    The Book of Mormon....

    Seems I forgot to heed my own advice there. After a day like the other day where this place ate into so much of my time I am reminded of my favourite movie quote. "The only winning move is not to play " :bag:

    Please help me understand: sugar isn't "poison" for T2D

    No matter how much you want me to be wrong. If someone with diabetes is having a hypo and is conscious, they should initially treat a hypo with 15-20g of fast acting sugary food or drink, such as: 5 glucose tablets 150 to 200ml of a sugary fizzy drink (eg full sugar cola or lemonade) 4 to 5...

    Please help me understand: sugar isn't "poison" for T2D

    Quote system seems to have go awry. "In my experience, sugar is not recommended as the standard treatment. I believe glucose tablets, jelly babies and glucose is preferable for those diabetic hypos." Why have you gone so far out of you're way to try and avoid saying I'm right. I don't have a...

    So 1 exclamation mark wasn't enough for you. I would use one too but I think you used them all up. A hypo is caused by a drop in blood glucose, Have I got that correct? Natural in this case is not caused by taking medicine in any form they "occur naturally". Is that also correct? Am I just...

    Please help me understand: sugar isn't "poison" for T2D

    I'm being down right obtuse. But there is a serious point behind it all we do not know from the OP Mail on Sunday article about David Unwin and bananas, we have the quote: So does sugar become a poison to type 2 diabetics? 'That's not supported by the evidence,' answers Prof Kar. We do not...

    Hi @Brunneria Have I got this wrong. Hypos can occur natural, quick on the spot treatment is sugar. I don't need to be right just don't want to be spouting nonsense, I did check it before I posted is there a sutaltie that I am missing? P.s. If I ever gt hold of the person who created this...

    Please help me understand: sugar isn't "poison" for T2D

    Hi Biker, yes I was referencing a hypo but I deleted it when correcting a typo with out realising. Also citing an extreme outcome, seizures coma and death, to make a point. Just as if drinking to much water can lead to death. If I'm wrong let me know. If i'm right and you agree that the OP uses...

    When you resort to defining something from the dictionary to make your argument you know you are on shaky ground. :bookworm: The sugar does not cause harm the body's inability to process it causes harm. If your body is running to low on sugar you need to quickly ingest fast acting sugar to...

    10 year old. Would like to rule out diabetes

    You shouldn't go see a Doctor. If you think your daughter has a problem get her checked out by a Doctor. The 6.9 reading is normal, perhaps on the high side of normal but not worryingly so. If your daughter had a bug making her feel ill it would be common for her blood sugar readings to be up a...
