gphx replied to Bob's discussion 'Ketotic Sport Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"This article from the ADA Journal suggests a ketotic diet is protective against hypoglycemia. Counterintuitive but matches the experience of many.
Protective Effects of Ketogenic Diets on Signs of Hypoglycemia"
gphx replied to Bob's discussion 'Ketotic Sport Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"With vitamins there is a concept known as bioavailability. Simply put, you can take all the vitamins you want but if the body isn't able to assimilate it, they don't do you any good.
I see glucose and glycogen in T2s in a similar fashion.…"

gphx replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'FDA approves Jentadueto™ tablets for the treatment of adult patients with type 2 diabetes'"At a starting A1C of say, 8, a 1.7% improvement drops it down .136 points to 7.864. Such a minor improvement hardly seems worth the expense or risk of lactic acidosis.
One could probably get as much improvement out of a dozen jumping jacks or…"

gphx replied to dizzle's discussion 'Noticed increased hair loss in the shower. On Metformin 2x500 per day.'"Hair loss is often a common symptom of thyroid issues. Easy enough to get checked out."
gphx replied to rstern21's discussion 'CinSulin'"The thing about cinnamon is it's much cheaper in the grocery aisle. It tastes great added to baked goods, warm breakfast cereals, tomato sauces, etc. There's nothing magical about putting it in a capsule, just more expensive.
Personally I…"
gphx replied to James M's discussion 'Why is pre-diabetes reversible but type 2 not?'"Oddly in recent years 65% of newly diagnosed lung cancer patients are nonsmokers or those who quit smoking long ago. Smoking is to lung cancer perhaps as carbs are to Type 2 diabetes. Some can intake them with no issues. Others partake and get lung…"
gphx replied to James M's discussion 'Why is pre-diabetes reversible but type 2 not?'"That's one of the reasons I hate A1C. According to the NIH and other sources an OGTT result > 200 = diabetes. His was 240. The doctor used something that, often inaccurately, attempts to approximate bgs instead of the bg result right in…"
gphx replied to James M's discussion 'Why is pre-diabetes reversible but type 2 not?'"I don't believe in 'prediabetes' just as I don't believe it's possible to be just a little bit pregnant. I don't believe either prediabetes or diabetes is reversible in the sense of curable because for most symptoms…"
gphx replied to Emily Coles's discussion '5000 Physicians' Experiences with Patients with Diabetes'"MyBustedPancreas, look at it this way. At least you're not a Type 2 diabetic having T1s constantly imply how lucky you are not to have the real diabetes. That's really depressing. Thanks for sharing."
gphx replied to tomg's discussion 'Dr. Fuhrman eat for health. Good? Bad? Or neither?'"With some of our ancestral populations being agricultural in nature and others being nomadic hunters it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the genetic heritage they each left their descendants was different. Gene work just keeps on…"
gphx replied to tanstaafl's discussion 'How best to track food reactions?'"You sound like someone at the perfect receptivity juncture to read a book such as Dr. Bernstein's 'The Diabetes Solution'. I wish I'd read it at the beginning of my diabetes journey."
gphx replied to T2Celiac's discussion 'T2 and Celiac'"The good news is just about anything a celiac shouldn't eat, a diabetic shouldn't either. You get to hit two birds with one stone."

Welcome home gphx...I'm sending info related to the Canada Embassy as well, as I'm not sure where your place of residence is. The query about your employment is only served as a means to better direct you to a specific group :) But of course, not everyone is comfortable with sharing that component.
Take a peek at some the groups when you get a chance. Just go to the top of your page, and click on "Groups". Once in, you can either peruse the wide array of available groups....or simply type a specific interest in the space provided. Take in some of the blogs/discussions and take a look at the Canada Embassy page as well, by going to the headings in the aqua coloured box in the upper left hand of the home page. Click on "DHF Grassroots". Once you're in scroll down, click on "Canada embassy", and voilà! The house in the photo is where Dr. Frederick Banting lived and had his medical practice in London, Ontario, Canada...before going to the University of Toronto to work on diabetes research, and ultimately the discovery of Insulin.
