[Diabetes-talk] A question

[Mike Freeman]

Dar:

Since when did you start believing in commercials? (grin) The 
commercials may repeat MAY be correct for some people in the sense that 
if some individuals lose weight, they will be able to control their 
diabetes with diet and exercise alone and in a few cases may even be 
able to eat a bit more carbohydrate without ill effects than they were 
able to do when overweight. However, these individuals still have 
diabetes and in all-too-many instances, once they start fudging on their 
meal plans a bit, they find that their blood glucose begins to rise 
again only this time, even if they go back to their meal plans, enough 
beta-cell function has been lost so that they will *have* to be on pills 
or insulin.

So while an individual may in a very limited sense be able to get along 
without diabetes meds in a very few instances, he/she will still have 
diabetes.

Mike

Mike keep talking,
I am not being out of line here.
We have commercials saying "if I lose weight my type two diabetes will 
be gone.
Your message says to me this is your disease, and you are stuck with it
until you go home to heaven.
Do I understand you correctly?
Now trust me, I shared with the doctor I will live to be one hundred 
smile.
I have a ways to go, but I love to laugh, smile, and help others.
The first person is me.
oh yes I also get new outfits.
Smile.
A lady has to think of that you know.
this doesn't mean I would give up, I just want to understand.
Thanks,
