There is no cure, and there will NOT be one in our lifetime. Not in next hundred years or more, the "cure" would be replacing most of your internal organs, digestive system and some cases also limbs with cybernetic parts. It is not just your pancreas would be needed to replace with Ghost in The...

I do not think you can say that. Specially in the light of the statistics. Getting CORVID-19 infection killed 0.4% of healthy people under 50 Getting CORVID-19 infection killed 9.2% of people that had diabetes. Problem with those stats is that there are no age adjusted statistics of the...

Does not bode well for us. I am worried it might not be that far off that they decide altogether stop wasting any resources and for people in high risk group: Cardiovascular, diabetes, hypertension or respiratory illnesses. And diabetes again becomes a death sentence even more than it used to be.

Thank you. great list. But not that long after you cross off meat and fish that I am unable to eat. I been trying to start eating meat for a almost a year now.

I am not very optimistic on my chances with CORVID-19. I have T2 and borderline Hypertension so if the death rates of both conditions are cumulative that would mean I'dd have better chances surviving a round of Russian roulette- 1/6 odds - than CORVID-19. And since surviving CORVID-19 does not...

"Vegetarian diet" is a sweeping statement. At face value plant based diet is much worse for diabetes than meat based. As a sweeping factual satement plan based food has more carbs than meat. Many plant based food are mostly just carbs, some actually are nothing but. As you said your self "it is...

I am vegetarian and I find very difficult to avoid carbs, all vegetarian protein sources are fairly high in carbs. Let's take the basic normal easy protein source a can of bean in tomato sauce: 52g carbs, more than my(*) daily allowance. Even nuts have almost 10% of carbs. My point is I been...

Is that really a real thing ? I have never heard normal range (30's range) hbA1C is a bad thing. (edited by mod for language)

+32% proof alcohol has no sugar, so it really does matter what type spirit you drink they all have 0 carbs or any other nutrition, just ~2200kcal per liter. But alcohol itself is a neurotoxin. So REALLY not good for diabetes, and if you have any neurological complications it's pretty much last...
