>> "20 or 30 days without food will resolve most symptoms in most humans." If you are a type 2, you are a diabetic due to lifestyle choices like overeating, eating/drinking high-carb foods, not excercising, smoking, etc. If you are a type 1, no matter how good you eat, you will still need to take subcutaneous injections every day to manage blood sugar, your body won't let your pancreas create insulin or glucagon. For type 1s, this is terrible advice. It won't help and will likely kill you. For type 2s, this is somewhat sound advice. While I don't imagine too many type 2s who have the discipline necessary to not do that which they have overdone for years for 20 to 30 days, a type 2 eating a lot less (or perhaps fasting entirely under doctor's supervision), it will definitely help better the situation and would be a great step in getting their diabetes under control. What I find frustrating is that this research is being done for the section of diabetics who actually have control over their diabetic destiny, simply stop being obese by any means necessary. As a type 1, I honestly resent Type 2s who do nothing to better their situation. This research is just another way for Type 2s to not have to deal with the consequences of their actions ahead of me and those like me being liberated from our sharps, glucose monitors and pumps. Wow, I am raging, better check my levels ;] |
