So, diabetes only strikes fat people eh? NOT
Jenny wrote:
I became a type II diabetic long before I had a weight problem, developed the weight problem as a result of blood sugar swing-induced hunger, I was just asking someone if they thought the blood sugar swing was somehow responsible for inducing hunger. lost the weight, losing the extra fat on my body was a very difficult thing for me to do. chocolate knows my name and keeps yelling JIM JIM JIM. I told chocolate to shutup. stayed diabetic, and am currently at a normal BMI and body fat level and still diabetic. someday I hope a real cure is available. The first time I was diagnosed with "prediabetes" on a glucose tolerance test I weighted 108 lbs. Lots of people do become diabetic because of overweight, but some of us have genetic problems that cause the syndrome too. -- Jenny you have a pretty name. |

Most definitely. Liz diabetes can strike ANYONE. their size is not a factor. what I'm finding from my research is that once people go to the insulin needle they begin to gain weight. seems some have spoken of this blood sugar swing-induced hunger as being a real an influencing cause of the weight gain. I mean damn if having contracted diabetes was not enough to mess up a life but good, then we have to add in the disadvantages of being over weight too. |

Most definitely. Liz diabetes can strike ANYONE. true. their size is not a factor. false, for type II. what I'm finding from my research is that once people go to the insulin needle they begin to gain weight. usually Type II diabetes is initially controlled without insulin. seems some have spoken of this blood sugar swing-induced hunger as being a real an influencing cause of the weight gain. I mean damn if having contracted diabetes was not enough to mess up a life but good, then we have to add in the disadvantages of being over weight too. diabetes is bad, mkay? All the more reason to prevent weight gain when you have the chance. prior to 20th century medicine, diabetes was fairly quickly fatal (choose one of: seizures, renal failure or infectious gangrene) and such maintenance problems were not relevant. |
