How does one differentiate between keeping blood sugar low with low calorie diet and exercise and the better functioning pancreas?

Speaking from personal experience, with the same diet and level of exercise I see vastly different numbers. I've been through the process twice, the second time because I injured my back and wasn't able to exercise for two months. When I restarted my previous regime I found that my numbers stabilised at a far higher range than I'd achieved previously. I went through the same diet process again (for 2 weeks) after which I returned to the same regime. My numbers are now stabilised at the lower level that I'd achieved before.

I literally can't believe how you haven't realized you can reverse diabetes and get rid of it, permanently. Not only type 1 diabetes but also type II. My friends mother had it, until she found this and now she's been cured ever since. http://thehealthspecialists.com/diabetes-destroyer

>Being overweight is tied to many diseases, and costs me a lot of money in health care costs. I have a say in this. If you have a say in this you might want to look at effective ways to push your message. We know from lots of research that merely yelling "GO FOR A JOG FATTY" does nothing to help fat people lose weight, and probably makes things harder for them.

> We know from lots of research that merely yelling "GO FOR A JOG FATTY" does nothing to help fat people lose weight Sources? That'd be some weird research. Regardless, it isn't my job to "fix" overweight people. They are welcome to their indulgences. I just do want to pay for the ill effects of bad habits. I have a feeling if they were on the hook for related costs, we'd have a different looking society.

>Regardless, it isn't my job to "fix" overweight people.

It's not your job to make judgemental comments on every single thread that mentions weight, but you never fail to do so.

Oh, completely ignoring the fact that most people who get Type-2 diabetes are genetically predisposed to it and it can also be caused by things like repeated bouts of pancreatitis and EPI. But no, let's shame everyone who is fat for being overindulgent. Maybe having diabetes wouldn't be stigmatized so much if so many Type-1s didn't participate in it as well. (Non-diabetic here, I have no dog in this fight.)

> Oh, completely ignoring the fact that most people who get Type-2 diabetes are genetically predisposed to it and it can also be caused by things like repeated bouts of pancreatitis and EPI. Considering MonadQueen said "* 60%* of type-2 diabetics" and " Obese Type-2s" (emphasis mine) I wonder where you got the idea that she as "completely ignoring" anything. > But no, let's shame everyone who is fat for being overind…

And I got banned for saying the Truth.
