Anyone will tell you I love to be a guinea pig. <br /><br />If I only I could get more involved in the research end of things. I could read sites and information like that which you provide for days on end and never get enough; truly fascinating. I don't really have the time or money to go to med school. They don't offer any diabetes certs for the "lay" person. In the mean time I will continue to do what I can and offer myself as a sacraficial lamb at some point.....maybe I can be in the Bodies Exhibit one day!Russell Demczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511045155053469914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578430035392716172.post-81540978903126504392010-01-11T08:29:46.892-08:002010-01-11T08:29:46.892-08:00Well that fits me; when I do something, I do it al...Well that fits me; when I do something, I do it all the way..apparently diabetes is no exception! <br /><br />You think that's high? You should see my readings after a trip to the CBK(China Buffet King)! I guess all those years of general tso's and drinking 75-100 oz. of milk a day may have fianlly done me in. Milk was the other thing I cut out entirely 3 years ago after seeing all the information about a high incidence of type I in infants exposed to cows milk before the age of 1. Supposedly all the symptoms went away after 6 months of removal of milk from the diet. All anecdotal of course. Not sure if removing the little dairy I do eat now(the cheese you see) would do me any good.Russell Demczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511045155053469914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578430035392716172.post-16692271593867680042010-01-11T07:40:23.593-08:002010-01-11T07:40:23.593-08:00I suspected an insulin deficiency right away when ...I suspected an insulin deficiency right away when I saw those 2-hour postprandials higher than the 1-hour level - that and the fact that you are not overweight, are so young, and have such high bloog sugar levels. You're not just diabetic, but uber-diabetic. If you are truly insulin resistant and hyperinsulinemic, your insulin still functions but usually on a major delay. From what I understand, a typical type 2 will have a huge surge in blood sugar early on, but it typically comes crashing back down in the 2nd or 3rd hour unlike yours, which needs a space suit at levels that high. <br /><br />Interested to see what the doc says.
