[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1922754, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][USER=241286]@Claire chachacha[/USER] I absolutely would not take insulin when battling cancer, either. You don't want to take anything that could or would help a tumour grow, I would expect. Your body weight and hyperglycemia (was) very similar to mine. I have significant Dawn Phenomenon (DP) like you,which reflects malfunctioning signals in the liver/pancreas/fat cells in the abdominal cavity, where they should not be in a healthy body, according to my understanding. There are basically three ways to normalise your FBGs with DP/blood glucose dysregulation caused by impaired fasting blood glucose. Three key methods are care of Dr Sarah Hallberg, when lecturing on reversal of type two, which for those with impaired fasting blood glucose means 'fixing' the fasting blood glucose issues, imho. I would add a fourth - fasting! But that is not a Dr Hallberg. That is from the pro-fasters, but if you look at below, you can see how fasting fits in with all three... 1. Bariatric surgery! They now think it is because it deals immediately with two incretin hormones that we have in our intestinal system, one, the upper intestine one (GIP) gets deactivated and your body starts using the healthier GLP in the lower intestine to better deal with carbs, is the idea on that one. I cannot explain the science behind why GLP is better for us than the GIP - it's something to do with simple carbs and overprocessed carbs in food, in comparison to slower digesting, less lectins etc and which get dealt with my GLP. (And why getting rid of processed food sees pretty much immediate BG improvement results for just about everybody if not everybody.) (Info on this by expert Erdosi) Good thing you can do things with your diet to emulate/stimulate the bariatric surgery plusses! And you want it to be quick, as time is at a premium. Yeah - cut the carbs even more. As in very very very low carbs. Your cancer cells need glucose to reproduce, so the lower glucose you go the better. I would say - as in ketogenic diet, but I would say that wouldn't I? Basically you need your life and eating plan to be maximum-ally handable - so whatever way of lower carb eating works for you of course. Which brings me to 2. Cut the carbs, even more than you have been. See exercise as an 'extra boon'? for this one. in terms of getting excess glucose out of your system and increasing your insulin sensitivity, and therefore also promoting healthier levels of insulin, as in lower, to meet your BG regulating needs and health generally. as above poster said, for improving FBGs my own experience has been in a post dinner walk being good for that. (Haven't been able to do that without a flashlight for years, so don't do that any more. But it did work well when I did do it.) And 3. Very low calorie intake as in lessening the energy you get from food. Basically means starving a little. I would go for number 2 every time! Just going even lower carb and boosting healthy fat intake. Because number two works, for [I]a lot of[/I] people, and you can keep your nutritional needs being met and yourself happier. Which is good when battling cancer. And. And 4. Fasting. Immediate results during the not-eating, but not easy. And maintaining it (as in improved FBGs) post fasting, in my experience has not been great. But that may just be my lack of health status and metabolism. It does work for others, as in a cancer treatment, but you would need to find a medical practitioner who would oversee you doing this for sure! As you have bigger health issues to fry as it were?
