It would be interesting to read the percentages of type 1 diabetes vs type 2 diabetes here in the USA. Type 2 can be reversed with a diet/lifestyle change. Shame on our medical experts who do NOT educate themselves on proper nutrition before seeing one patient. I know, if they teach patients how to heal themselves through proper nutrition, they would be out of a job. We all know that isn't true. People, take back control over your life, including your body. Start growing herbs, find local farmers and make a change for the positive.
Sorry about the rant. This upside down, lying to make a buck world is very trying.
Heavenly Father, please bless me and all who serve you with an extra dose of grace today. Through Jesus Christ, his son. Amen.
In America, there's an estimated 88 million diabetics. 90-95% are T2 with only an estimated 1.8 million being Type 1. 😔

Thank you, LRAD. You are awesome! This should be a wake up call to everyone to take control over your body, life and your family's body and life/lives. We can make a difference now, every day to Make America Great Again by supporting local shops, farmers, neighbors and getting involved with where you reside. Be the change locally. Help others around you to do the same, and like a wave, it will flow.
Insulin prices are outrageous in the US and unacceptable for a drug all Type 1 Diabetics need to live. Knowing from first hand experience, the only way to survive as a T1 is to be rich or to have a good healthcare plan. This is not a pharmaceutical of convince due to one's lifestyle or poor health decisions and insulin should be free. The fact that it isn't is a giant proof that the government and big pharma don't care about the citizen in need.
For those not familiar with the difference in Type 1 and Type 2, it's important to know how the primary difference. T1, often known as juvenile onset diabetes, in the public realm is a mystery as to what triggers it. Basically, ones body attacks the pancreas effectively shutting it down completely from the ability to produce insulin. Without pharma insulin, you eventually die. T1 is not from ones health choice and. It avoidable.
Type 2 got its name because it mimics T1 in symptoms but is triggered in a different way. Typically, but not always, it's ones own health choices that cause T2 and it can be controlled and even reversed completely. A T2 can produce their own insulin, but not enough to keep their blood sugars down into acceptable levels. High blood sugars comes from ingesting a carbohydrates and sugar which is converted to gluecose. Since a T2's pancreas can't produce enough insulin to keep up with their rising gluecose level, big pharma capitalizes on this and instead of promoting a diet that can help reduce the stress on a T2 patient's pancreas, they sell them a pill "to help". If the issue is never fixed, a T2 can overtime become insulin dependent.
If you know a T1 just know it's not their fault, it's unknown why they can't produce insulin, and they will die if they don't have access to pharma produced insulin.
If they are T2, typically but not always, it's due to health decisions and it CAN be reversed instead of relying on pharma pills which usually lead to becoming insulin dependent.
The fact that jabs have been free for all but necessary for none while the need for insulin for many is a daily requirement to live, yet the cost is astronomical is a travesty and unacceptable. Pharma hates us all yet needs us so they can line their pockets while crippling our livelihood and wellbeing.
You need to read The Diabetes Code. According to the doctor who wrote it, Type 2 diabetics have too much insulin, not too little, so it makes no sense to give them more insulin on top of that.
It very well could be true. If a T2 has too much insulin on board, then their body is not using the insulin properly to keep their high gluecose levels down. In the end, the result is the same which is poor health. The way to combat this is still the same too. A proper diet and lifestyle can combat this without the need for pharmaceuticals.
Read the book. He explains it all and it's very reader friendly. He recommends intermittent fasting and goes into detail about carbs, various fats, proteins. His first book is The Obesity Code and he explains in both why we had an explosion of obesity and Type 2 diabetes starting in the '60s.
Oh I get it. T2 can fairly easily be prevented and reversed for most. My family and I don't have any issues with T2. My post was to bring awareness about T1's because they are often looped in with T2's because people don't understand T1 is not a self inflicted preventable disease.
Yes, he's only addressing Type 2. He explains the difference between the two and why Type 1 diabetics need insulin.
My doctor said I should stop consuming white things: salt, sugar, flour, rice, potatoes, pasta, etc.
Just think of sugar as a toxin, which it is when concentrated amounts are ingested. Our bodies just can't handle it. This leads to Metabolic Syndrome, whose endgame is diabetes type II. And remember that starch becomes sugar in the body. So that bagel you eat in the am is a big dose of sugar.
