Okey folks, I am about to write a huge NIH grant on this topic alone, so I am pretty sure I know what I am talking about
:
For type 2 diabetics--
There is the pre-diabetes phase... There is a problem with blood glucose usage from skeletal muscle and other organs... Not an insulin problem, YET... Some of the details still sketchy...
Someone said, HA1c: I have run those tests before, they are not 100% for pre-diabetics...
The established (spelled insurance paid) rule of thumb to type 2 is hyperglycemia with glucose intolerance...
Now type 2 pre-diabetics can have beboppin' levels of blood glucose. Blood glucoses spike when someone is stressed, non-fasted... They don't spike when fasted--hence the reasoning for glucose intolerance test--OGTT or IVGTT... The Drs, office might do the OGTT first...
But, they don't even begin to think that there is diabetes when the blood glucose is low and the person is passed out shaking (seizuring)... They've got to prove their logic for these tests to the insurances...
If the person seizes, then it usually means a neurological issue and they want that cleared out first before going on to diabetes--especially if none of the test symptoms are provable for diabetes--like she winds up with normal blood glucoses, etc...
It is either she wasn't tanked up enough with fuel or passed out at the site of blood and it's this onetime event...
But she needs to probably change her diet a bit (and eating habits--no McDonalds every meal), reduce the alcohol consumption
and exercise with water...
And watch that blood pressure, too... Because the main type 2 diabetic complication is stroke, if not heart attack... And there is a correlation of hypertension and diabetes...
If you are mood swinging, the exercise will minimize the swings--like weight training with cardio...
As far as dropping weight too fast, you need more protein in your diet early in the day--none of this late night snacking--not good!!!
So, your eating times must be changed...
At least, that is what is happening to my animal model I am studying for aging, diabetes and obesity is showing...
Ironically, a high carb/high fat diet affects a body differently than just a straight high fat diet... Either way, they are both bad...
Leafy green veggies with salmon or halibut... Best diet you can have... Don't ask me why...
