I’m type 2 diabetic and recently my blood sugar levels have gone completely dolally! I’ve been seeing levels up to and beyond 300 ( )

That being the case, I decided that I absolutely had to do something. I decided to try not eating or drinking anything other than unsweetened black coffee, green tea; no milk or sugar, until my blood sugars dropped to around 100. Initially, this took most of the day and I got into the habit of not eating anything until about four or five in the afternoon. After a few days of this I noticed that my blood sugars were very seldom climbing much over 100 and I decided therefore that it would be a sensable thing to keep trying this to see if I could improve my body’s sugar management in the long term. I have only been doing this for about a week and already, I have seen extraordinary improvements in my bodies ability to manage carbohydrate intake! What I really didn’t expect was that it would happen this fast. I wear constant blood glucose level monitoring devices so I know from minute to minute exactly what my blood sugars are doing. I have noticed that if I eat something a bit sugary now, my blood sugar starts to rise after a few minutes but then drops back again extremely rapidly so the daily graph of my blood sugar looks a bit like a saw blade up down up down, up down, up down, but only by the tiniest amount. This I suspect is what people’s bodies who don’t have diabetes blood sugar management looks like; a spike on sugar intake followed by a rapid damping down of the blood sugar level as the pancreas excretes insulin. I’m sure my endocrinologist would be horrified if I told her what I was doing however having said that, it does seem to be working and the very high blood sugar levels like I was experiencing a few days back are definitely dangerous for one’s general health but are a thing of the past since I adopted this diet.

Allegedly, the type of fat that is deposited in both the pancreas and liver is the absolute first to get burnt up if one reduces one’s calorie intake drastically. I am assuming therefore that that is precisely what’s happening when I do my daily fast until 1700 hours I guess the question is do I find it hard and the answer is: no, I don’t actually. I think the best way to put it would be it feels a little bit uncomfortable and that really surprises me because I would have thought not eating for the whole day until later afternoon would have caused the most appalling hunger pangs but that seems not to be the case. In fact what has happened is that my appetite seems to have almost disappeared when the time comes to eat I’m really not that hungry at all and I have no desire for a huge or for even a normal size meal I almost have to force myself to eat something.

By way of explanation for those unaware of his work, I would cite Prof. Roy Taylor who discovered that many, even most type 2 diabetics owe their illness to nodules of fat deposited both in the pancreas and the liver. These nodules of fat, he hypothesizes, are the primary cause of most type 2 diabetes and when they are reduced or eliminated the body’s mechanism for managing blood sugar levels is restored and effectively type 2 diabetes is cured or at least put into a remission. My guess would be that what I have achieved is a significant reduction in the amount of those fat nodules. What strikes me a truly astonishing is that I have seem the effects so fast!

I've send out some emails. Even if my country officially opposes, it only does by 3 members. Let's push the rest to also publicly oppose it, and let them bring it up to those around them.

I used my private email, so I can receive and read any replies send back. I don't expect much, but still curious.

В госдуме, к примеру, воруют и берут взятки в долларах, так что им вообще норм. А остальным расеянцам выделят вкусный и питательный валежник, им вообще не до доллара. Особенно наплевать Владимиру Рудольфычу. Он в эфире обплевал весь микрофон. 😁
