diabetes....
eye was overweight.... most of my life.... after highschool.... in college.... eye started putting on the pounds.... of course eye did.... eye stopped growing.... eye stopped running.... and.... the dorms gave me an unlimited supply of junk food.... eye started gaining weight.... and eye did not look back....
somewhere around two thousand.... eye was diagnosed with depression and paranoia.... eye was put on prozac and a small amount of zyprexa.... eye started gaining more weight.... and then.... three years later..... around two thousand three.... eye was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.... they took me off of prozac.... kept the low dose zyprexa.... and put me on depakote.... eye started gaining more weight.... ultimately.... eye got up to two hundred and forty five pounds.... but.... eye had not been diagnosed with diabetes.... around two thousand thirteen.... eye became paranoid.... went off the depakote.... and proceded to lose weight.... a few months later.... eye became manic.... and decided that eye needed to fast.... for forty days and forty nights.... eye only made it twenty three days.... but eye lost a shit load of weight.... with the combination of no drugs.... diet.... capped off by a fast.... eye lost fifty pounds.... yay.... but then.... about a year later.... eye became manic again.... was thrown in the mental hospital.... and then forced on a HIGH dose of zyprexa.... within three months.... eye gained back all of the weight that eye had lost.... eye was back up to two hundred and forty five pounds.... and.... eye became diabetic.... my a one c was a seven.... clearly in the diabetic range....
was it the zyrpexa that gave me the diabetes.... or being obese.... or both.... eye was two hundred and forty five pounds for years.... without being diagnosed with diabetes.... but.... after being on a high dose of zyprexa for a few months.... eye was diagnosed with diabetes.... was it the zyprexa.... or the weight.... food for thought....
when eye was diagnosed.... my doctor wanted to put me on metformin.... even back then.... eye was not big on pharmaceuticals.... eye wanted to limit my use of pharmaceuticals as much as possible.... so.... eye asked my doctor.... what if eye lose the weight.... she said that would work to.... so.... eye started to lose weight.... eye started working out.... and eye lowered my calorie intake.... because eye was still on a low dose of zyprexa.... which slows down the metabolism.... eye had to eat less than fourteen hundred calories to lose weight.... it took me several years.... but eye lost the weight.... eye lost eighty five pounds and got down to one hundred and sixty pounds.... eye also changed my diet.... eye cut out sugar.... and eye ate far less carbohydrates.... eye was succesful in achieving my goal.... my a one c dropped to five point two.... well within the normal range....
just a quick side note.... please do not tell me that eye do not know what it is like being a lady.... in this instance.... eye think eye know what it is like.... a man can eat twenty five hundred calories a day.... and maintain weight.... and.... a woman can ONLY eat two thousand calories a day.... and maintain weight.... not fair.... right.... it is harder for a woman.... let us not forget.... you also have a smaller stomch.... but.... put that aside.... my point is.... eye had to eat less than fourteen hundred calories to lose weight.... because the zyprexa slowed my metabolism.... eye had to consume less than fourteen hundred calories.... for five fucking years.... yes.... it took me that long to lose the weight.... and.... my metabolism still has not recovered.... my core temperature is ninety seven point three.... kbco.... and.... my metabolism is still slow.... eye still think that eye am consuming around fourteen to eighteen hundred calories a day.... still less than the average woman.... so.... please please please.... do not tell me that eye do not know what it is like to be a woman.... and.... have to constantly watch my calories.... eye think.... in this instance.... eye can say.... you do not know what it is like.... to be FORCED on a drug.... the slows down you metabolism.... so much so.... that you have to eat like a squirell.... again with the spelling.... eye am such a dumbshit when it comes to spelling.... eye think that sia might know what it is like.... but eye bet most of you do not.... do not worry.... eye still give you cudos for that whole pregnancy thing.... eye do NOT know what it is like to be pregnant.... and pop out a watermellon....
back to diabetes.... eye had achieved my goal.... however.... eye had not achieved the goal that eye really wanted to achieve.... eye had managed my diabetes at this point.... but.... eye had not cured it....
in order to achieve my goal.... eye cut out sugar and simple carbohydrates.... my main source of carbohydrates was only from vegetables.... non-starchy vegetables....
eye had lost the weight.... eye had reduced my a one c.... but.... was my diabetes actually any better..... my fasting blood glucose numbers were still high.... between one hundred and ten and one hundred and twenty.... and my blood glucose levels two hours after meals.... were also high.... around one hundred and forty.... and.... eye was eating meals low in simple carbohydrates....
had eye done anything to heal my pancreas.... had eye done anything to heal my liver.... had eye done anything to increase my insulin sensitivity.... eye think not.... eye was keeping my blood sugar low.... by eating less simple carbohydrates.... my body had not been healed.... eye was just making it easier for my body to keep my blood sugar low.... but.... eye had NOT cured the diabetes....
so.... as eye have mentioned before.... eye had h pylori and bad bacteria and yeast and fungal infections and parasites in my gut.... eye have successfully killed many of them.... but eye still have klebsiella pneumoniae.... and streptococcus.... and candida.... in my gut.... and.... eye had all of these bad bugs in my body for over ten years.... so.... eye am thinking.... eye have killed many of the bad bugs in my gut.... but.... eye might still have these bad bugs all over my body.... in my thyroid.... in my pancreas.... in my liver.... in my prostate.... on my skin....
so.... one of the theories that eye am working off of right now.... is that these bad bugs are still in my pancreaas and liver.... and they are inhibiting the function of both the processes of the pancreas and the liver somehow.... AND.... if eye kill all of these bad bugs.... eye might actually CURE my diabetes....
eye do not believe in autoimmunity.... look for an upcoming chapter on autoimmuity.... eye do not think.... as one person says.... the immune system gets confused and starts attacking good cells in the body.... for no reason.... eye think that the immune system has good reason to attack the body.... eye have read.... that some bad bacteria.... can get inside of the cells.... and cause havoc.... and eye have read.... that the immune system.... might not be able to get into the cell.... to kill the bad bacteria.... so.... my theory.... is that the immune system..... kills the cell that contains bad bacteria.... apoptosis.... in order to kill the bad bacteria.... and keep it from spreading.... and perhaps.... if the bad bacteria spreads to neighboring cells.... faster.... than the immune system can kill the cells containing the bad bacteria.... than you end up with less cells.... less cells to produce insulin in the pancreas.... for example.... but.... if you can help the body.... kill off these bad bacteria.... without killing the cells.... the immune system can get ahead of the bacteria.... and kill more bacteria.... than the bacteria is spreading.... and the body can produce more new cells.... faster than the immune system is destroying cells.... and eventually.... you can have more good cells in the pancreas.... with the ability to produce insulin....
so.... eye am taking all kinds of antimicrobials.... still.... cinnamon berberine taurine manuka honey clove garlic and echinacea.... eye plan to do this for several months.... the bad bugs have been running wild in my body for over ten years.... so eye am going to be patient.... it might take years.... to kill all of the bad bugs in my body.... to kill all of the bad bugs that might be in my pancreas.... reducing my pancreases ability to produce insulin.... to kill all of the bad bugs in the liver.... that might.... somehow.... be telling the liver to produce too much sugar at times.... because the bad bugs like a high glucose environment.... it makes them stronger....
eye am seeing some signs of success.... my morning blood glucose levels have been coming down.... my fasting blood glucose was ninety four the other morning.... that is the first time that eye have seen a reading below one hundred.... in years.... and my fasting blood glucose was one hundred and ten this morning.... eye am still seeing some fasting blood glucose levels in the high one hundred and twentys.... but the trend is moving down.... when eye started taking cinnamon and berberine.... eye had a fasting blood glucose of one hundred and sixty.... eye have not seen anything anywhere close to that.... since eye started taking cinnamon and berberine....
if you have not noticed.... eye am the eternal optimist.... eye think that eye can heal my pancreas and liver..... and eye think that eye can get my AVERAGE fasting blood glucose below one hundred.... stay tuned.... eye will keep you updated.... this book is an evovling book.... eye will update it.... eye will update this chapter.... when eye have more information....
