For the most part, the world accepts that there's nothing besides monitoring and administering drugs that can be done for type 1 diabetics. Specifically, the drugs that are available for type 1 diabetics is insulin, and there are about a dozen main stream types. (pulled that number from my back end, but I suspect it's around there)
Type 2 diabetics are told that it's a combo of activity, diet, pills and/or insulin. Type 2 is typically onset later in a persons life, and is often, but not always relative to body weight and diet issues.
There's also gestational diabetes, where broads that are knocked up get diabetes (lately I've had this need to take my verbal hijab off)...
For ladies that are so unlucky to get gestational diabetes, it is statistic to say that they become much more likely to become type 2 diabetic later in life.
I truly believe, and am in the process of debating with several endocrinologists (diabetes specialist doctors) that there should be no difference between type 1 and 2 and that with an appropriate system in place most people would be able to eliminate the affects and symptoms of diabetes, this would depend on our system not paying huge bucks to the drug companies and pumping man made hormones into their patients - but rather encouraging the body to continue making those hormones itself. I WILL write more about this, but would like to have my next appointment with the one endocrinologist at least once more before I do. If he, or anyone can prove me WRONG, then I'll eat my words. If I write about it first, then I'd be eating a lot more of em.
I believe that with awareness of people like you, and I, and your neighbor, and the other guy down the street - we could save people a whole lot of pain by just trying to let the body work itself out, the way it's intended. I really want to reach the diabetes community, because they are likely to know more people in immediate need.
There's a lot of information out there, and in my experience it's not being accurately or effectively distributed to people here in Canada. The folks I know in your neighborhood are less aware. I don't hold this against them, but hope to help them. I was so super blessed to have parents that took great care of me regardless of the self sacrifice that it required at times - they also ensured that I learned and was educated on the things I needed to be able to live a health life as a diabetic. I hope to share with people the knowledge I've gained, and that others have also - so that perhaps I can one day meet the guy who's searching for answers, just like my Dad was when I was diagnosed with diabetes.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS than just insulin. There's a supplement that I swear by, but I need to properly display the info that I gathered on it about a dozen years back.
Everyone's situation is different. This needs to be appreciated when talking with everyone - specifically when it comes to health issues ie: diabetes, tmj disorder, depression, vertigo - whatever!
Are you on Facebook? I know a group that MAY be useful to you. Not totally sure, but it's worth a shot.
Afaik, you're on the right path. I've heard tell of folks being able to get off many kinds of meds with hard work and strict diet commitment. Farming provides both of those :)
Reject the verbal hijab. The more I listen to Jordan Peterson, the more I learn about the fire situation you guys are in up there.
Indeed farming does provide very well in those ways. Our winter is a little tougher on the body here I'd say. That being said a stationary bike is pretty attainable for most people in climates with snow... haha
I am on facebox, I'll check it out if you send it my way! I'm brock all day long. But I'm one of just a few Brock Friesens. I'm very rarely on fb, of course the phone is hooked up and so if I get a message, it comes to me.
I do believe that the university of alberta recently rejected Dr. Petersons plan to hold a lecture in their buildings..? I recall hearing about it not long ago - I could be mistaken. I don't ever, EVER pull punches. ;)
