Discussing Diabetes

[Nancy]

I did okay on turkey dinner with my blood sugar readings.

Only type 2 diabetes can be reversed.

I do not do so well on vegetarian meals because the seem to have more noodles and beans etc. with more carbs. than I can have per meal according to the diabetic educator.

That's interesting you mentioned that, Nancy, because as she got into the work, we talked about the title of that book being misleading. Further along on the cover it says, "In a series of studies, Dr. Barnard has found that is is possible to repair insulin function and reverse type 2 diabetes." and in the introduction is says, "The genetic traits that made type 2 diabetes possible do not go away, and type 1 diabetes requires continued insulin treatments regardless of how well you adjust your diet."

Btw, dd decided to change her title to "Type 2 Diabetes" because she just didn't have enough room in the little pages (a tri-fold, 9" x 12" was what they were supposed to use) to explain all about diabetes and the differences. The teacher said they had to have a lot of color and pictures in the brochure if they expected a good grade, so she was glad we still had some of the free magazines they'd given us at the vitamin store.
