My dad was diagnosed as type 2 several years ago. He manages with insulin daily. He has had a stint put in to help his arteries stay clear of plaque and his doc wants his LDL level to go down a lot.
Problem is, the heart doc says no red meat or animal products, but the sugar doc says no carbs or fruits. That doesn’t leave much to live on.
I’m inclined to think sugar is worse of the two, so maybe animals fat is a better choice. However, living with high sugar can be managed better than the chance or a heart attack.
If any of you have any thoughts or suggestions about supplements or meds or diet options, I would love to hear them.
Thanks frens!!!
Honey is known to be a *insulin balancer. Don't expect drs to state or believe that though I read about it and totally believe it. The days I stick to it no *hypos. NOT diagnosed with diabetes but have a family history and it's a known side effects as such once you remove your stomach. ("Diabetes like problems").
I already live off it for my immune system (no stomach but botched surgery means no spleen).
Family history already mentioned...family have a love of sugar / desserts etc. Don't touch that shit in my opinion. My sister and I and our kids are the only ones without diabetes (although as I said since stomach gone I do get side effects like it).
Eat meat. Eat REAL BUTTER, animal fats etc Again the drs won't agree but low cholesterol scores ain't healthy and REAL food is not the problem. It's our heavy diets of sugar, artificial sugar and carbs.
Yet carbs are needed but not the levels they push.
Good luck
