No I'm saying that diet and exercise are a PART of it. Also everyone is DIFFERENT and the smart people with chronic and degenerative diseases will seek out EXPERIENCED Naturopathic Practitioners.
One thing that will probably help a lot and won't hurt would be to start taking Chromium with meals which helps to increase effectiveness of insulin and helps to better utilize glucose.
Again don't take my word for it. Find a decent EXPERIENCED Naturopath with a proven track record helping former diabetics and let them help you.
I'm more interested in the biochemistry here if you wouldn't mind getting into it. I understand (sort of) why diet and exercise helps type II diabetes. Controlling sugar intake will obviously help control blood sugar levels by lowering saturation rates of available insulin (for example). Weight loss via exercise helps because, as I understand it, adipose can stretch cells to the point where insulin receptors become warped (correct me if I'm wrong on this). And of course exercise will burn glucose. I'm pretty well versed on normal glucose metabolism, so we don't have to get into it.
Where I am confused is how diet and exercise, or even Chromium (I don't know anything about that) causes the beta cells in the pancreas to produce insulin. I'm not concerned about taking anyone's word for it, I just want to understand the pathology.
eta: I also read some time ago that coffee helps ward off type II diabetes. That's pretty interesting, tho, I don't understand those mechanisms either.
Um, that was a joke. Geez pull your panties out of your ass crack.
a joke by your or not. I still stand behind what i say. Have you ever read some of the posts in theSelf-Sufficiency and Preparedness board? Those guys cant wait for the day.

We've had riots and looting in the past.
Add the threat of terrorists attacking our cyberstructure..like the grid.
The government is worried. And they want you to prepare to be able to get through 3 days to over a week by yourself.
What if the grid did go down..very plausible given today's threats.
The US has many enemies and FEMA can't show up everywhere at the same time. Heck they can't even show up to one place..Walmart beat them to NO.
Are you prepared ?

Bought a new flat screen TV so that I can watch it on the news...
Of course if the nuttier nut cases in the Tea Party actually come to power I might be outside doing some not so civil unresting of my own.
You would then be part of the problem we are preparing for.
