By who's account? The medical industry gives people "suppose to live" predictions all the time that turn out to be dreadfully wrong when "alternative" approaches are applied.. (I put "alternative" in quotes because in reality the medical industry is the experimental alternative, though they like selling themselves off as the only viable option...)
I've read over and over and over and over again about the medical industry sending people home to die, because the way the MI goes about its business, they
know that this person will die in their hands. This same person will discover a natural alternative approach, make the necessary changes in their diets and what was once "terminal" has disappeared... sometimes within the year, sometimes within a week or two, depending on the severity of the situation.
My own case in point as it relates to what you're dealing with now. I have a glucose sensitivity. Pre-diabetic is the more appropriate label. I'm not surprised based on my diet of the many years preceding our nutritional appreciation. I added starch to my diet recently... did a postprandial glucose reading after just a half cup of white potatoes and was surprised that I had spiked to a brisk 196. So no more starches for awhile... and since we cutout all sugars, and grains, my baseline is comfortably low on carbs... I did a postprandial this morning after drinking carrot/apple juice along with coffee and kefir and clocked-in at 71.
It would be easy for me to spike it again if I wanted to... just eat a couple slices of whole wheat toast... but that would be dumb wouldn't it... :^)
Here's what you're up against... you trust these children in white coats... there are a wonderful collection of very healthy options that have their roots in thousands of years of observations. You could have addressed your heart issues quite readily without the knife... seriously, look into paleo and flip this stuff around naturally..
And... if your diet is so great then why are you having to take insulin? Based on your current situation it's quite obvious that somethings dreadfully lacking....
I'm currently reading 4 books on the subject of diabetes, all of which takes you off this creepy stuff called insulin (of which one of the side effects is weight gain).
There is a cure for Diabetes by Gabriel Cousens
Death to Diabetes by DeWayne McCulley (he was going into comas and spiking as high as 1300 before he did his research and cured himself of this problem)
One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes by Dr James Chappell
And I'm just starting the following:
Beating Diabetes (A Harvard Medical School Book): Lower Your Blood Sugar, Lose Weight, and Stop Diabetes and Its Complications in Their Tracks by David Nathan ... this one looks promising as well...
There are other options other than the long string of medical applications, that not only don't work but tend to make things much worse in the long run...
Medications, are intended to interferer with a bodily process
while Natural methods tend to bolster and help support our own bodies ability to heal and live optimally... the wake-up call is to recognize, and then respond, to this difference...
