Hi Julie,

I agree with you completely. Insulin uses don't get a free ride
to eat whatever they want.

I am agreeing with you. Why are you getting ****ed at me? Even if
we did not agree, have I been rude or ungentlemanly in any way?

Yes! Both my ER doctor and my new GP gave me very specific information
as to what I could and could not eat. It is all over the web too.
Basically, in a nutshell: nothing refined, carbs and sugar are the
same thing (blood glucose wise), keep you carbs to 15 per meal,
and keep your carbs to 60 max per day. I didn't reference this
as I thought everyone got this lecture. I was even given carb
reference books. And warned about liars glucose, such as Maltodextrin.
Also told me I have to exercise.

When did I say this? If you could help me here and quote me, it would
help me improve my writing so as not to be so badly misunderstood.
You obviously think I said this, so I must have written something
wrong.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are not deliberately
trying to pick a fight, the only thing I can think happened was that
I was speaking of one specific individual who admitted to me
he used insulin so he could eat whatever he wanted and did not
make it clear that I was only talking about one specific individual
and you thought I was talking about all insulin users.

This is very good news! I do miss beans, but not that much.

Okay.

You didn't get this lecture?

Eat carbs, up goes blood glucose, neuropathy sets in, loose body
parts. You did not get this lecture either?

The individual I spoke of dropped something of his foot. Two
weeks apart on each foot. Got infected. Went into gangerine.
It started with carbs. Guy probably had neuropathy. And
that indeed started with too many carbs.

I do believe it did. Both my ER doctor and my new GP said
I burn myself out. Humans were designed to be hunter
gathers, not carb eaters. There are references all over
the web to this.

Funny typo. That should have been "feminine". She is
the sweetest, prettiest thing on the face of this earth.
Also, the smartest person I know (165+ IQ). I am truly
blessed.

If you have Netflix/Roku, take a watch at a documentary called
"Hungry for Change". There are other references too.

Here is another good reference:

Julie, if you think I have said something offensive or incorrect,
just tell me so. Don't get ****ed. I am a nice guy. We
can work things out.

Bon appetit!
