dialysis. Ignorant retard!!!!

Mandy and Gordo: Thank you for
your supportive posts. Generally speaking, the first step toward good health is
to stay active and eat right. Then, when something serious happens, see the
doc.

Veggies almost "killed kidneys"?
I doubt that is a legit post, because veggies will not do that, unless with end
Stage Renal Disease, you overdo it on some vitamins. But with normal kidney
function, eat 'em up, raw and organic!

64oz water/day. This time of
year, a gallon makes more sense.

My comments on the hospital
cuisine were objective. The meals were mostly carbs. I had an operation on my
lower leg. It was not amputated; I still have the whole leg. I broke it at home
and no stockingette was placed under the cast. In this case, the caregivers
dropped the ball. At another hospital, when the cast was removed, I had deep
sores all over the leg due to blisters that got infected. The infection is now
healed. No doubt, diet. lifting, and blood sugar control helped. After having
this killer almost 50 years, I still have all my limbs, little neuropathy, I can
still see, and when I recover, I will be back in the gym. I do not advocate
bypassing medical guidance. But, as Gordo rightly said, we need to know how our
body reacts to different foods and activities. For example, I tend to go
hypoglycemic after eating ice cream, so I do not. Pasta sometimes has the same
effect. The general principles for control are good; they just need to be
individualized.

a lot of diabetics forget how important
plain water is to them. Drink 8 glasses a day. Vegetables will not kill your
kidneys, but lack of H2o will. Just a thought.

Roxyann losing weight is a problem for a lot of people but your goal is
realistic and you can make it happen. 50 pounds of weight loss in 9 months means
you will have to lose approximately 5+ pounds a month. One pound of body fat is
equal to 3500 calories so each month you will have to burn or not consume 17500
calories. That means you have to adjust your lifestyle by 583 calories a day so
burn them off with exercise and continue to eat what you are eating or eat fewer
calories or work out a nice combination for yourself. Good Luck.

All I can say is that I followed his
advice and it nearly killed my kidneys. y'all do what you want.

I think Squats has some good
advice, and I hope everybody knows to seek medical advice if they have a
problem. This is a forum that people can come to and say what works for them,
and what doesnt. so please stop giving Squats a hard time, go do something
usefull.................LIKE GET A LIFE!!

I have never seen where Squats has
seriously advocated the bypassing of Knowledgable Medical Experts. I believe
that these so called experts don't understand diabetics nutritional problems as
well as many experienced diabetics. Squats has been advocating cautious
nutrition and exercise as the first step for diabetic control. Each diabetic is
somewhat different from his fellow diabetic. I advocate that the diabetic has
less complication problems if he first tries to understand how this disease
works or doesn't work on the normal functions of his body. Nutritional
understanding is paramount in diabetic control. You must know how various foods
affect your blood glucose control and what happens to your body when your BG
control is hit or miss. It is your body and you alone have the responsibility to
understand what is happening to it during highs or lows of BG. Even the most
learned of specialists can't anticipate your specific reaction to each meal that
you eat.If you could afford his presence 24hours a day every day, this
understanding would develop. You can't minimize your role in your own diabetic
control. I have been in and out of this site for the last eight years and have
not seriously disagreed with Squats on any of his basic nutritional advice. I am
not an iron pumper but envy his dedication to that form of calorie useage but at
76 years old, I don't think that it is for me. For those that know me, I am
still med free and in control after over 8 years with type 2. I still have all
of my limbs and watch my diet. I still strongly recommend that every diabetic
should have a good understanding of nutrition and how it affects the human body.
This also includes understanding how other factors affect your BG control.
Thanks Squats. Gordo

Looks to me like Squats is not going
"holistic" but eating a good diet??

In some people hypoglycemia (low blood
sugar) can turn into diabetes (high blood sugar) if they gain weight. Maybe not
the same disease..but same symptoms. Go, Squats!!! A good diet!!

Here we go again gang! He's going to
start telling you to avoid medical professionals again, even though HE himself
was in the hospital. He's going to cause someone's death one of these days by
convincing them to go holistic!

Some thoughts on vitamins...When
hospitalized recently, I was put on a nutritionless 1800 diet that was mostly
starches and sugars. Now that I am home, on the vites again! Big salads with
dark green leafy veggies, tomatoes, and fresh carrots also! 1.5-2 cups of
greens. Also broccoli florets. No wonder diabetics don't do well healing!
Nutrition problem! Squats

Hypoglycemia and diabetes are
certainly NOT opposite of each other! Hypo (low) and hyper (high) blood sugar
levels are both a part of diabetes. However, an individual can absolutely suffer
the effects of hypoglycemia without being diabetic.

I had short term memory loss for
quite a while, after about 2yrs I started to get my memory back, it took all my
strength to remember the smallest things. That was caused by low blood sugar
that wasnt treated for a while as I went unconsious, I didnt get found for quite
some time.
On Wed Aug 4 10:39:25 2004 () said:
Dear help...that MAY be
hypoglycemia...the brain uses a lot of glucose. That is low blood sugar for
sure.

I am trying to research a possible
link between habitual blood sugar lows (under 60) and mental problems from
memory loss to unexplained feelings of anger or disturbing thoughts. Got any

The cell is actually called a

Mon Aug 2 07:23:11 2004 You
obviously dont know much about stem cell research!!!! The cell is just that a

READ UP and stop trying to start a flame war on this forum.
