More and more studies are showing people who can't get their blood sugars under control are getting Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and even Mad Cow Prions. There's something about high Blood Sugars and high Insulin levels and Plaques forming in the Brain. Here's a couple of studies on this for those interested....

Those articles are kind of scary. My blood sugar has been all over the place and the doctor and I can't seem to get it to settle down.

6 months ago, I kept getting low readings and the doctor almost reduced my insulin. Then all of a sudden, they were reading high. Consistently high. So he increased my insulin. Didn't do a thing for me. So he increased it again. The last couple of weeks I've hit over 500 on several readings. Just can't get it under control.

I've been saying (and writing) for years that pesticide are killing our society. I am a victim of heavy metals poisoning from working closely with products manufactured in China. I suffered from symptoms of alzheimers, Parkinson's, and type 2 diabetes. After tree years of chelation therapy and a lot of weight training and exercise I am cured except for a minor tremor in my hands from permanent nerve damage. I sure wish more people would read, think and learn all they can about heavy metals and how we are getting exposed to them in massive quantities.

Thanks for the important post "6ft 3"

Yeah glad to post it.....It's amazing how insidious having high insulin and blood sugar levels are to our health and the diseases coming out of all of this. Looks like our DNA is unsure how to deal with these Transfats and High Fructose Corn syrups etc..as these newly created food molecules are playing havick with us.....

Not good, jgussler. I found my sugars have become brittle lately. Either way too high, or bottoming out. My problem is I eat too much when I do eat. For me, its always my diet. I walk and lift weights. But apparently not enough.

Lately, I have been going to the hospital every day and let me tell you something, the amputees and foot sores at the wound clinic will motivate you big time. That is one sad, scary place!

Good luck with your sugars.

Moderator cut: website removedDiabetes has become a house hold name. I found three things that all contribute to this disease, Sugar, MSG, and Gluten. [/quote]

Here's a fourth to add to the list and that's ''High Fructose Corn Syrup''....
