Anyone have diabetes?

Disclaimer: I don't know much about diabetes, but I suspect that it is likely to be symptom of bigger underlying health issues. Advice given here is mostly based on what I do.

Don't use vegetable oils, especially canola oil. Perhaps switch to organic olive oil and coconut oil.

Also consider cutting out all GMO foods. For example soy sauce is most likely made out of GMO-soy. Highly poisonous stuff.

Perhaps, get into cooking soups. Instead of throwing all the vegies into the frying pan, you just add water and cook it as a soup. You can add beans such as chickpeas for protein.

Also always be testing! Become super aware of how diff food, or supplement or exercise or whatever, affects your condition.

BTW, standing instead of sitting in front of the computer is a great idea. I haven't done it myself yet, but my brother has.

Btw, you probably do not get much sun and probably have Vitamin D deficiency. Get out on the sun daily and/or buy Vitamin D lamp. I have found using Vitamin D lamp boosts energy a lot.

Basically, if you really wanna be healthy in today's world, you only have one choice: become passionate about health, nutrition and everything related to this. You gotta research deeply and test, test, test. With amount of toxins in our environments right now, you just gotta do it, in order to survive.
 


Soooo... you been to the doctor yet?

Yeah, went yesterday. She seemed more concerned with practicing her English than helping me though. Apparently educated in Australia, and travels to conferences around the world, so needs to her English to up par. heh, fuck...

I'll give it a few days of logging my blood sugar, and if I still feel like shit, will e-mail them to her. If she still doesn't want to help or search for something wrong, I'll find another doctor.
 
Honestly man, just get to he doctor's and have a full physical done, with a blood workup checking your pancreas, liver and kidney functions, uric acid levels, get your blood pressure done, etc. etc. No point in us speculating here. Go seek a professional to find out what the problem really is.

Didn't she recommend some tests like the ones Brad mentioned?

If I were you, I'd go to the best doctor/facility in Thailand and take it from there.

Since Thailand isn't a 1st world country, most smaller cities probably don't have amazing doctors, so driving/flying to a larger city might be a good idea. I know next to nothing about Thailand and its medical system, all I know is this: trying to save a buck when it comes to health-related stuff is always a bad idea.
 
Just bought one of those blood glucose test kits, and got 138 mg/dL, and A1C of 6.6. Well, I guess that explains it.
Go to a doctor, home testing kits for medical stuff are terrible. On a home BP machine, my BP ranged from dangerously low to heart attack-high in the space of ten minutes. My mum got a cholesterol home test too, that was all over the place. Yours may be different, but it's definitely worth seeing a doctor.

Correct and you can get some of the best care in the world in Bangkok.

Glucose meters are actually very good these days. They are sold on the razor blade biz model, so they give away (some times literally) the meter and the test strips are absurdly expensive. But all major maufactors of them are very reliable (Bayer and Lifescan being the big names in the US).

But yes, go to the doctor.
