My story
Medical lies fly in the consumers’ face delivered by advertisements, drug sales people and medical doctors failing to do their homework.
As a result, the public becomes victim to an unintended conspiracy, which seeks to increase bank account balances of those wonderful medical practitioners. The diabetics, in turn, get sicker and sicker until death. About 5,000 people will die from this disease in the next 10 days. My mother and 31-year old niece, Kiana, died of diabetes in 2006.
“The sad fact is that health care providers—primary care and specialists alike—are not managing our patients with diabetes as well as they should be. Some data put the average hemoglobin A1c of people with diabetes in the United States at (210 blood sugar) 9 percent, which is clearly unacceptable,” said Christopher D. Saudek, MD, former president of the American Diabetes Christopher D. Saudek, MD, is president of the American Diabetes Association and a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. http://clinical.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/20/2/65

I had known for a very long time that diabetes had likely been my health issue, and I kept lying to myself thinking if I just changed my diet I could get better. But in fact the opposite happened.
With two days off from the newspaper, the medical practitioners diagnosed me with diabetes and I entered into the Diabetic Industrial Complex, an honor given the defrauded patients. By this, I mean insulin, exercise and diet provide the only sensible approach.
On Joslin Diabetes Center, the notable history still stands from the earliest guidelines provided by Elliot P. Joslin, MD. The Joslin practice reflected EPJ’s early writings and his theory of strict control of blood glucose, frequent testing and daily exercise to prevent diabetes complications. One distinctive characteristic of EPJ’s approach involves his belief in the “troika,” the Russian word meaning threesome. EPJ created a three-horse chariot to reflect his philosophy of living with diabetes—the three-horse motif symbolized insulin, diet and exercise, which are needed to achieve “victory” over diabetes.”
Canadian universities praise insulin, too. So forget the drugs and the medical fraud.
“Without a doubt, the most well-known Canadian medical discovery is the discovery of insulin in 1921-22 by Frederick Banting and Charles Best. Insulin saved lives and, although not a cure, remains the only effective treatment for diabetes even today.” According to the article Canadian Medicine: Doctors and Discoveries posted on the Mount Allison University Web site. http://www.mta.ca/faculty/arts/canadian_studies/english/about/study_guide/doctors/insulin.html
After my doctor prescribed drugs, which never fixed anything, I just kept getting worse. At one point, I was prescribed long acting insulin and left on pills. My body temperature dropped to 94 degrees, my creatinine ratio hit 1500, which means my kidneys were failing.
In just days before (I could have died) I asked my doctor: “Can’t you give me some other type of insulin? I am dying.”
At that time, he prescribed short acting insulin. Still, I didn’t have perfect control. I then asked why my glucose rose so high (650 or higher) meter quits at 650? He said that diabetes is not an exact science.
I walked out of the doctor’s office, looked across the town square and thought: “That is a bunch of malarkey. That began my research.
Still, my recovery looked dim. My legs were swollen, kidneys, liver and heart were in a state of distress. The doctor had told me to inject before meals. Soon, I noticed if I injected more often I got better. For the first 30 days, I was injecting a small amount every one or two hours. As my health improved, I started going back to the gym. The first six months, I focused on weights and built up to lifting on the legs at 800 pounds.
As I improved, I thought that is interesting. I started reviewing scientific articles about the disease – not opinion pieces or something half baked by a lazy journalist. My research took me to the understanding of the whole metabolic system. While doctors throw around the words insulin resistance, that is more bull. The real problem exists in the high glucose damaging the mitochondria DNA, tiny cells that increase in size and number with exercise. I then researched the whole metabolic process.
The reason people get the spikes in glucose between meals is a process called gluconeogenis, or new glucose. Essentially, this is a bypass system for survival. The liver dumps glucose and stops the glycosis process in the blood stream. So two things work against the diabetic. – the pancreas does not produce insulin, and the liver pours glucose into the blood stream. Eating every two hours prevents this problem.
My doctor’s response now: you are highly educated. Most people can not comprehend this. More empty words to make doctors seem intelligent.
At the time, I left the Myrtle Point Herald, vomiting, gas and diarrhea had become major issues. That continued until provided insulin – gas gone is 7 days. Research indicates that diabetes causes the intestines to enlarge and insulin restores, according to one study done on rats.
Insulin also increases blood flow, improves bone density and literally provides fuel for the brain.
Studies indicate that both diabetic pills and high glucose impair cognitive function.
Besides insulin, exercise provides a key role. Diabetics tend to have low nitric oxide. The exercise restores that factor. Even more important, ¼ of the diabetic males become impotent and is mostly linked to low nitric oxide levels and some nerve damage.
Exercise restores those problems. In one study by the American Heart Association, the authors state the diabetic heart is extremely sensitive to insulin and fats. Also, exercise and insulin are closely related in maintaining control.
“Glucose uptake (cardiac and skeletal muscle) is determined primarily by two separate but interrelated factors, namely the local concentrations of insulin and the intensity of exercise (muscle) contraction,” according to an American Heart Association copyrighted article.
In the article, “Adaptation and Maladaption of the Heart in Diabetes, “Insulin inhibits release of (fatty acids) from adipose tissue, thus lowering plasma (fatty acid) levels and therefore removing (fatty acid) mediated inhibition of (using glucose for energy.) Fatty acids undoubtedly impair insulin-mediated glucose disposal. High-fat feeding has repeatedly and consistently been shown to result in impaired glucose tolerance and decreased muscle insulin sensitivity.”

But insulin is also essential to maintaining healthy bones for the diabetic. The following citation adds proof.
Let me cite the Web site http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/content/full/289/5/E735
In the article, “Is insulin an anabolic agen in bone? Dissecting the diabetic bone for clue” Now let me cite a few sentences from this article:
“In fact, several studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between (bone density) and insulin dose.”
This article explains insufficient insulin can lead to bone marrow decline and inhibit or slow the healing of fractured bones. So, over and over, we find the patients need insulin.
Conclusion
‘These reports share two conclusions: 1) bone regeneration is impaired in insulin deficiency: and 2) regeneration can be restored by insulin treatment, even in the face of moderate (high glucose) suggesting a primary role for insulin in bone formation.’
You do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand that the diabetic bone without sufficient insulin is headed toward osteoporosis.
So of course, this lends to the concept of exercise. Two things allow the cells to use glucose: insulin and exercise. So even with low levels of insulin, the exercise is very beneficial.
As I use only short acting insulin, peaking at two hours, I time my exercise when the insulin reaches the peak. During the down side or when insulin starts to wear off, I exercise taking advantage of declining insulin strength; this gives me an additional two hours between injections. Also, to lower blood sugar slightly, say 150 to 100, I exercise to keep things in balance.
Of course, doctors will say no one wants to exercise or eat so carefully. I say who wants to be sick? Who wants to die of kidney failure? Who wants to die from a heart attack? Who wants to be impotent, and who wants to be married to an impotent spouse?
“Physical activity burns calories from the foods we eat and improves the body’s ability to use insulin,” according to members of Joslin’s Exercise Physiology Department. “But because we’ve eliminated many of the physical activities of the physical demands of daily living, we need to find ways to make more physical activity part of our daily routines.”
So take the simple cure. Exercise for at least 90 minutes per day to control the glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure.
In fact, I recently read an article online at health.ivillage.com about the male dysfunction issue. The article states: “Diabetes-related erectile dysfunction is caused by a defect in the nitric oxide mechanism in a part of the brain called paraventricular nucleus (PVN). The PVN located in the hypothalamus plays a role in many functions, including penis erection and sexual behavior. Sexual dysfunction is a common problem in men with diabetes.,” a University of Nebraska article stated.
An article from the Journal of Applied Physiology Volume 82, No. 3 and posted March 1997. The department of Clinical Physiology, Goteborg University, Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Goteborrg, Sweden have been cited in this publication. There, the authors Lennart Jungersten, Anneli Ambring, Bjorn Wall and Ake Wenimalm drew some important conclusions about how exercise increases nitric oxide levels.
Further a 1998 copyrighted article "Improvement of Erectile Function in Diabetic Rats by Insulin: Possible Role of the Insulin-like growth factor system published by The Endocrine Society in the Endocrinology Journal Vol. 139 No. 7 the authors Tarek M. Abdelbaky and associates with the Lady Davie Research Institute of the Jewish General Hospital of Montreal Canada clearly stated the insulin improves the ability to have an erection. So why again is everyone different pills is a better option? Go ahead, I am waiting for your response. You can review the full text of this research article by clicking the link below:

Besides the sexual dysfunction issue, we have an even sadder tale. Doctors would rather kill diabetics slowly with pills rather than give them something that works. Following my research, I wrote this book as a fictional story to draw attention to medical fraud, which kills Americans faster than any war, the drug companies get rich, the doctors earn profits and the pharmacies gets lots of sales. Only the diabetics like me who beg for insulin get to live a healthy and vibrant life. In the next 10 days, 5,000 diabetics will die in the United States alone, and you should read my book so you become informed and help me in the social civil cause for good.
