11 Year Diabetes Check Up
When I began this journey the medical industry claimed diabetes was a debilitating disease with deteriorating health and increasing pain and suffering. Once again… they were wrong. It doesn’t have to be that way
Blood Sugar Test
Very Low Fat Diabetes Experiment: Phase 1
My personal daily goal: Obtain and maintain truly normal blood sugars. Note: I am content to eat, play and LIVE as I do today… for the rest of my life. But I LOVE to experiment! And if I can help others find a means to improve their insulin sensitivity and improve their blood sugar levels, …
24 Hours of Le Steve
Have you heard of, “24 hours of Le Mans!?” … this is nothing like that. LOL! :)
This post will be pictures of blood sugars, activities and foods for one day. I’m going to try to take blood sugar readings every hour or two once the day begins. Hopefully it will be more helpful and inspirational than the race.
Purpose: To educate, motivate … and perhaps entertain. :)
Note: At the end of this post is a Google Doc that is embedded in the sheet. Just ‘refresh’ the page to see ‘real time’ results. Isn’t this exciting!!! :)
Blood Sugar Readings: Thriving Diabetic
Displaying a 12 or 24 hour flat line creates a stark contrast to the typical diabetes roller coaster; the soaring highs and crashing lows are harmful physically and mentally as people attempt to maintain control.
eXcellent eXercise eXperiments
Brad, knowing how much I hate to lose, in an attempt to console me adds,
“I guess your age is catching up to you finally.”
What the hell???
Brad meant well when he said this, but to me … it was like sticking a hot stake into my eye!
Water Fast
For decades ‘nutritional science’ has been little more than the marketing arm for Big Food and Big Pharma. It’s time for true science to rule the day and to remove Big Food and Big Pharma’s influence.
Butter Only Fast 2015 Days 1 and 2
Does this mean that coconut oil is a better fat compared to butter for reducing elevated blood sugars?
That’s what my current experiment is out to determine.
Fat Fast 2015 Intro & First 48 Hours
That’s ironic when you think about it. Almost all diabetics have elevated blood sugars (above non-diabetic normal blood sugars) and I had to end an experiment due to low blood sugars.
There is a lesson there, if you are paying attention.
Day in the Life: Primal Diabetic
I love the way I eat.
I love the way I play.
I love the way I live!
I am NEVER going back to the way I use to eat and live… NEVER!
21 Day Blood Sugar Experiment, Boom! Pow!
I spent 30% of my time with my blood sugars in the 70’s and the remaining 70% of the time with my blood sugars between 80-100 mg/dl.
Day in a Diabetic Thriving Life
Blood sugars are THE single most important health number for diabetics, IF you eat like me… mainly fatty meats, leafy green vegetables, eggs, coconut oil and butter…
Diabetes Day in the life
I live very much like a non-diabetic ….
I THRIVE and not ‘just’ survive.
JOIN ME!!! … won’t you? :)
Diabetes Experiments Update: Mr. 59 :)
Since I began taking the fibers and probiotics on 12/11/2014 my overnight fasting blood sugars have averaged 75 mg/dl.
My only numbers above 80 this year were an 82 and 83 on the 2nd and 3rd of January. :) :)
Another Experiment – Exercise And Diabetes
EVERYTHING we do is an experiment. Everything.
YOU are the results of all that you have done up to this point.
I urge you to pay attention to your experiment and try to improve your blood sugars, your health and your fitness. You will be glad you did. :)
Day In The Life of a Successful Diabetic
A post … mainly pictures of a ‘day in the life’ of a successful diabetic … me. :)
This post revolves around my latest experiment and achieving my target blood sugars.
Science, Personal Experiment: Intense X
We are all experiments! Which reminds me of this quote by Eric Savage of MythBusters.
“Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science… is writing it down.”
At least in the eyes of Eric Savage, through the years I’ve done a lot of science. I guess that makes me a … scientist … :)
Blood Sugar Meter Review
Here is what I did….
Every time I tested my blood sugar I used the ReliOn Micro and the FreeStyle Lite. In most cases I used the ‘same drop of blood’ but in all cases I used the same ‘lancet’ cut location. In other words, after pricking myself a few times I actually had to squeeze more blood out of the same ‘cut’ location.
Resistant Starch and Diabetes Experiment Day 25
My personal experiment shows the positive effects resistant starch can have on your blood sugars, therefore potato starch can help you manage diabetes. I urge you not to eat a lot of high carb foods to obtain resistant starch, but to use Bob’s Red Mill Raw Potato Starch.
Diabetes & Exercise
Diabetes & Exercise, what you need to know. Exercise is an important tool in your diabetes toolkit, you should know how to use it.
Steve Update 2-21-2012
