When a person does his own homework as thoughtfully as he can it should give a satisfactory result. <br />Me and you and several others skeptics became who we are only because we have real health issues which could not be managed successfully by standard medical protocols and we have to take matters into own hands. When people take matters into own hands, they just can't stop. We are lucky - there are people who just can't be helped.<br />Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-78202905434879705232015-04-27T15:48:03.353+01:002015-04-27T15:48:03.353+01:00Hi Galina

It led to the idea that aiming for a low normal BS in diabetics was not a good idea. Somehow people keep mistaken naturally achieved results with medications achieved results. I remember discussing with Charles the benefits of statines use, and he brought up the study about healthy seniors in Japan who naturally had significantly lower total cholesterol levels than a general crowd. I thought it was not the proof that statines could improve health in anyone.

Why will the body of a person without diabetes will fight to maintain a very tight control of blood glucose numbers way below of what they recommend? But is healthy and ok for diabetics to maintain very high abnormal blood glucose levels with averages over 155 or 8.6 as they recommend. Could it be that without a low carb diet there is no way that normal numbers are possible for a diabetic even with use of very potent drugs, that show no longevity benefit.<br /><br />Yoly<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-14025237821258659442015-04-26T20:16:18.806+01:002015-04-26T20:16:18.806+01:00These are the facts on the terrible diabetes stats...These are the facts on the terrible diabetes stats.
