I don't think it's that simple. No, I'm pretty sure I wasn't eating too much fat, and what fat I was eating was saturated. But I only started eating this way in November, so there's probably still a lot of PUFA's floating around.schultz said:Diabetes is caused by excess fat. Maybe you were eating too much fat?
Yes, I'm thinking that period of overwork I mentioned might have had something to do with it.schultz said:maybe something has shifted your body over to more fat oxidation?
HaHa! No, I've never thought your posts came across that way at all. No need for emoticons! You just seem likeschultz said:I've started to realize I come across as a bit judgy/confrontational in my posts... that's not my intention! I just like discussing this stuff. Maybe I'll start using more emoticons
a really smart guy. I appreciate your input.
How cryptic. I was scared sh*tless, now I'm scared blind AND sh*tless.jyb said:...if you confuse all FFA together then your only treatment available becomes an attempt to low dietary fat & experiments with glucose metabolism cofactors like B vitamins and drugs like aspirin in the hope that glucose oxidation resumes. Good luck if it doesn't.
Finally got a blood glucose monitor that works. All the readings so far have been in the 400's. Geez, this is really f**king serious. No one in my family has ever had diabetes. I don't know anything about it. But apparently I have it. I'm kind of freaked out right now. When I google those numbers, it says I should go to the emergency room! I don't want to do that. Need to get blood work done. I emailed Ray today to ask for his help, at least in terms of getting and evaluating blood work. Waiting for his reply.
