LAY OFF THE PROCESSED CARBS!
That is all. (White bread is poison)

And, as she as radically controlled her carb consumption, her blood sugar readings have normalized (and she's lost over 70 lbs).
Wait a minute - arsenic is dangerous?
Sounds like BS to me.
Im sure it doesnt have a thing to do with all the sodas and sugar people are pumping through their systems
I prefer my Arsenic with “Elderberry Wine” thank you...
Waitasec. Just today I was reading how Type 1 diabetes may actually be an evolutionary adaptation for cold weather:

That is, the higher blood levels of some of the chemicals associated with diabetes act like antifreeze.
Importantly, for every white American, 1.6 black Americans suffers from diabetes. The actual figures for black Americans may be even higher, because there is a serious shortfall in diabetes diagnosis for black Americans:

But that sort of goes against the “antifreeze” theory.
And here’s another twist: Geologically, North America is a young continent. Its topsoil is full of salts and metals. Europe is also young, and so people with European origins living in America tend to be far less sensitive to salts and metals.
However, geologically Africa is a very old continent, and most of the salts and metals have been leached out of its topsoil. For this reason, people with African ancestry are much more sensitive to salts and metals and their effects.
For example, it is known both that black children are more susceptible to injury from the intake of metallic lead than non black children, though it is generally bad for all. Black Americans also have a much higher rate of high blood pressure, likely associated with a lower tolerance for salts.
However, across the US, with its high amounts of salts and metals, the *types* of salts and metal varies considerably. In some areas, water wells cannot be drilled because of sky high arsenic in the ground water. Other places have very little indeed. But this is not limited to arsenic. It is true also of lead, cadmium (which is very toxic), mercury, uranium, chromium, thallium, antimony, copper, nickel, and selenium.
Right now, an entire city in Oklahoma has been condemned because it used to host a lead mine. People don’t have to leave, but nobody new is allowed to move in.

“It is prudent to avoid arsenic exposures...”
Do you have to have a graduate degree to come to this conclusion?
A absolute load of Hooey ! Probabilities ? odds ?
Eat less, Eat better/healthier, exercise more, much more.. Take responsability for your Own Health, it is Largely in Type-2's ability to do so !
If the majority of Type 2's would get off their collective Fat ass's and take care of them self's, rather than looking for some excuse or reason to stay in the "victim" status column, there would be less reason, that is, less call for Big Pharmaceuticals to profit from their cronic lazyness.
It is the easy way out to do nothing, and just as easy to make money of off those who choose to do nothing..
The money saved could/should be used for a Real problem.. TYPE 1 Diabetes and it's Devastating Complications.
