[Diabetes-talk] Pork and Glucose Levels

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

Good Morning:  Oh no!  Quite the contrary in fact.  This is my THEORY!  I do 
mean THEORY!  I, myself am a lover of pork.  But, although the end result of 
this is theory, there are a few true facts I do know about pork.

Pork is preserved with salt--some pork more than others.  Obviously, salt is 
not sugar.  However, salt tends to dehydrate whatever it comes in contact 
with.  If you will notice, when one is ill, usually dehydration is a symptom 
and/or factor in illness.  Also, because when one is ill and dehydrated, one 
will notice glucose levels rise higher, and depending on the extent of the 
illness/dehydration, they will rise through the roof!  Please, Alan, 
understand, obviously I'm not a medical professional.  This is only what I 
haved deduced from past experience of my own.  However, my guess is that 
you'll hear more than one of us talk along these lines in the near future 
here.

Have a great day my friend!

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Pork and glucose levels.


Has anyone ever come across information linking the eating of pork with
higher glucose levels? I ask because, for various personal reasons, I had
recently decided to give up pork altogether. As was stated in prior posts
here, my recent numbers have been very good, in the "normal" range, and no,
Mr. Freeman, this time I am *NOT* complaining about low numbers.*GRIN*.

But on Sunday, I went back on my "no pork" policy for one day. The next day
my number tested at nearly double the day before. Now, this morning, (almost
48 pork free hours later) my number is back down to normal again. So, just
out of geeky curiosity, what do you all think? Is this a fluke or a valid
idea that giving up pork can *POSSIBLY* lower your blood sugars?
