[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2520578, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]This has been an interesting read, and not so bad to resurrect it. I didn't find the poll offensive, as I think about these issues a lot myself, but cheekily - not regarding myself, but my friends, workmates, and family members who have not wanted to adjust/adapt/change their way of eating to lower their blood glucose. I can't imagine any of them answering that poll though! Especially - yeah - I see your point - "fail to adhere" is pretty authoritarian, and I would never use that language myself. Just an aside - reading the poor ol' OP (datkins65) closely in her two intro messages, this one when she was answering LittleGrey Cat, she wrote somthing that for me, as a severely insulin resistant T2 person, I found quite disturbing - "Some of the latest research identifies fat as causing metabolic conversions in the liver creating insulin resistance which has the tendency to be permanent if not dealt with quickly and aggressively." (She goes on to say about never getting into normal range again.) I had not read that before - insulin sensitivity and resistance has always been presented as on a spectrum which can be moved back and forth on, and I would say that is my own history of IR. What was she referring to I wondered ,and spent too long online looking for this research. What I did find in the end, regarding permanent IR, was these two types of severely insulin resistant folks who have what is called type a and type b IR, and those syndromes (which have other names) are dire indeed. Type A is where the insulin receptors are mutated, and I believe one is born with it and it is very deadly if not caught. Type B is autoimmune. And ditto. This was the only permanent IR I could find being referred to. Just in case someone else like me was disturbed by the idea of permanent IR as a type 2 - I thought I would contribute. If anyone else reads this and does know of the research - please cite it! It would be a real downer, but better to know than not know? [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
