do have no prove of that. They cannot even say, how resistance to insulin to find out. But they assumed so, and they said so. Now all America talk about diet, spend millions of on diet, and getting wider and fatter with every attempt to fit into formula perfect fit according to standards 1850.
     There are only one question left. Why it is 1850? Take as Perfect Standard 1290 and no one of those who pretend to live healthy and eat right will fit in it. At least in there 90ths.

Diabetes Understanding in 1979 by Medical Pro. Post 1. December 30. 2018

I take a book edited by Warner K.Waldhausl "Diabetes 1979". Excerpta Medica . International congress series 500. 865 pages written by medical pro for medical pro. I hope it is understandable I do not read all book, and .... is this true they someone read it all? I just take what is interesting for me.
 "Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus: pathophysological aspects and state of the art"
by W.K. Waldhausl.
      In his lecture author present types of diabetes, and studies which were done. Very interesting point. Studies were done for normal non diabetic man (women). It must be looks like it is normal not pathological way of metabolism and glucose utilization. The problem is, who eat glucose in normal life? we all do eat something sweet. We eat cherries and cookies. What is obvious for me, not medical pro or scientist that metabolism of cookies and cherries are different. The same as metabolism of chicken and bread, pork and beef. Why in studies it is taken glucose load? No one diabetic or not eat glucose.
      It is normal GTT. All studies abnormally conducted and then  result presented as it is actual result how human body works. Really?
     All the time I do have the same question. Why when diagnose of diabetes must be confirmed it is GTT must be conducted. Hungry diabetic come to lab, and there is test  after load of glucose. How diabetic react on the glucose load. Why do not start to diagnose diabetes according to the highest level of sugar in blood? Patient come to testing in clinical setting. At first one has good dinner, usual meal one normally eat, such as soup, meat with sides, salads, and desert. Level of sugar taken before meal, right after meal and then every 30 min till sugar is getting up, and then down. Time of when sugar started to rise, the highest level of raised sugar, and how long it dropped down to the normal level or even down to see how long it takes to get lowest level of sugar.
      Because of this test is time consuming it is very reasonable take in hospital or in ED where beds are available and patient can be comfortable. all tests with glucose load are not natural, so they are not present real diabetes understanding.
     
      There is another test. How many units of insulin needed to cover basil needs in case of absolute insulin deficiency? This test is for what? I do understand we need to know how many units iof insulin we need to inject to be functional but do not have low blood sugar. Really I do understand it very well. What I do not accept is that this dose can be counted with math. Then after someone idea no one tested if this idea right or wrong, the treatement started. Dose of insulin based on the math. It is presented as a minimum dose of insulin for basal needs to body system to function.
     How this test can be right? Even the same man has different demand in insulin day from day, and hour from hour. There are as many diabetic man on Earth the same amount of math can be. Is this possible to count? Not at all. No question, the math would not work, and diabetic cannot relay on it.  It is possible to create any formulas and try to push men on Procrust's bed. There is no one formula is right.Why? Because of glucose level in blood is not stable, so dose of insulin is in constant need to be changed, titrated.

Obesity in social setting. December 30, 2018

      Yesterday we went to Metropolitan Opera to listen La Traviata by Verdi. It is a new production, very beautiful, wealth and Riches in all, stage set, costumes, lightening, singers. and of cause choir. All dressed up in rich sophisticated customs. looks like we all were invaded to the wealthy society. Standing ovations, and they all deserved it.
      The house was full. I do not know if there were tickets for sale but there were no spot to stand in Family Circle and Balcony Hall. Gates were already opened, but house still closed. My wheelchair is huge, and even when there is not so many people it is difficult for me to pass to the elevator or from elevator to the spot where usually I park my wheelchair. Yesterday it was more difficult then ever.
     I moved very slow from elevator to let people to go. There were two young women and I asked them that I have to go through their line. Man, one of them made so ugly grimace, even now it is in my memory. So, people started to move and ... well I also started to move in my direction. Woman stepped into my way. I tried to stop my wheelchair but it is no so easy. It is very heavy, and it does not go in right direction. I almost hurt some man on left side of me. My Goodness! Why people so stupid!
     Young man turned back, saw me, and let me room to move. Next time when people started to move that idiot woman stepped up right to my way. But I was not naive anymore. I Shrek on her, loud! "Stop where you are!!!!!!!!!!!" People turned to me, and... they let me go through. Actually people are basically nice and polite. Of cause there are all the time some idiots.
      Really, why do I post it right now and right hear?
     I posted yesterday post. It is obesity and it is presented that because of people are obese they are ill and sick. We do have diabetes because of we do eat. Really, why that idiot who published his article never stopped to eat? At least he will know how it is looks like to be really hungry and let your fat to be used as meal. Now there is another tendentious. Cancer is also started to see as a result of overeating. Why not? Is cancer curable? Not all types of it. So, how MD suppose to treat patient? Simple, sent him away to lose weight and to stop to eat. I suggest to close all dental clinic. In this case no one will suffer because of dental problems. Authors of Cook Book Therapy including. They must be first who must be denied dental service.
      The dirty propaganda that diabetics type 2 ill because of overfed started long before diabetes type 2 was in priority of diagnose. This took 100 years to stamp this idea in population mined and brains. Now, everyone sure, they do know why and what. They also pretty sure they never will be 400 pounds. They do go to work out. They do live healthy. I can say, it is easy to live healthy when one is healthy. It is also easy to live healthy when one is rich and does not need to spend nights in service, no stress, right meal, every day right meal, and no worries. Where these people live? Definitely not in my area. They even not go to Metropolitan Opera to Family Circle. We can see them from our top how some of them dine. People who sit around me usually bring own sandwich, or buy one in bar.
     Well, finally I was able to get to my spot, and park my Mercedes.

'Remarkably Distressing': 35% of US Population Obese. December 29, 2018

This report identifies the sobering fact that obesity is becoming an increasingly serious problem in America. The relationship between obesity and cancer development is very well established. This report demonstrated that six states had a statistically significant increase in the incidence of obesity, with no states showing a decrease in the incidence of obesity over the past year.
 'Remarkably Distressing': 35% of US Population Obese.

      In NYC in museum there are ancient man and woman. When kid about 5 years old stand right with these people he is the same height, but stronger and wide in size.    What wrong with kid? Nothing. Kid is healthy and the same as every one kid in his cohort. The question is, why it is so much attention to obesity, and if this is really obesity or evolution, no one look at this direction? There are cancer and heart disease, diabetes and lung complications, Asthma and Sleep Aphnea, all because of obesity. There is no attention to the medical problem why person is ill or sick. All treatement dropped around BMI, and no one clear identification what is medical problem and how to treat it.
      Diabetes. Diagnose based on the level of sugar in blood. Then size of middle area taken into account, and diabetic treated respectively to the wideness of middle area. At the same time, diabetes is limited secretion of insulin due to defected pancreas. When this defect happened, and how?  No one do know it.
     Many times I suggested, Blood Sugar Is Vital!
     When blood sugar will be vital test then the myth that cancer or diabetes caused by high BMI will be broken. At least no everyone is diabetic. Only one out of ten. So 9 out of ten is not diabetic, at least not diagnosed as diabetic. Take a look at the size of men or women. Are they obese? Many of them are not. But sugar in blood above normal level. Because of they are not obese, they are not in risk to have diabetes. There is no screening for this part of human society. How many of them already diabetics? How many of then just a little bit above normal blood sugar level. Left untreated they will develop diabetes with time. If treatment will be started right now they will be healthy and no obesity. It is 75% of American Population, according to the report.
    Treatment for diabetes first line .... ? Really what does it mean, 'first line treatment'? did someone read about first line treatment for Flu? For dental problems? I did not. Every year two times we go to dental office to clean our teeth. Then dentist check up if we need some fillings. Job done just for a few visits. It does not matter do I need to fix root channel or for any other problem. It is addressed to the problem, and never to the size of my middle area. The result, with very poor health condition today at age of 67 I use my own teeth.
    In contrary to any other medical condition, diabetes treatment all the time starts with first line. Today, last days of year 2018, there are no stages of diabetes identified by WHO or ADA. Regardless of level of sugar in blood treatment for diabetes started with first line, Metformin and lose weight.

In 1985, no state had an adult obesity rate greater than 15%. Let me say that again: As recently as 1985, not a single state had more than a 15% obesity rate in adults.

        In 1980 WHO identity Diabetes type 2 and created guidance that diabetics type 2 must be treated with first line treatment, and so so on. Type 2 diabetes was identified as Insulin Independent type of diabetes.  Rate of Obesity took off. Death due to diabetes lead to number 7 in CDC Mortality Tables. Diabetics type 2 were denied Insulin as primary medicine. One after another hundreds new drags flooded market. Medicine to treat diabetes type 2, never diabetes type 1. In 2018 still there is no clear definition what is diabetes type 2 and how identify type of diabetes. At first treatment started and then diagnose clarified: Because of diabetic takes Metformin this diabetic is type 2 diabetic .... with sugar level in blood 370 mg/dl fasting. A1c = 9.4% diabetic still diabetic type 1, and treated with all types of Junk Medicine. Not for long. Less then 10 years of diabetes type 2 duration is fatal if diabetic will not stop treatment with Junk Medicine and start to take Insulin.
      It is well known that insulin leads to weight gain. With over 400 units daily dose of insulin which I can inject only in the same spot one after another, belly, pants started to be tighter and tighter.
Belly grow instantly.
      Now, do diabetic has any other medical conditions in addition to diabetes? Why dose of insulin increased so dramatically? Why today it is up to 500 units daily injections? Really, who care? Treatment plan and diagnose is the same. Diabetes which effect every cell in the body leads to increased risk to have CVD and cancer. Do we have treatment or check up for these conditions? No. With all sings of CVD it is presented that there is no heart problem. Why? Because of to treat obesity is safe! It is patient to whom to blame.  Patient does not do the job to decrease size of body.  So, there is nothing what can be done. Painfully and slow or fast we are moving to the Grave. Why not? We are not healthy. Society does not need this burden.

I thank you for your attention and I encourage you to not only read information about the growing incidence of obesity, but also join in the effort to try to figure out a way to reduce this serious problem in our society. Again, thank you for your attention.

You are welcome. Thanks to authors like this one and those who fast to response  every step we take, every man we meet, treat us accordingly. Not only in clinic I have only one type of treatment such as demand to lose weight, but on streets, at home, everywhere. They mane it attention, I name it: Abuse. Humiliation. Discrimination. We are just on opposite sides of Bathroom Scale Therapy.

Day by Day. December 27, 2018

      Sugar is high today. It is 199 mg/dl. I missed shot in the morning, and woke up too late. So, sugar is high. One shot missed, and sugar is out of control. So easy, so simple. I am diabetic type 2. I still alive and sound. But I injected 160 units as soon as I took readings. Now say me, if diabetic type 2 take 12 units of insulin and them misses one shot, is diabetic can die? LOLOLOL! But they all like to say, how it is danger for them to be diabetics.
      Also I wish to say, how it is looks like that their immune system destroy Beta Cells? If it is true then with time higher and higher dose of insulin would be needed, right? Not for diabetics type 1. Ask them what dose of insulin they took when they were diagnosed with diabetes, and what dose of insulin they take 10 years after they started insulin injections. Dose of insulin dropped for every one of them. So, they do not have progressed diabetes but regressive type of diabetes.
      It is different with diabetes type 2. I am not scientist.  I cannot answer why? But the matter of fact, to keep blood sugar under control I have to take higher dose of insulin compare with dose I needed at the time of diagnose. In 2011 60 units were good for me. Now I inject more between 400 and 500 units. Huge progress I would say.
     Why it is so? What make diabetes to go to such progress? In my case it was constant drop in insulin delivery. Every time when delivery was stopped dose of insulin went up and up. I may only conclude that insulin injections should not be stopped without very sure diagnose that diabetic's pancreas healthy and ready to work without support by insulin.
     Diabetic pancreas may be checked if it is healthy or not. There are many way to check it up, X-Ray and Cat- Scan just a few to mention. Pancreas never diagnosed with any problem diabetics type 2 do have, why? It was established that pancreas of diabetic is different then it is in healthy person. So, why till present days diagnose of diabetes based only on the level of sugar in blood?
      It is well known that diabetics do have problems with fertility. The same men and women alike. Many women undergo surgery soon after they passed 40th birthday. Different types of tumor is common for these surgeries. Pancreas the same as ovarian can be under fibrosis. Polyps are common in diabetic's body. Cysts are one of common cause for ovarian or womb surgery.
     In spite of many odds it is only diet that under close attention of medical providers. No one see any other problems if one does have diabetes. With time our body getting wider and wider. Probably, it is too much attention to the middle area our medical complex and media pay. The completely forgot about other problems that can lead to diabetes and obesity.

       Now, there is the question, what id 'diet'? "Diet' is what we do eat. Diet is primary needs for human body. Without meal no one living organism may live and function properly. So, before take into consideration what diet is best for diabetics and if it is possible to treat or to prevent diabetes with diet, we have to know what is healthy diet for healthy living and healthy function.

Is this for working day or for weekend or for vacation on Hawaii or any other place to be? Why? Because of every one do know we eat more in Winter and less in Summer. But we drink more water in Summer and less in Winter. Also in these recommendations never paid attention how tall person to whom diet recommended, skin color and ethnicity.  
      Now try to see that military men and women practice this diet and then go to do the job. They must be healthy and functional, right? Or police officers to tackle criminal. Man took green salad and go to chase suspect. If we cannot imagine this as healthy living then how do one know what healthy living is?
    Really, why if one is healthy then one is eat right, but when one is ill then one does not eat right? This is what our medical industry what about. All the problems with our health resulted because of our eating habits. So why there are so many dental clinics? At least be honest and see, teeth pain is result of wrong meals. Just start to eat right and one will keep all teeth in place. BTW, to prove it is right, just close dental clinic and every one will stop to eat. Best way to restrict calories intake.

Day by Day. December 27, 2018

Blood sugar is 105 mg/dl
In the morning it was looks like low sugar. I felt I am sick. But really sugar is good. Why do I feel in this way?
      Yesterday I injected 450 units. Day before it was 463 units lantus solo star. I better expect low sugar. It is not. Sugar is just normal.
     In the morning edema increased. Not every morning I wake up with snore in my lungs. It is pulmonary embolism. Some day it is better, other day it is worse. Some day I can snore all day long. It is not because of I sleep. I am not. It is water between cells in lungs. The same water is in heart and other organs. Body getting bigger and bigger. I buy clothing and before they delivered they are already too small. I regret I cannot sew. I can quilt a little. But I cannot sew clothing. So, I have to buy them. I cannot make one from two. No brain for that no hands.
      Looks like I go from one crisis to another. When it would be over? No light. Just keep going, and take life as it is. At least right now I can stand, a little bit walk around home, and turn on my bed. I cannot dress or put on shoe. I even cannot put on jacket. Insurance will pay for home aid for me 200 visits a year. There is no home care company which will take my case. Or probably there is problem with my prime doctor. Anyway, I canceled last visit to his office. I have find someone better to be served.
      It is sunny day in NYC. No snow yet. Worm and bright day.
      Right now I am reading some books I got from Amazon. All of them are published before 1980. Why it is so interesting before 1980? Because of at that time WHO developed system how to diagnose and treat diabetes. I am not really sure about it. But I wish to dig dipper right to the roots of this type of diabetes, and where it come from.
     At present time all what I see it is very commercial and political, social creation. There is no real medical condition to divide diabetes to the types. Stages, yes, as in any medical condition there are stages. They can be named as mild diabetes and up to the last stage of diabetes when diabetic is in coma and very lose to the last breath. It is obvious that different stages need to be treated differently. It is not in guidance of diagnose created by WHO or ADA.
      Diagnose of diabetes based on the level of sugar in blood. If it is higher then normal, then it is diabetes. Treatment started. How? Based on what treatment started? There are level of sugar which is 130 mg/dl, higher then normal fasting sugar but lower then it can be when one is not fasting. And there is 799 mg/dl. How treatment may be the same?
     For our medical industry it does not matter, why? Because of the goal is not to cure patient but to keep victim on the hook. If the goal was to cure diabetes then today, almost 100 years after insulin discovery, diabetes would not be number 7 cause of death. But it is now. Why? Because of treatment of diabetes cannot be done 'naturally' with herbs and goat milk.  Humorously our medical society have no one idea how to use insulin. Do not worry about it. Diabetics are not stupid as it is presented by Media. We are really very very smart. We will find out and very soon how to inject insulin, what dose of insulin to inject. And myth that diabetics afraid of needles created by medical society. Little kids inject insulin into own belly, and adult would faint with needle? You must be kidding. We are not afraid of needles.
     Ok, it is time for second shot.  As I said, we do not afraid of needles. We take as many shots as it is needed.

Blood Sugar Balance. Does it really Work? December 26. 2018

100% effective in clinical trails
Features unique formula
Safe and ultra  powerful supplement for every one
Offers a convenient refund policy
Helps fight diabetes naturally.
https://www.sugarbalance.net/

        So, what is this supplement about? In reading above I got "0" valid information. I do not care how formula undue or not and how powder was blended. I never believe in state that something is "safe for everyone". I just do not believe in thinks like that. The same I do not believe in a convenient refund policy. There are a few posts in my blog about Dr.Oz TV show and his mocking on high stage. I do not understand why people go to that show in first place. But people posted on my posts that they ordered some staff Dr. Oz sell, and there is no product no money back. And finally I do not believe that any potentially fatal disease can be treated naturally. At least it is not Dr. Oz who trained to do so.
      OK, I posted this Yesterday, diet, pancreas stimulation and sugar balance is not the way to treat limited insulin secretion. It is way to kill Beta Cells faster, and to destroy the life of diabetic. At the same time it is diabetic who pay for crap. Not for me really.  I wish to see better medicine or herbs compounds. In this case I see only the net which promise too much and will give nothing beneficial in return.
     The claim is that withing 4 weeks result must be seen. If buyer do not see results money back guarantee. When, how do I suppose to see results if product work or not? Sure it will. Usually in supplements like that some herbs and diuretic + laxative. Withing 4 weeks weight would drop, and sugar will drop also. OK, what about liver? How do I suppose to see if there are detox of liver? Also in commercial it was not told that for how long we have to take this supplement to complete liver detox and stop pancreas stimulation. ether diuretic nether laxative effect liver to be detoxed. Also stimulation and detox cannot be taken forever.
     And if there are serious medical problem go back to your doctor. Fine. What for? What we expect to say, and what doctor suppose to say? "Stop It! before you kill yourself."- of cause if it is not Dr. Oz.
     Promise, promises, more promises.
     No side effect till buyer take recommended dose. Sorry, diabetes is progressive disease.  So, one buyer in first stage of development, and another is in last stage of life. What dose they both have to take? Also Dr. Oz Rx powerful treatment to diabetic without knowing patient condition. Odd, is not it?  I better do not trust in this doctor. He is clown and he colonnade very well. But I prefer clown in circle rather then in medical clinic who will be responsible for my well being and even my life. Thanks a lot. 
      It safe your money.
Really? How? I do not pay for medicine. Many of us do not. But if I do pay I prefer to buy product I can relay on. I pay for wrap for my legs. Health plan I do have does not pay for it. I order it on Amazon. I can relay on Amazon. I can send  what I paid for, and money will be deposited on my credit card. Even if package was lost, I got my money back.
    It safe our time.
How? What time it safe? Visits to hospital and to clinic. Why? Because of in commercial then more benefits posted then it is easy to catch the fish. As doctor, Dr. Oz must be more professional to claim what he pretend is the powerful treatment for the medical condition which takes 200,000 lives every year.
   But Dr. Oz is not medical doctor. He is clown. Charlatan.

Sugar Balance is Dr. Mehmet Oz's a new Crap. December 26, 2018

Launched on September 14 of 2009, this Harpo Productions development sees Dr. Mehmet Oz, a regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show at the center of his own talk show. Dr. Oz, vice chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University, published author, host of several Discovery programs, and director of the Cardiovascular Institute and Complementary Medi… 
https://www.sugarbalance.net/
detox for liver
stimulate the pancreas
balance blood sugar...... 

 Why diabetic need this crap? Who said it is diabetic who need this? It is Dr. Oz and his company Gold Mine. Just less then $50 for a bottle. Not to expensive to try, and see by yourself if this work for you.... . This philosophy works perfectly. Just go fishing. 
      He is the  doctor, right? He suppose to know, it is not balance of sugar diabetic need, it is insulin limit in diabetic's body. Then sugar go to balance. Without insulin sugar is high or low does not matter. Sugar may be normal, just stop to eat, and there is no high sugar, probably. I never starve myself so I am not sure if this work or really does not work. But what is the reason? How many times there was Starvation strike? Did it work? No. People were not functional at all. 
     I am curious, did level of sugar was right in blood of those who go to Starvation strike? I do not remember I read anywhere how those people lived. If they did not eat for day or many days, so there where no sugar from food, right? If they are not diabetics then they do have regular insulin supply, right? How system worked in this scenario? 
      What I do know is Starvation lead to diabetes. When war or or any other disaster when people separated from the rest of society and food supply is hardly limited after disaster worked out people develop diabetes. Why? They suppose to prevent diabetes with starvation. This never happened. In Japan there were studies conducted. People develop diabetes in areas where Tsunami happened. Also the level of sugar went up and up then closer to the effected aria then hardly people were effected with elevated blood sugar level. And then more devastated effect such as lost family or possessions then harder diabetes strike. 
      Now say me, is this about eating? or it is about sugar balance or liver detox? No. It is need in insulin. 
     About pancreas stimulation I can say: do not pay any money to do the crap job. Just go to doctor and take SU. Every one who is diabetic type 2 take different types of medicine to stimulate ill pancreas. Then more stimulants taken then faster pancreas work out. Simple. Every one understand it when it is need to stimulate such organs as heart or any other healthy organ. The question is, why it is so dark to understand that pancreas is the same as any other organ in our body system Then more pancreas stimulated then faster it is die. This is why diabetics type 2 who take Metformin and SU different types live less then 10 years after being diagnosed with diabetes. 
     Finally, detox for Liver. Just stop to take Metformin and stop to poison own liver with this crap, liver would be better. Till Metformin is in medical box no one other medicine will clean the liver. BTW, why it is important to stay, Sugar Balance System provide detox for liver? Because of Dr.Oz know very well what medicine usually diabetics take, and how this medicine effect health and well being. As I just said, stop to take medicine which kill you pancreas and liver. Trust in me, you will not need to pay for Sugar Balance or Diabetes Destroyer. Keep these money for yourself and buy insulin. Insulin in injections will bring your sugar under control, regardless what do your eat.

The Truth About Insulin. How much True is True? December 25, 2018

What exactly is insulin? How does it factor into type 1 diabetes, and type 2? And how does exercise affect your insulin levels?
How Much Do You Know About Insulin?
https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/rm-quiz-insulin-facts?ecd=wnl_spr_122518&ctr=wnl-spr-122518_nsl-Bodymodule_Position4&mb=PhVlaTw1CBS1ZMU%2fTqByPuHnVev1imbCu5O66y7JnDg%3d

What is insulin?

Your body breaks down certain foods you eat into a sugar called glucose that it uses for energy. Insulin, which is made by your pancreas, helps keep the right amount of glucose in your bloodstream. If you don’t have enough insulin, too much sugar stays in your blood.

       I an sorry, is this kindergarten education program? I hoped that medical e-jurnal such as WebMed for educated people who are able to read, understand reading,  and use internet. Obviously I am wrong. Really, if the question is, what is insulin? then why answer is so primitive? Really, who know how insulin works inside of body and what job it does? 
      I am diabetic, with very high blood sugar level and high dose of insulin. What I can say, insulin prevent infections and treat them, helps to heal broken nails and make nails looks great and bright, and so so so on. Why it is all the time when question is insulin? the answers about sugar? 
    The answer is wrong! 
If you have type 1 diabetes

 If you have type 1 diabetes, you need to take insulin shots to manage your blood sugar. If you have type 2 diabetes, your body makes insulin, but it doesn’t use it well. You might need insulin shots to help your body use glucose, or you could need another medication, like metformin.

    Really? How many diabetics type 2 where treated with metformin? Everyone. How many diabetics improved blood sugar with metformin? No one. If you do have type 2 diabetes start to take insulin long acting slow release insulin Lantus Solo Star, Lantus, or any other types of insulin from this family. Soon every one would see great effect of insulin. 
     The question is, why with sugar level the same in time of diagnose one part of people treated with insulin and 95% of others with the same medical condition treated with diet? It is well known diet never cured diabetes even it was used to treat diabetics over 2000 years. Insulin is less then 100 years on market, and yet used properly it saved millions of lives. Even first types of insulin prolonged lives. 
     Why Diabetic 'might need' something to do about disease? 'might need' neans that one can do it, or just avoid it. How the medical publishr can publish this absurd? Diabetes is potentially fatal diseas. It must be started to be treated as soon as it was detected that level of sugar is elevated. At that time diabetes is already in full bloom. The problem started much early but our body system was able to fight this problem When sugar left outside the target, diabetes took over. 
     Finally, how MD may say that diabetics type 1 do not make insulin? Insulin is not detectable in present time. So, medical publisher must not educate public with fake presentations. It is not education. It is dirty propaganda against ill, potentially mortally ill part of our society. 
Shame of You!!!!!!!!!!!!
 The answer is Wrong!

How much insulin you take depends on:

This is true for both type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Your doctor will figure out how much you need based on things like your weight, how active you are, how well your body uses insulin, what you eat, and any other conditions you have.

 Come on! No one doctor know answer to this question. Because of all questions above were answered incorrectly, this answer is also wrong. Whait, calories, carbs, work outs, and so so so on does not possible  to count dose of insulin. Say me, to dust room is work out or not? Does work countable? One has office work, another work in salad bar, and walks miles every day aroun this bar. How many calories were used? How much insulin job took from diabetic?
The Answer is Wrong!

Regular physical activity can lower your blood glucose and help you take less insulin or other diabetes medication. Ask your doctor about your routine. How intense the activity is and how long you do it can make a big difference in how your body reacts. Test your blood sugar before, during, and after exercise.

It is really good answer. Of cause with insulin we are better and getting healthier every day we inject insulin. What about diabetics type 2? They do not take insulin. They take pills. What diabetics type 2 must do when sugar is lower? They cannot decrease the dose of pills without MD approval. Really, I never met any education how to deal with pills when work out decreased level of sugar. This info or education never was published. 
Please, improve your answers. Remember, 95% of diabetic population taake pills, not insulin. So why the answer only for 5% what to do?  
If you take insulin, drinking alcohol:

 Alcohol stops your liver from making glucose. Women with diabetes should have no more than one drink a day and men should have no more than two. Don’t drink on an empty stomach or when your blood sugar is already low. Check your blood sugar before, during, and for the next 24 hours after drinking.

Sorry, I did not get the humor. Metformin as alcohol work to stop liver from making glucose. Why metformin presented as safe pills? This answer is perfect to see why all diabetics have problems with liver. In addition to effect of diabetes on the liver we have to take pi;;s which destroy the liver. we take these pills from time we enter into clinic to the rest of our lives. Better to take your life into own hands, and think twice before trust in MD.

Stop Diabetes. How? December 25, 2018

       Every one out of ten is diabetic. Is this true? I am not sure about it. I think number is much higher then it is presented by Medical Complex. Also what I do know is, Diabetes is not only treatable but curable with proper insulin therapy. The question is, why 95% of diabetic do not have this therapy? Really why?
      Well, I do have conspiracy theory. It is war, and war is very good business for some class of our society who do not have loss as middle class but collect great Wealth from war. Diabetes is war. Death of diabetics is causalities. Who die usually? Who diagnosed with diabetes type 2? Middle class population who is over 40 years old. This is what we told, and how public opinion created. We read it in publications medical and not medical, we see it in Media. There are plenty of steadies done to confirm that fat prevent insulin from working properly. At the same time, there is never test for the level of insulin when we diagnosed with diabetes. So, where idea that fat prevent insulin to do the job come from? There are simple no insulin to do the job. Still this version have no support.
       In all publications it is widely presented how much diabetes cost to society. The question is, who collect these money? Not diabetics for sure. Diabetics and working middle class Walk to Stop Diabetes? and collect more money for those who develop high mortality due to diabetes and shorten lives of all America population. Really why not? People live longer. If treated with insulin they will live healthy and long. But Earth is already overpopulated. Military war is not effective. So, these wars replaced by fight with terrorist and Medical War.
       Insulin therapy is very danger for Medical Complex. Diabetic who start insulin injections soon became very independent. This diabetic know very well how many units to inject, and how to keep level of sugar under tight control. The result would be devastated: Medical Clinics would lost 95% of patients right now sitting in weighting rooms. No patients, no payments to collect. What medical staff is going to do? So we are, diabetics type 2, paying highest price, physically, mentally, and financially. Society needs us, scapegoats for greed and ignorance.

     Do we need to be scapegoats? Not at all. We  live in pain and fear every day. Our family pay highest price to support us. But there is something we can do to stop Diabetes. Just take it in oun hands. Happily for us, there is no need to seek for treatment. It is already developed and ready to be taken. This is Insulin, beautiful medicine which will stop diabetes if not for those of us who today effected by diabetes but for next generation, for our children and grandchildren. We can do it.
      Someone pretend that they will not take insulin, ever, why? What is the reason do not take effective medicine and get better then suffer and slow ding?  What is the reason to afraid needless. Propaganda. When insulin therapy started easily with level of sugar just started to go up, there will not be dangerously low blood sugar. Low blood sugar may be fatal when dropped from 400 mg/dl down to 38 mg/dl. Diabetic need help from outside. we even cannot eat, need someone who assist us with feeding. But when blood sugar is only 130 mg.dl and insulin taken, there is no low sugar down to 38 mg/dl. If diabetic feel hungry just take something to eat, and one would be fine. I use protein bar when I am not home.
     Regardless we are diagnosed with diabetes or not, we can check blood sugar level with meter we can buy. It is difficult to get Rx on Insulin. But probably this problem someone can also solve. Do not start to treat pre-diabetes with life style modifications and collect pounds and complications. Star treatment with insulin. Very slow, just 10 units. Even non diabetic will be safe with this dose. And then add three units every third day if sugar getting up. After a short time diabetic know all about own diabetes one needs to know. Stop Diabetes! Every one can do it. Donations to ADA never come even closer to the finish line. Think about, would they stop close The Spring with Gold and Green? But every one diabetic can do it, every one! Just stop what MD Rx and start to take what is effective and reasonable.

Day by Day. Weight loss surgery. December 24, 2018

    I am watching video, weight loss ward. In this ward fatties people wait for weight loss surgery. Some one will have it. Some one will go home because they fail to lose weight with diet. The stories are dramatic, and they are practically the same: people eat too much, cannot control their eating addiction. One of patient said, she is good now. No diabetes. No high blood pressure. Another one come to this ward not first time. She cannot deal with hunger and still eating after weight loss surgery. People on video weight 900 pounds and more. We never meet them on street. They stay home.
     I am wander, why it is all the time stomach which must be reduced? How this effect person's life? Why do not take off part of fat that person collected, and let person to live happily for a few years till body accumulate another portion of the fat?  Really, how surgeon do know what size of stomach would his patient need? I never met what are requirements for weight loss surgery. What is one has normal, not oversized stomach but weight is high? I do have suggests to undergo weight loss surgery every time I am in medical clinic. But in spite of all odds I do not eat as it is presented in video. Of cause, if I will have consultation with dietitian I will know that all what are do eat is wrong, and this is why I am diabetic type 2. I do not go to support groups or to nutrition consultation.
      Right now I see my nails are healthy, bright, and no crackings or yellow substance under nails.  Surprise. I did  have them all my life. I try all medicine I could find, and paid a lot of money till I gave up and stopped pay any attention how my nails look like.  Now they look very nice, and I even can cover then with polish. How it happened? I do not know, but it happened.
     There are many other things that happened with my body now. No way we can treat this complications with insulin. But it is work. Then better blood sugar control then better health in general. All organs start to function properly or at least better then before.
     With weight loss surgery it is difficult to predict that once weight was reduced it never return. No one doctor will say that. They ll do know, patient must keep eat as a little, and work out actively. Then something happen. One lost job, of tragedy in family, or storm, or .... you name it. What after that? Weight return and with plus, always with plus, and always return, regardless what diet one use and how active one is in fitness club.
     What was interesting to me when one woman stated, 'no more diabetes.' Really? How does she know it? It is very well known fact that very low calorie intake lead to to be diabetes-free but to die. Sugar is absent in  urine or even in blood. But diabetes is not the level of sugar, normal or abnormal. It is condition of pancreas, healthy or not. With this understanding it is easy to see that reduced stomach will not improve function of pancreas under heavy cover of fibrosis.
      When I watched this video, I just thought, are they real people? In our time with fake news and so easy way to create fantastic monsters, how I trust in the internet published video that weight loss surgery is really only choice for people with 400 pounds and up. It is embarrassing, and they shame who they are. I do not shame myself. Nether do I shame of size of my body.  What video play is how surgery going, how patient count every meal, how doctors educate patients, and so so on. I wish to see those patients and statistic of clinic, how many die right after surgery? How many committed suicide because of all what they tried did not work and they lost any hope. All what was left for them just shame and pain. And how long it took to weight to return?
     There is no publications or studies in this direction. Simple and shameless the negative consequence of weight loss surgery covered, never published. The statistic looks ugly. All medical personal in clinic do know it. But every one do the job they paid to do. Every one play role in medical show business.

history of diabetes from Egypt papyrus, around 30 B.C - 50 B.C.to 1775. December 23, 2018

       Diabetes known for more then 2000 year. Oldest description of diabetes were found in Egypt papyrus, around 30 B.C - 50 B.C. Disease was described as emaciation, extreme weight loss. Patients were thin due to lack of nutrition and subcutaneous fat. The symptom of this mysterious daises was extreme polyurea without pain. Disease was highly progressive and fatal by nature. So, the cause of this disease was assumed to be by kidney weakness and that a drunk was excreted unchanged.
    This understanding was hold about 1500 years.
     Around 600 Ac in China diabetes was disrobed as:
 polyphonia, insatiable hunger, rare deneric obesity disorder;
polydipsia, extreme thirstiness, drinking plenty of water;
polyuria, an abnormally large production of urine and an abnormally large passing urine. In present time this condition is due to diabetes insipidus, diabetes melitus, or use of diuretics. The treatment was recommended: bleeding, emetics, and narcotics, Opi.
     At the same time in India was observed that passed urine was sweet, and disease was named as hiney-urine disease. It was observed that people effected by this disease often had furunculs and TB, consumption as it was named at that time. Also the heredity of disease often were observed and noted.
     The Arab physician Avicenna (980 - 1037) first time noted diabetic gangrene, developed hypothesis of effect diabetes on nervous system, and the role of liver in development of diabetes.
       This is time line of diabetes recognition since ancient times. In 1775 at first time diabetic's urine was evaporated and was discovered sugar in it.
     
      Now we very often read that in past diabetes was rare disease, and every physician treated diabetic only one during his medical practice. Is this really true? Very hard to believe. If this really was true and diabetes was rare then this disease and it descriptions were not mentioned by  ancient  physicians. The matter of fact, it was common and people died due to diabetes. At that time CDC did not collect data how many people died and what caused death. So, now as it is in all medical publications, all can be presented as fact, but in reality it is only art of writing and free performance.
    In present time, as it was predicted by Dr. Joslin there is epidemic of diabetes, and even pandemic. But when we take a look at the streets, we no longer see people with wounded legs, and not too many blind people on our streets.
      The diabetic pandemic and epidemic can be easily stopped with proper treatment and vaccination. In stead of take expensive screening for diabetes those who are at risk to develop diabetes, let it be sugar in blood Vital. Not only drop from finger and use of glucose meter, but with test of A1c. A1c test show not level of sugar at this moment, but average of sugar level in period of three month. This test do not depend of fasting or after meal, and what patient ate today or Yesterday before test. In present time people if they are not diagnosed diabetics are not tested for level of sugar. So, say me, how they will diagnosed and treated?
      In one of his book Dr. Joslin mentioned that his student show sugar in urine when in college they had exam for a few hours. So, to help our kids to be good and healthy in stead of blame them for obesity let give them insulin in time of exams. A small  dose of insulin will help kids to be stronger and work more effective. After exam, if sugar returned back to normal these kids can be in Honeymoon phase and do not take insulin.
     It was also meted that in Winter level of sugar is higher then it is in Summer. So, diabetic's treatment can be seasonal when it is just mild, and almost around normal level. Kids grow, they need more energy to function. In stead diabetic kids, especially those diagnosed with diabetes type 2, have public attention in negative way. Diabetic child, whose nerve system is already effected by diabetes, suffer from depression and panic attacks. This kids need help, not attack because of they do not look pretty and lovely.
     And of cause vaccination. As early as first days of lived infant can be given one or two units of insulin, to activate immune system. Baby had very difficult time going through birth. Insulin, very smal dose of it, will help infant to be healthy and strong in new world.   Now I do have question. When I read books published by Dr. Joslin, I wish to know, what Dr. Joslin know about diabetes, disease he treated all throughout all his medical practice? All these facts were already well known in medical society. Also Dr. Joslin c

Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) Starts a Phase-II? Trial To Prevent Type-1 In Presymptomatics

This study is testing a medication, called hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to assess safety and effectiveness to prevent individuals at risk of type 1 diabetes from progressing to type 1 diabetes.

HCQ is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a treatment (not a cure) for malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.  It operates through several pathways, including as an anti-inflammatory.  HCQ has been used for over 60 years, but has not previously been studied as a treatment to prevent T1D.

This Study

These researchers are recruiting 200 people who are at least 3 years old and test positive for 2 or more autoantibodies as part of TrialNet.  2/3s will get the drug and 1/3 will get a placebo and will be a control group.   The study involves 5 visits in the first 6 months, then 1 visit every 6 months for the remainder of the study (about six years).

The primary end point is the number of people who progress to having abnormal blood glucose numbers or to being diagnosed with type-1 diabetes.  (The hope is that few people getting the treatment will make this progression, as compared to the placebo group.)  The study started in Aug-2018 and they hope to finish in 2024.  Prevention studies take a long time, because the onset of type-1 takes a long time, so the researchers need to wait a long time to see if fewer people get the disease.

This trial is part of TrialNet and is being funded by JDRF.

Man who Invented Diabetes Treatment. Cause of Diabetes. December 23, 2018

The underlying cause of diabetes is usually considered to be a derangement in one of the functions of the pancreas. This gland, in animal known as the sweetbread. which lies behind the stomach near the liver. it discharges into the bowel the most important digestive juice of any gland in body, and this juice is capable of digesting all kind of food.  Strangely enough this digestive action of the pancreas remains undisturbed in diabetes. The fault with the pancreas in diabetes concerns that function of the gland which regulates the body's use of sugar formed from the food. 

There are many different attempts were used to treat diabetics by feeding diabetics patients the pancreas of animals, by the use of extracts from the gland, and even by applying portion of pancreas from animals under diabetic's skin. Nothing worked.
The book published in 1919, so the insulin still not discovered yet, and any attempts to find cure for diabetes were worth to try. What is important, at that time the observation that diabetics have larger body's size where made.

Granted there is a natural tendency of diabetes in certain individuals, this develops into the actual disease most commonly when the body is overfed. Approximately 60% of a recent series of 100 diabetic cases showed obesity.

      Now there is the table how obesity distributed  as diabetics aged. Then older diabetic then more extra pounds body carry. Easy to see, it is obesity and overeating why diabetic developed diabetes. It is still difficult to see that diabetes carry on extra pounds because of function of pancreas. It is not possible to see. So, because of body size it is obvious, diabetic is overeating. Simple and rude. Easy to blame victim why one is suffer. Even easy to say, one does not suffer but die irresponsibly and leave children behind. 
      What Dr. Joslin fail to see that in every hospital at that time there were wards about 100 beds. Diabetic children in coma. Those are children of usually poor and working man. those who could afford nurse was at home under care of family and nurse, adult and children alike. What Dr. Joslin pointed out, diabetes is rare in children. Really? Where his observation come from? How it is possible to trust in these observations?
    He is The Man. The Doctor. He invented treatment for diabetics. 100 years after 95% of diabetics still suffer under these treatment and die timelessly. It is widely known that diabetes type 2 caused by obesity. It is absolutely not known that obesity caused by diabetes. The fact that diabetic's pancreas fail to function properly is not known for the 95% of doctors. They still treat diabetics with first line of treatment, life style modifications, diet and exercise. 100 years after insulin discovery treatment still not available for diabetics. There are no studies how to use insulin, how to stop diabetes to be progressive, number 7 killer in America.
    Also it is not known how many chronicle   medical conditions can be treated when diabetes taken under tight control. Even more then that, today it is presented that tight control is not needed. Diabetics would suffer under tight blood sugar control. 100 years ago Dr. Joslin insisted that only tight control sugar in urine can treat diabetic effectively. Treatment was strict diet, down to 400 calories for adult diabetics, men or women alike, and exercise. What else can reduce obesity? This way to treat ill patient is best at all. Very low calorie intake was mixed with fasting one, two and more days. Really, how this treatment can be seen as treatment? Is not this looks like torture? 
    Dr. Joslin highly praise very famous in his time Dr. F. Allen. He was known as Dr. Death, or Dr. Starvation. But even Dr. F. Allen when he was asked if his treatment would heal diabetic answered: "No. But we can buy time till cure would be discovered." Now, almost 100 years after insulin discovery 95% of diabetic population treated with cruelty and abuse that we developed diabetes because of our symptom of diabetes, Obesity.
     How it is right or wrong? Well, all diabetics with progressed condition usually obese. Not every one obese person is diabetic. Every one human who exposed to cold water more then 10 min will die. So, it is obvious that cold water is fatal for human body. If not every one obese person is diabetic then there is no evidence that obesity caused diabetes. More obvious that diabetes caused obesity.
      Dr. Joslin did not like this logic. The idea that overeating is cause of diabetes suited him better.

Man who Invented Diabetes Treatment. Diabetes definition. December 22, 2018

There is all the time question, how type of diabetes diagnosed and from where this claim that diabetes type 2 is resulted by overeating come from? In other words, diabetics type 2 done diabetes for themselves. They can do treat themselves and be diabetes type 2 free. Also every one with strong mind and will power can get rid of diabetes type 2, and be diabetes-free, reverse diabetes type 2. Most important in all these claims what support them and where from they come?
      In 1918 first book how to treat diabetes was published by Lea & Febiger Philadelphia and new York . Book named Diabetes Manual for the mutural use of Doctors and Patients by Dr. Elliot P. Joslin. Dr. Joslin discribed diabetes and what caused diabetes.

It is perfectly true that diabetes is a chronic disease, but, unlike rheumatism and cancer, it is painless; unlike tuberculosis, it is clean and not contagious, and in contrast it is susceptible to treatment, and the downward cause of a patient can usually be promptly checked.
  Diabetes Manual for the mutural use of Doctors and Patients by Dr. Elliot P. Joslin.
  Lea & Febiger Philadelphia and new York . 1919

        I can be agree with Dr. Joslin, diabetes can be easy and fast checked and diagnosed. Why today, 100 years after that manual was published, millions of Americans not diagnosed with diabetes and not treated? It is easy to say, people do not want to have this diagnose in medical history, why? it will close too many door for diabetic. Try to find job if one with diabetes. Try to get health care insurance if one is diabetic. Diabetes is very expensive to treat. Only strips to check up level of sugar in blood cost $30 every month, only one reading. When sugar is high and treatment is aggressive to avoid low sugar we have to check up level of sugar up to 6 time daily. Every strip cost about $1. Do your math. Do not blame insurance companies they do not want diabetics have the medical coverage. At the same time there is no one policy to protect diabetics, to help us to find the job we can do and to get health insurance. Many of us simple do not have it.
     I am agree with Dr. Joslin, diabetics are not contagious, nothing danger to contact with us and let us go to the street to be around other people. When Ebola hit American' soil medical industry worked day and night to find the cure. 100 years after insulin discovery there still no cure for diabetes, why? Because of there is no need in cure. It is very important to ask for donations and present that it is company which is working to find cure for diabetes 20, 30, 50 years, so they are good .... in collecting money. Why cure still not on the table? Really, who is in need to have that cure? Diabetics. If we do have this cure we use it. Not too many of us. Most diabetics 95% of all diabetic population take what they have: diet, starvation, fasting, and incentive work out. Nothing work. So, diabetics die.
     In mortality tables by CDC Diabetes is number 7 cause of Death. It is 100 % preventable. But if there is no diabetics then what all medical industry will be treating? Do your math. How much every diabetic cost to society? Where all those money gone? Who benefit and who lost? 80,000 Americans die every year with diabetes as prime cause of Death.
    I am agree with Dr. Joslin, diabetes can be treated.  It is easy to be checked up if treatment works or not. And effect of treatment is open and easy to control. So, why diabetes type 2 is progressive? Why all the time when we enter to medical office first question is, for how long we diagnosed with diabetes? Also I wish to ask, why every time when we enter into office of a new doctor for us it is first line of treatment for diabetes? Really when second line will start? Why second line needed if diabetes so easy to treat?
     There is answer by Dr. Joslin: diabetes is painless. really? What is this about and how it is possible to say? Dr.Joslin's ante died because of diabetes. His mother died because of diabetes one year after he started to see and treat his first   diabetic's patient. His office was in his parents house. Why really hi did not treated his mother and she died? He cured many, and he reduced mortality of his patients by 20%, according to his statement. Why his mother died?   Is this really true she did not have any pain? Was her diabetes painless? Probably yes, I do not know. I do know how my diabetes hurt me, and believe me, it is far away from being painless. This is why in my medical box pain medicine and every day I take 1200 mg Gabapentine. Every day. If I stop this medicine soon I am not able to get up from bed. I am not able even take any move, even breath. Such acute pain. This is why diabetics fall on streets. Really, how he can say that?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     To finish up with this definition say me, if it is easy to check up, how this can help me to control diabetes? Do not say, if I do know my numbers I can ... what really can I do?

Sweet Sixteen

Sixteen sweet things about the past sixteen years with T1D:

1. My daughter was diagnosed in time.

2. Christmas in a children's hospital is not an experience I'd wish on anyone and yet was magical in ways no other Christmas could be.

3. She and I both survived the toddler diabetes years.

4. We found other families with diabetes quickly.

5. We continue to have diabetes people in our lives: friendships we treasure both despite and because of their diabetes glue.

6. Ruby, the teddy bear with diabetes, lives with us and continues to be a fuzzy source of support.

7. A perfect and welcoming preschool was, essentially, in our backyard.

8. I found the diabetes online community; and then I got to start a blog and revisit my second grade goal of being a writer when I grew up.

9. The elementary school nurse was a treasure; and her diabetes care was great too.

10. Friends' parents invited my daughter over for playdates, however uncomfortable they may have been.

11.Lots of friends and family have gone out of their way (especially in those early pre-pump years) to loop us in on menu plans and eating schedules, making our visits easy.

12. Teachers have kept an extra eye out, no matter the other chaos in their classrooms.

13. Schools have found a way to make trips, special events and after-school activities work.

14. We've had amazing medical professionals on our team.

15. Math has always come easily for my daughter (and my math skills have greatly improved).

16. My daughter has grown into a responsible, self-confident and compassionate young woman.

Sixteen years ago today we had a tough day. There have been quite a few tough diabetes days every year since then. But, from time to time, it's worth counting our blessings.

Medical Scam. Metformin. December 21, 2018

Researchers have discovered that metformin, a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes, might also be used to treat a common heart failure syndrome that is predicted to affect over 8 percent of people ages 65 or older by the year 2020. The study shows that metformin relaxes a key heart muscle protein called titin, allowing the heart to properly fill with blood before pumping it around the body.

      Very interesting question I do have: What medical condition Metformin cannot treat?  Ask doctor and no one would have the answer. Why? Because of Metformin can treat all medical condition, and cure all and any diseases. May Metformin cure death body? Ask doctors, and they will answer: "Yes, it may."
     Now, every one diabetic type 2 start treatment with Metformin. all pre-diabetics take Metformin to improve level of sugar. Diabetics type 2 are 95% of Diabetic population. The question is, why diabetes is number 7 cause of Death in America and number 4 cause of Death in NYC?  Who are they, those diabetics who die because of high or too low sugar in blood, only the way how diabetes would be in Death Certificate pointed. All those deaths are 100% preventable. Why 80,000 Americans die every year, and it is only to diabetes. The number of diabetics who die to any cause of death is over 200,000.
    Remember, Metformin is number one doctor's choice.

" Drugs are not recommended by physicians like Professor Naunyan, the Nestor of diabetic treatment, or by those concerned in the recent advance in diabetic treatment in country.
     Drugs are not prescribed with purpose of lowering the sugar in the urine in most famous of our large hospitals. Drugs, however, are often useful to relieve special symptoms. Theocin and diuretin will often remove an obstinate edema within two days.
   On the other hand, drugs are frequently recommended by those who have proprietary preparations to sell."
Diabetic Manual for the mutual use of doctors and patients by Elliot P. Joslin.
Lea & Febiger Philadelphia and New York. 1919. 

 This book published in 1919. 100 years ago. Insulin was not discovered yet. All medicine physicians could suggest was only diet. Today we are really live in advanced time and medicine is widely available for diabetes treatment. The most important point in all the medicine to address to treat diabetes type 2, it take time to kill victim.This is why diabetes still progressive in present time. Over 130 different names of insulin is available to use. But for diabetics type 2 there is only one in common use, Life style modification and metformin. How effective this treatment? Take a look at mortality table published by CDC. How use your own brain, is this really true that Metformin will prevent heart attack and keep heart able to push blood? Think twice.
     Metformin is toxic. The benefits of this highly commercial drug very doubted. The side effects are severe.
    But anyway, side effects take time to be developed.
