pe7e Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thanks for the info, its reassuring to know that their price does not really need to be taken into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 My wife takes diabetes medications that come to about $60 every 3 months with her insurance. I’ll have to bring her prescriptions with me to Thailand in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I follow the keto diet and after a few months, am now completely off the diabetes medication! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I'm predisposed for diabetes. My father has it severely, my mother has it but more manageable. For several years I've been taking things that help with blood sugar beet supplements, dandelion tea. and other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on ya. I'm no expert, my absolute feeling, is that the high sugar diet, westerners have is responsible, with anecdotal evidence thus :: My mum, was diabetic for a long time, her failings were alcohol, white bread, sugar, any simple carbohydrates. When she was hospitalised for Stroke, (eventually stroking out over a months long period) her diet was normalised and her diabetes went away. Personally, I have good success with the Ketogenic approach and if I can control my carbohydrate intake, I get quite slim and attractive to women. Meat and cheese only, can be quite smelly, which is where Som Tam / Tam Mahk Houng comes into play. Also leafy greens and raw unripe produce, is great. Sweet fruit, not so much. Steve, I know you've been in depth, on the things you've mentioned, I'd be worried about beet supplements having sugar in them. We have to remember that prior to industrialisation, the average Joe would only get sugar in any quantity, when he came across a tree full of ripe fruit, so, fleetingly, in a year. And our digestive system has evolved over what? 900 million years, when groups of cells began to clump together and formed (prolly by accident) tubes that allowed the nutrient rich water to flow through them. These tubes later became known as flat worms, that were just a mouth at one end and an arse at the other. Every animal with a digestive tract evolved from these.
