Guest guest Posted July 31, 2000 Report Share Posted July 31, 2000 << A friend of mine's autistic kid was diagnosed with diabetes recently. Would one suspect detoxification could help/cure this condition? >> I don't know. It is unlikely to hurt. If the diabetes is insulin dependent type then taking 500-1000 mg of niacinamide 3 times a day starting immediately may keep it from getting worse - this is recent research results that few MD's will actually tell their patients about for reasons I will leave to your imagination. The niacinamide doesn't help if it is non-insulin dependent diabetes, but that is more likely to be toxin induced and to respond to detox. It may also respond to chromium supplements.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 Andy, et. al., Have you ever heard of a toxic person with diabetes recovering from the diabetes when they detox?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Thank you and others about the kind words concerning the list. The is made up of all the wonderful people on it. From our resident Okinawan (Eddie) to our researcher (Al), to all the rest of you, my hat is off to you. In the almost two years since the list began, and we have never had one flame war, nor any name calling, obscenities, etc. which are common on other lists. That's a testament to the people who are the members. Now on to diabetes, the subject of this post: I know that is into Guar, but I'd like to suggest guar puddings to newbie who is a diabetic. Guar does wonderful things to glucose levels as detailed in BT120YD. You can learn about guar in the " Members Recipes " file and by searching the archives (the search box on the home page). But basically it's a powdered plant food that gels into a pudding texture when mixed with water; and we make it delicious by adding flavoring and sweetener. It's meant to be eaten with meals. Secondly in our new " links to other healthy recipe sites " file, we list a couple of links to diabetic recipe sites. I hope the two of you will avail yourselves of them and let us know if they're useful. on 8/29/2002 6:12 PM, Tiktin-Fanti at andreatf1@... wrote: > I must say > that this list is a wealth of information with its > products, recipes, etc Thank you again for this list and all of the wonderful ideas.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 OK. These sources will be put in the " Philosophy and Resources " file which lists, books, websites, etc. on 2/18/2003 3:55 PM, Tiktin-Fanti at andreatf1@... wrote: > The Diabetes Solution by K.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 !!!!!!!! just had my checkup, and my sugar level is high... and on diabetes.org they specifically put a possible link between celiac and diabetes... SHIT! Anybody here? Am I really at risk? or could it be because I'm healing and my gut and my diet are not completely in sync yet? The only thing I read (and recommended by my doc) is " exercise " . Which I could do. But I also wonder about the food we cook. Does replacing wheat by rice add so much sugar? Anyway. I need to live a few weeks/ months chewing on the news, and pay attention to what I do wrong and improve. And yes, having be on a 3000cal a day diet for over 20years (and thin as a stick) takes some time to adjust to eating less. :-) Sophie (31) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Sophie, as I understand it, there is a genetic link between celiac disease and diabetes -- so strong that many newly diagnosed diabetic children are being screened for celiac disease. The Kaiser Santa Clara pediatrician who spoke at the Stanford Conference a few years ago said that celiac children who do not follow the diet are at a much higher risk of developing diabetes. Anecdotally, I've observed this for years: every year at the Conference there'll be about two diabetics among a group of 25 children. That's not the case in "normal" classrooms. They all have Type I diabetes, and yours may be Type II (2?).On Oct 27, 2006, at 8:57 AM, sophie_and_martin wrote:!!!!!!!!just had my checkup, and my sugar level is high... and on diabetes.org they specifically put a possible link between celiac and diabetes...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Don’t just replace wheat junk food with rice/GF junk food!! Do increase your good fats (not soy or corn oil) but real butter if you can do dairy, or olive oil, coconut oil, higher fat fishes and meats (I use my bacon grease to cook my eggs and chicken fat that I drained from the roasting pan for sautéing things) Do exercise but mostly walking or walking in water or biking – the cardio ones. And it is indeed the quick carbs that can get you – sugars and flour made things. I sometimes wonder about fruits or at least dried fruits as well. My issue is not high blood sugar but the triglycerides – the next step in the process if one eats too much of the simple carbs. Eating fat does not increase the triglycerides according to my regular old not very well informed doctor who did know this new piece of info.

Our DSL has been down on an off for 2 weeks but lately its been mostly off. Anyway, the blood glucose monitors available are one way you can track your blood glucose levels at home but I don't know that I would really suggest one at this point. As far as cost goes its pretty easy with rebates etc to get a machine for free or very close to it. Where they get you is that you have to buy test strips for the machine and they can run from $0.25-$0.80/each (and come in packs of 50 or 100. The machines usually come with 10 or so to get you started). You'll also be using lancets to prick your finger for the blood sample and they are biohazardous medical waste that must be disposed of properly (ie-you will need to buy a sharps container and figure out how you dispose of it in your area). Lancets are cheap and the sharps container is just a hassle but neither are a huge deal. However, a fasting bg of 100mg/dL isn't anything, in my opinion, to run out and buy a machine for. Testing is painful and probably not especially helpful for you at this point. I think many physicians would not even necessarily feel that a one time value of 100 is even sufficient to declare pre-diabetic. However, making lifestyle modifications like exercise (if it is type II exercise is the best way to improve the root cause of the disease) and examining the diet (as you are rightly doing-as I said before I do think the simple carb load is greater on a GF diet). I'd still keep the possibility of the genetic link to type I in the back of my mind though. Hopefully you were told to watch out for some of the symptoms of poor glucose control and keep those in mind as well (in case you weren't they are excessive thirst, frequent urination and frequent hunger). I hope that helps at least a bit. I want to make clear that I really don't think your blood glucose is all that high and probably doesn't warrant some of the caution I advised in my other post. It shouldn't be ignored, but I was expecting a number more in the 120-140 range.
