Diabetes is usually a preventable disease.Moderate weight, low sugar, and moderate carbs will drastically reduce your chances of becoming a Type 2 Diabetic.
I was diagnosed in 1987 with Heart Failure, Diabetes 2, chronically high blood pressure and Permanent Atrial Fibrillation. I have massively enlarged left and right atria, plus other damage to my heart. I live down in South Florida and, I guess, had dieted too long on Cuban and Nicaraguan food, including full plate steak on a plate full of curly fries, with sweet plantains for dessert! Also worked for a large corporation that wined and dined me quite often! Miss it!
That said...
As my health deteriorated I started doing something about it. I wanted to track down why my blood pressure was too high. I took my blood pressure an average of 7 times a day (for many years, 31000+ readings) and linked my high blood pressure to my diet and to chemicals and allergens and other irritants.
I went on a small meal, low calorie, low carb, low glycemic, balanced diet of 6-7 meals per day. End result... annual blood pressure daily averages of about 122/72 all day long! Sugar always in healthy range. Heart and health doing very well.
I monitor my results by my blood pressure and my blood sugar and my symptoms. For instance, if I start feeling off, one of the things I test is to lower my carbs regardless of my blood sugar readings.
Anywho... just wanted to share my story.
Regards, Bob
