Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oedett" data-source="post: 945350" data-attributes="member: 208239">I have read Dr Kraft's book and watched his interview with the Fat emperor on his blog site. Dr Kraft was a pathologist as well as researching diabetes he did over 14,300 5 hour fasting glucose tolerance tests with insulin assays patients age between age 3 and 90 plus. His findings were that over 75% had raised insulin levels while some patients had normal blood sugars, weight and cholesterol levels.He states that it is the insulin that is causing the inflammation in the blood vessels This is what is causing the pathology leading to the damage heart eyes kidneys and the rest.Dr Kraft did over three thousand post-mortem's and saw the damaging pathology. His conclusion is thatRandom blood sugars,fasting bloods, and standard 2 hour glucose tolerance test our poor diagnostic tools and only pick up type 2 diabetics in the late stage of the process,the damage is caused by the high level of insulin so do we need to re look at diagnosis of gestation diabetics, insulin resistance, and the obese not forgetting that you can be thin too and these diabetics can be treated treat with diet and fasting.Changes to reverse the type 2 diabetic early in the disease process thus preventing the damage that can be caused years before the patient know they are diabetic. The savings to the patient relatives and the public purse are vast.</blockquote>
