many Many MANY THANKS! For all of the support last year. I started this blog officially in June of 2010 and each month saw an increase in views, visits etc…. so thank you for that. It is very satisfying to see the growth as the blog strives to educate, motivate and entertain. The monthly growth …
If you noticed the title of this post… “Diabetes Statistics I” , yes there will be others. There are sooo many statistics to share… This posts highlights the failed nutritional policy of the American Diabetes Association and it’s proponents such as the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) which is the “home” of Certified Diabetes …
When dentists push high carb diabetes diets, can things get any worse? I remember my childhood dentist. He was a strict no candy, no sweets adherent. Things have changed for the worst. Dentist Insurance company promotes American Diabetes Ass. high carb, grain based, diabetes diet. Dentists jump in to defend the insurance company from my …
I have not had a “hard” ADA rant in some time. (ADA = American Diabetes Association)… but make no mistake, the ADA infuriates me EVERY DAY! I was critical of the ADA yesterday in this post, click here. I won’t restate it all here but please read it. What set me off today? This “tweet”. …
For the last four months… averaging between 13 and 16 net carbs per day… and the American Diabetes Association claims you need 120 g of carbs for body function… BA HAHHAAH!!!! :)
I want to make this clear… I do not seek out people or businesses to harass. I only attempt to correct… “misunderstandings, untruths or deceptions” Often times in the course of “correcting” those issues mentioned above, the ADA Minion in question will attempt to lie or deceive further…resulting in a longer drawn out confrontation. Another …
My thoughts on this recent article in the New York Times, “Protecting Yourself From the Cost of Type 2 Diabetes” … “ONE in 10 Americans has diabetes, and if present trends continue, one in three will suffer from the disease by the year 2050, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” I agree, if we …
The picture below is the twitter page “bio” for THE American Diabetes Association. Just a quick comment before we move on to the “meat” of the post. (The ADA dislikes meat, they recommend only 5 oz per day. ) The ADA says, “… leading the fight to stop diabetes and all of it’s deadly consequences.” …
No… sadly, this was not a dream where all the people ran around in loin cloths. HA! This was a day dream concerning our national nutrition … Imagine a time when an overweight teenage boy goes to the pediatrician. The boy and his parents are sitting in the doctors office and the the doctor after …
Background: I have ranted and railed against the American Diabetes Association (ADA) numerous times. That was fun…and therapeutic but there was no “sport in it”… the ADA is an easy mark. The high carb diabetes diet they promote harms people….every day AND the ADA is paid by Monsanto, BigPharma and the Sugar Lobby for …
Ok, pretend for a moment YOU are THE MOST influential Diabetic Organization in the world and your “Healthy Living Magazine” website was sharing an article on, ‘the causes of diabetes’.
You as THE leading diabetes organization in the world have a unique opportunity to help MILLIONS, perhaps BILLIONS of people.
I was reminded of my food journal “reports” which include Protein, Fat and Carb ratios yesterday. I had not posted this in some time…. so here’s an update. (Thanks to Donna D’Souza) The report includes August and all but the last two days of September…so for practical purposes, this is a two month summary. Keep …
January 1999 I began to feel flu like sick and lost 70 pounds in 10 days. While the weight loss was great, or so I thought, I still decided to go see my doctor. I found out that like millions of people around the world, I had turned into Type 2 Diabetic. And it wasn’t …
I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic when I was 25 years old. I was taking three (3) types of insulins Novolog , Lantus and Symlin. I was also taking two drugs just for diabetes Avandia and Glucophage. I was sent to Diabetes classes at the local hospital & I had appointments with their Certified …
Before I begin, I need to define an ADA Minion for new readers. ADA stands for American Diabetes Association…. supposedly the largest advocate for diabetics in the US… yet they promote a “diabetic diet” that increases drug and insulin usage…. go figure. Minion = “a servile follower or subordinate of a person in power.” (per dictionary.com) Therefore an ADA Minion is a servile follower …
Update: Anne is my longest online friend, we have been friends since the summer of 2009. She’s been a friend, mentor and shoulder. Pay attention to her story!!! Millions of people have elevated blood sugars and are accruing cell damage daily, many unknowingly… just like Anne was. Today Anne is still THRIVING and not just surviving. …
When I first saw the word “corpulence” … I had to look it up. It’s meaning? According to freedictionary.com The condition of being excessively fat; obesity. Indeed I once suffered from corpulence… here is a picture from last year showing my 40″ Levi’s ….the picture was taken in July 26, 2009. At the time, I …
I was diagnosed as a type 2 or non-insulin dependent diabetic in September of 2009 with an average blood glucose of 355 mg/dl. I met with the “Certified Diabetes Educator” that afternoon. She showed me how to use my meter, gave me a copy of the American Diabetes Association approved food pyramid, three prescriptions and doctor’s orders …
I am ending my Fitday.com journal entries for awhile. I know… this is not FRONT PAGE news but I wanted to let everyone know who may care so they can check out the summary. (below) FYI – I changed my mind…. several people found this valuable so I will continue. Thanks for the feedback. :) …
Update: Since I originally wrote this post much has been made about the ‘money connections’ with members of the government. the medical industry should wear nascar-style jackets. government officials should wear nascar-style jackets. A suggestion was made that people in government should wear uniforms like Nascar drivers showing who is ‘sponsoring’ them. Personally I agree. …
