[QUOTE="Bryce74, post: 1789916"] Your HbA1c doesn't prove you were cured, it just proves you keep the values in check. You were criticizing the medical establishment (and no, I am not part of them) for telling you your condition is chronic and progressive. Well, if you were right and if you were not chronically suffering from diabetes and cured , you would be eating (more) carbohydrates again. I never said that processed carbs are part of a "normal" diet. Refined carbs are not ok but complex carbohydrates are part of a healthy diet. I don't know my aunts' exact score but at least it was good enough not to worry. I agree a CAC scan is better than looking at cholesterol levels but unfortunately calcium score is just a little part of the whole story. I am not saying it is completely useless, it can give some information but it is not highly predictable. It costs a lot of money and you get radiation: "A study based on computer modeling of radiation risk suggests that widespread screening for the buildup of calcium in the arteries using computed tomography scans would lead to an estimated 42 additional radiation-induced cancer cases per 100,000 men and 62 cases per 100,000 women, according to a new report." [URL]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090713170655.htm[/URL] Of course I don't know your history. I think CAC is good for people with symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular disease, but otherwise it's quite useless, because imagine if they had found something, what would you do? Start taking statins? As for the radiologist, it seems I misunderstood the text on your blog, my apologies. I have reactive hypoglycemia, so I I simply don't have much in common with diabetes patients, apart from, of course the hypo's, the diet and the burden of disease. Of course it's everyone's own decision to use him/herself as a guinea pig, as long as you are aware of it I am fine with it. And I have no agenda at all, just came here for my reactive glycemia and I reacted to a few posts, is all. [/QUOTE]
