[QUOTE="runner2009, post: 1627585, member: 95489"] [USER=429870]@Alexandra100[/USER] - Thank you. One time when I re-read Dr. B's book, I saw that he believe that you can reduce plaque build up in the arteries by high intensity aerobic exercise and going over your 'theoretical maximum heart rate'. [URL='http://www.diabetes-book.com/cardiovascular-exercise/']Here is a summary[/URL] . He wrote that you can't do this quickly but it may take a month to increase it by maybe one beat. But, he believes this is the key to clean arteries or one of them. I know that you can have highly plugged arteries and pass a tread-mill test and at the same time a artery blood flow test one can pass with over 70% inclusion. Being on insulin has two advantages that I can see - 1. You can take control of your BG numbers and make corrections easily and 2. if you time your strength building exercise, even an older person like me can gain muscle mass quickly. Only problem is that I started lifting too much and hurt my back for 18-months. I admire your ability to have only 6g carbs for breakfast - I eat more carbs than Dr. B's diet, but it is mostly low density veggies with not a lot of calories. You wrote [INDENT][I]I have a long way to go still, and as I am extremely skinny I may be LADA, in which case my results will eventually deteriorate despite my best efforts. [/I][/INDENT] I understand what you are saying here. I've traded my thoughts about deteriorating beta cells and needing more drugs as failure but just focusing on keeping my BG in Dr. B's 'normal' range as best as I can and try not to make it anymore complicated. For me to be successful, I had to totally eliminate pastas, breads, potatoes, raviolis, most fruits from my diet and become a carnivore vegetable eating giraffe - basically if I start eating the above, I have a difficult time 'just eating one' serving. My BG goes sky high with just some simple toast, unless I am running or walking 10 to 12 miles a day. [/QUOTE]
