Bloodworm is an ambiguous term, but a Google search found this: Blood worm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_worm

A normal human pancreas can produce about six times as much insulin as someone with no insulin resistance needs. Therefore, someone with type 2 and no overwork damage yet to the beta cells should reach adequate control by reducing the insulin resistance enough that less than six times the...

If you're looking for something especially high in potassium, look for salt substitutes that list potassium chloride as the main ingredient. However, some people (including me) find those bitter if they don't list monosodium glutamate (MSG) as one of the minor ingredients.

Another food to avoid is usually called corn here in the US but called maize instead in the UK. Some fast food places here offer sandwiches using lettuce leaves instead of bread, so you could try making such sandwiches. A few fast food places label a few items on the menu as low carb; you...

I've read of ONE, and only one, scientifically verified cure for type 1. It came with enough side effects that I doubt if you'd want to try it, though. Someone had both type 1 and a bone marrow disease expected to be fatal within a year. The only cure known for the bone marrow disease was to...

A local Chinese restaurant offers the option to ask for Chinese vegetables instead of the usual rice or noodles, so I choose that option and usually one of the dishes marked spicy. A local Japanese restaurant, though, doesn't offer much other than fried rice with various additions. I'm not...

Blood pressure is seldom especially important an diabetes. Here in the US, buying your own blood pressure meter is fairly cheap. However, if you do, I'd recommend three readings within a short time as one of the first things you should try with it - once while standing, once after you have...

Probably due to a combination of the cost of the teststrips and the fact that most type 2 diabetics don't know how to get useful results fron the readings.

I've seen two other names for it more often: dawn phenomenon Somogyi effect http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/Articles/Diabetes-Definitions/dawn_phenomenon/

Carbs are not essential unless you have a liver problem that prevents turning proteins into glucose, or a kidney problem that interferes with disposing of the wastes from this conversion. Still, some people have found that keeping a limited amount of carbs in their diets helps control their BG...

I haven't seen it as a book, but it's available as a website: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR15/wtrank/wt_rank.html Requires you to have the ability to read PDF documents. Suitable software for that is available free from Adobe.

For metformin, 500mg a day is seldom enough to do much with your type 2. It's started at a low dose and then built up in order to help you past some of the side effects for new users. I've found that testing my BG for the first few years after I was diagnosed with type 2 helped me learn what...

For those with type 2, the low-carb method of dieting to lose weight and control type 2 is often harder to start, but tends to work better. The most successful people I've seen over the years at controlling type 2 on various web forums and on newsgroups were almost always those who used the...

I've seen a few research reports saying that certain types of fat, particularly the omega-3 type are healthy. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be unreachable at this moment. Rapid health improvements with a Paleolithic diet...

I met someone with PCOS and found a few web sites for her: Effects of oral fat and glucose tolerance test on serum lipid profile, apolipoprotein, and CRP concentration, and insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. http://lib.bioinfo.pl/pmid:17362944 Rather technical; a...

Wine actually has a mixture of effects. The alcohol part makes the liver delay converting glycogen into glucose, but it also contains fruit sugars which usually include both glucose, which makes your meter rise quickly, and fructose, which tends to increase insulin resistance and therefore make...

Have you noticed that the term complex carbs tends to be associated with both bad advice from some people, since it includes types of starch which digest about as fast as table sugar, and good advice from others, since it includes fiber which you don't digest at all, and also includes a few...

Don't you wish that the doctors who give the worst advice got whatever they were giving advice about soon afterwards? Then we probably wouldn't need to do much more than watch how fast the average advice of the survivors changed. :lol:

Do any of you want to use your computers to work on a long term project for finding a swine flu treatment? http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/projects_showcase/flu1/viewFlu1Main.do http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ I've recently given them some information about the protein the virus uses to...
