Fellow, you are dreaming. Seen many like
you for over 30 years. Several I had contact
with have died after a real bad time.

Control is the name of the game. Some
of the article is good but there is no CURE.

Some American agencies keep up the Cure
routine to collect money. Five years is the
buzz word. I have lived through several five
year promises. I suggest the money is attracting
people that will never find a cure.

DeWayne - you may have missed this section in our charter:
http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/Charter.htm

"It is not intended that this group would carry commercial
messages, binaries or HTML."

That's why you're going to get a hostile reaction.

I had a glance. I'm not sure I could handle broccoli and
brussels sprouts daily for the rest of my life. Of course,
the title is pure sales hype.

I'll give you this; you're not all that far from us by the
sound of it - but we don't cost $24.95. I don't agree with
your juice ideas, or just four tests a day.

I vaguely remember you appearing here before; different
addy. I wonder how much of asd and mhd appear unattributed.
I'd be interested in chatting to you - if you weren't here
trying to make money instead of learning and supporting for
free.

Maybe I should write a book. No - cancel that. I'm too
lazy:-)

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

How many times do you test in a day?

Once you have tested different foods,
quantities, etc & know your body & food/
exercise interactions & have fairly stabilized
your diet, what exactly is the point in testing
more than a few times a week - especially
considering you are a T2 & only on Metaformin.

Hi Just

I don't disagree - but the critical point is that
conditional statement: "Once you have tested different
foods, quantities, etc & know your body & food/exercise
interactions & have fairly stabilized your diet". How many
of us actually know that? Maybe if we ate a boring routine
formula and lived a boring routine lifestyle.

I can only go by what I do myself. I accept that YMMV.

There are some days when I don't test at all now; but there
are still days when I am trying new foods or changing
exercise routines where I may test a lot more. I like
variety in my diet, so I can't assume things. Like today,
when I thought that I may now, having started on metformin a
while back, be able to have a sandwich for lunch with two
slices of multigrain. I was wrong, and had my highest
reading (8.9 - 160) for quite a while. That test led to a
couple of others to see how much I dropped after trying to
swim it off. After the pool - 6.6(119), another hour
3.8(68). Like the old days - the higher I go, the lower I
go. Later, I tried a little extra brown rice with my curry
at dinner - and that 1hr PP was OK at 6.6. So, in future I
know I can have more carbs in the evening but I'm still
restricted at noon. That was a worthwhile test, offering
more freedom of choice when dining out.

In general, these days I probably average 2-5 tests a day.

However, the OP is promoting a book for newbies. That is a
quite different situation and there I advocate testing up to
ten times daily in the initial learning phase.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
