Who has influenced your sah/woh
| Thu, 02-09-2006 - 2:39pm |
opinion to DIFFER. What I mean is--is there anyone on this board or in real life whose opinion/reasoning/debating/facts started to make your thinking more to the middle? As in if you thought sah or woh was best & then after some discussion/thought, you began to think that whatever is best for each family--really there is no one best way, etc.
We just really needed a new thread here!!!!!!!!

"As my edocrinologist has explained, you can't "head off" Type II Diabetes. it isn't caused by obesity; obesity is simply a common vehicle by which Type II Diabetes makes itself known. Type II is genetic;
"Type II diabetes generally occurs because of a metabolic failure at the cellular level, a condition spurred by poor diet, obesity, environmental factors, and genetics. Body tissues, such as cell receptor sites, lose their sensitivity. As insulin attempts to deliver glucose into the cell, the "key no longer fits the lock." Blood glucose, barricaded from the cell, accumulates in the bloodstream. Unlike Type I diabetes, insulin therapy is usually not indicated in Type II diabetes because typically these individuals already have too much insulin in their bloodstream. However, after an extended period of excess insulin secretion, the pancreas may lose its ability to produce insulin and a Type II diabetic may then become insulin dependent.
In Type II diabetes, the onset is usually after 40 years of age, but the onset can occur at any age. In fact, the incidence of Type II diabetes among 30-year-olds has gone up over 70% in the last decade. Physicians are increasingly reporting the diagnosis of Type II diabetes in teenagers, as well. The number of teenagers (an age group not normally targeted) being diagnosed with Type II diabetes indicates that a diet structured around high glycemic carbohydrates causes chronic states of hyperinsulinemia. A poorly selected diet, along with a lack of exercise, increases the risk of diabetes and premature cardiovascular disease."

I never said that. I said if your aim is to reduce the simple carbs your daughter gets in the evening, giving her something with 2 to 3 times the amount of carbs that the thing you're avoiding isn't the way to go about it. An apple has MORE simple carbs than bread. Period. Add peanut butter which *also* has carbs and you haven't aided your cause one bit.
Talk to me later when you're calm and rational enough to discuss this factually and without all the hysterics. BTW, thanks for the link that confirms everything I've said.

You are right about the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Another difference is that in Type 1 diabetes you will always need to control your insulin through injections. The disease is life-long. You can control the horrible effects of Type 1 diabetes by having really good control over your insulin regualtion. I cannot tell you how many people I have sene in the ER with horrible ulcers, sores, diminished eyesight, etc. from poor control of their diabetes. Losing a limb is not that uncommon in those with type 1 (or poorly controlled type 2 either).
Type 2 diabestes can be controlled through oral meds (though some people can have it bad enough toneed the injections) or just my diet and exercise alone. My father got type 2 diabestes when he was 50 y.o. He was very overweight. He lost 50 lbs. and no longer needed to take his oral meds for the diabetes. He was able to control it through his diet and exercising.
I guess my point is there are things you can do to cnotrol type 2 diabetes without meds than you can with type 1 diabetes.

One of the reasons, yes. The primary reason, no.
