You might research GW-501516 it is supposed to help shuttle glucose into muscle and fat cells faster.

Sometimes you canāt beat genetics.
You may have expedited the process due to life and food.
However please understand that at some point in your life you were going to be on meds, sucks it happened early on. However you finding it now and getting it under control probably saved you from having a heart attack by the time you were 50.
Now go eat, lift and live healthy
HMMā¦ I was asked to chime in here as a medical professional, though i will qualify this as emergency / trauma advanced trauma and advanced cardiac life support (adult and pediatric, pre and post hospital) and vascular access is my real expertise,
diabetes is a multifactoral and complicated problem, not all aspects can be managed with lifestyle / dietary changes. no matter how dedicated.
gastroporesis, neuropathy, decreased wound healing due to cellular metabolism and transference problems, etc,
i would STILL wager that most TYPE II diabetics would benefit form a ketogenic diet, and I would give that a try before getting on the medication roller-coaster.
i have seen it work.\
in my own family. with my guidance.
but take your blood glucose OFTEN!!!
good luck. specific questions welcomed.
^ Thanks Heavy, reason I asked you cause I know you pull no punches and speak the truth no matter what.
The paranoia that to me is running rampant about drug companies and the conspiracy between them and Drs.
After looking at the keto program I would say thatās kind of the way I eat. Lots of meat, veggies low in starch, about 80 complex carbs a day and lots of water. If its white I donāt take a bite. Bs rarely goes over 130 unless I do something dumb. Stress and getting sick really affect my be so Iām trying to keep that garbage to a minimum. I would really like to see a 5.5 a1c next month.

My bs never goes below 80.

agreed.
Derek542,
Synthetic Organic chemistry PhD used in oncology drug discovery for a ālarge multi-nationalā pharma company (kinase inhibition to be specific, although iām absolutely in love with the emerging field of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy which will hopefully make me have to find a new research field.
And i donāt believe Type-2 diabetes is a disease any more than alcoholism is a disease.

Lol. Love the menās health link.
Your field is a little different than real world issues in medicine. As in treating people at ground zero, but lets hope you are right and someone fixes the Type 2 problem.

Emma Whitehead is ground zero.
In trying to address cancer, unfortunately iām always drawn to trying to determine cause first. So many treatments for cancer do so little, that over the years i find myself more interested in prevention. Epidemiology fascinates me.
So with regards to T2 diabetes my mind works the same way. T2 is caused by an ungodly available excess of carbohydrates in modern society year round. Sugar as you and i know it did not even exist 250 years ago, now each of us consume it on a daily basis. We werenāt genetically selected for that. And 250 years genetically is nothin more than a blink selection wise.
I was born and raised in Minnesota. So now lets go back 500 years. What did people in Minnesota eat between November and May? Carbohydrates? I think not, the ground is frozen from Nov-to-Apr. Nothin grows. You eat other animals. Protein and fat. Maybe some nuts and roots, mainly other animals. Those are the genes that have been passed on.
You have heard the term āessential fatty acidsā and āessential amino acidsā which mean they are essential for survival and must be eatān because the body canāt synthesis them.
But you have never heard the term āessential carbohydrateā
Why?
Because they are NOT essential for our survival.
The body can take fat or protein and synthetically convert it to carbohydrates if need be.
Eskimos had no T2 until WE started feeding them, now its through the roof. Not to mention next to no heart disease or cancer. Vegetarianism is a luxury of civilization. And a wild diet trumps it 3 ways to Sunday healthwise.
Our bodies were simply not evolutionariliy selected to run at optimal health using carbohydrates as our main energy source non-stop year-round without cyclical breaks.
The result of doing so? Simple, a massive T2 diabetic epidemic.
And that buddy is ground zero.

p.s. Yurdun4 my last recommendation for you. Shoot and eat as many wild animals as possible.
