I posted a couple of months ago asking for prayers, my special needs son who is not obese was diagnosed type 1 diabetic. My second post about it was after blood testing the doctors were baffled he was not type 1, but type 2.
Happy to say he is off insulin now and numbers are staying low. He does take Metformin.
The point of this post is he has no reason to have type 2 diabetes. Except one, he has a complicated medical history and has some brain damage from it. During this time he had some anger issues. The doctors prescribed anti-depressant lexapro. We went along with it, was concerned with his anger.
We weened him off of this medication upon the news of type 2. From research into this drug I am convinced it caused his blood sugar issues. We will attempt to ween off metformin and see if he no longer has any issues after getting off lexapro.
Anti-depressants like lexapro are prescribed at extremely high levels in our society. Diabetes has increased along with it. This is just another example of big pharma and the cdc pushing treatments that are unnecessary and dangerous.

I second the question why 1%? Modern pasteurised milk isn't terribly healthy to begin with so processing it further to remove fat (which the brain needs) is probably not good. Also why brand-name junk food? Can't you feed him real food straight from the farm?
fair life has a nice label, way less carbs than standard milk, less hormones too. We do our best with what is in the grocery stores, trying to get more natural, but we are far from perfect. I don't think his diet had much to do with this episode though.
Removing fat from milk is a purely mechanical process as is homogenization. I fail to see how spinning a fluid in a centrifuge or forcing it through a screen with tiny holes will change the chemistry of the fluid.
What percentage of milk fat we need inthe milk in our diets is another question.
Pasteurization, on the other hand, involves flash heating the milk followed by rapid cooling. It is my belief that the benefits of pasteurization far outweigh the slight change in the taste of the milk that it causes. Unless, of course, you enjoy tuberculosis.
