Diabetes
Doug:
Hi Virginia,
All the advise above is very good. Bob mentioned having good bacteria in your intestines. This is extremely important. I use a product called Renew Life and it is very good. I get the Senior formula, some of the mega doses I find to be too much. Also, drinking spring water is something that is often overlooked. You should not drink any other water but spring water, it will actually hydrate your cells. Also you may want to research Himalayan salt and look at the water mixture of the salt called sole. It can be very effective for a lot of issues.
I did listen to your song and you have a beautiful voice.
Doug

Hi my family, I want to thank you yall for the advise on how I should fight the diabetes.
I am 57 and weigh 260 pounds. As of right now I have lost 7 pounds. I drink a lot of water. Where do I get Spring water, that is really spring water? I have cut out all sugar and white breads and flour.
I wish I would have talked to yall before I bought a book telling me the same thing yall are telling me.
Doug I am glad you liked my song, but now I have found out that the name Yahshua is not Jesus' name in hebrew. what do I do?
I love all of you my family. Thank you. Virginia

High fat low carb is the way to go. A lot of information out there about it. And the best thing is you don't need a degree in body chemistry to understand it. A lot of the things they tell you to stay away from like bacon, eggs, animal fats, ect are thing that you actually can use. Why is it that our parents and grandparents ate these things and most of them were not sick and overweight and yet when we eat the way the medical industry tells us to eat were getting overweight and a lot sicker?
If you eat a lot of carbs they are metabolized quickly and turns into sugar. Your blood sugar spikes and your poor pancreas has to dump insulin because of the sugar spike and then when the carbs are quickly metabolized your blood sugar crashes and you are hungry again. Whereas if you eat things that are metabolized a lot slower such as various proteins and animal fats your sugar doesn't spike and since you feel 'full' a lot longer your not hungry again in a few hours going for more carbs/snacks.
I wanted to lose a few pounds and went mostly high fat, low carb and I was losing weight so quickly that I had to add in some extra carbs in order not to lose too much weight. Everyone is a little bit different as far as body chemistry and nutritional requirements but in 'general' a lifestyle of HFLC with moderate exercise will help you to lose weight and feel better as well as giving your pancreas a bit of a break and help to get moderate diabetes under control perhaps without any meds at all.
If I was in a situation like yours I would give it a try and since you probably have a blood sugar monitor and testing strips you can keep an eye on how your doing and see if it works for you. Here are a couple of links from a popular blogger who was overweight and went to such a lifestyle and it documents his discoveries.

Some fine advice Arion,
Yes it is true that animal fats tend to satisfy your appetite.
I would just like to add that animal fat isn't always necessary, at least not too much.
I think bacon is a bad example because of the way it is prepared; overcooked/crisp.
You can get your fat content from vegetable fats too, especially vegetable fats or oils that are produced naturally as opposed to manufactured with solvents and heat.
Whatever God hanged on a tree or vine may be meant to be eaten by humans just as it comes off of the tree.
Tree nuts such as cashews etc. if one is not allergic.
One example is olive oil that may be produced by cold pressing & used on salads.
Avocado
With nearly 22 grams of fat in a single cup of fresh avocado, you might dismiss this creamy green fruit as being too fattening. But the fat in avocados is the monounsaturated variety, packed with potential benefits. Unlike other kinds of fat, monounsaturated fats are able to raise HDL, or “good,” cholesterol, while lowering LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol levels.
This is a somewhat complicated subject and one needs to be careful to not overdue any new fad without careful planning. Often planning a new diet can be fun and entertaining. Just be patient with yourself and don't worry about it. Worry doesn't fix things, God does.

Nett:
Hello Virginia,
Have you heard of the documentary called "Forks over Knives?" If you have NetFlix you can watch it for free. Also they have a wonderful website www.forksoverknives.com with lots of information (from doctors) and lots of testimonies from people with type 2 diabetes as well and it is now gone. Also they have a lot of good recipes too.
God Bless,
Lynette
