[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1025778, member: 150927"] Well - I must be a Fung fan-girl too! I'm trying to associate Dr Fung at his whiteboard with a fat cat - and I just can't! All those fabulous postings on insulin resistance and fasting - absolutely free! Him expressing what seems a genuine interest in improving the health of T2 diabetics everywhere with an internet connection - no plugging going on, apart from what is free! Very refreshing on the internet - as we all know? I am particularly enjoying Fung's analogy/metaphor at the mo', of insulin resistance and T2D as the town of Diabetesville (just from memory here), our cells are the houses in the street, our arteries and veins the streets, and the garbage/street cleaning trucks are insulin (I'm a little fuzzy on the distinction between insulin and glucose in this metaphor right now - I'll get better I hope! Do correct me if I have got it wrong...). The garbage in the street is overspilt glucose. In Diabetesville all the house doors are wide open, and so the insulin/cleaning trucks scoop it up and pop it into the houses, cleaning up the street of all that glucose. (Maybe we could have the metaphor extend so that the glucose powers the house? In glucose burning mode? Which can be switched over to solar panel/fat burning mode lol.) Anyway, when the houses get filled to bursting with the glucose the insulin trucks have piled into the houses, the glucose then spills out again into the street. That's life in Diabetesville. Cute huh? I love it. Anyway - no money made from putting that on the net. Just wanting to spread the word to hapless inhabitants of Diabetesville. He does have his own practice/center and has a book out, another on the way - but our societies do work this way! And he certainly does a lot of information spreading 'pro bono' / for the sake of information spreading. [/QUOTE]
