MY BEST LIFE.

why should I bother to fight T2D. I can drink the Kool-Aid (albeit diet) that Big pharma is selling, and use insulin to manipulate my blood sugar levels.

If only it were about blood sugar levels, alone!

Insulin use to force sugar into cells, and to force fat (triglycerides) into damaged & dead fat cells is a recipe for other organ dysfunction.

Most of you have heard of these damages. They are erroneously named “Diabetic Complications” as if the T2d is the cause.

Example? Diabetic Nephropathy. This is chronic kidney disease with a correlation to T2D.

Any scientist will tell you correlation does not prove causation.

The fact remains. People with Diabetes are more likely to develop CKD aka Diabetic Nephropathy as a result of allowing their T2D to progress.

My best life does not include Kidney disease, restricted diet or Dialysis.

why bring this up? It was arbitrary, we could have discussed any complication with diabetes in front of it.

Diabetic Retinopothy (blindness)

Diabetic Neuropathy (nerve disease)

Or other diseases that are attached in a correlative fashion to T2D.

T2Ds, like us are 3x more likely to visit an ER this year, versus non diabetics our age.

My best life does not include trips to any Emergency Room.

So, avoiding all of the issues and life changing complications by halting T2D is the first step in my walk back to good health.

Ditching Denial is an important part of this.

It is important enough to blog about. But right now? I’m taking my wife out to a great dinner. I’LL POST LATER
