And even simpler way to beat diabetes is 18:6 intermittent fasting. The last 6 hours of that 18-hour fasting period — because you haven’t eaten any carbohydrates at all — you have extremely low glucose levels, verging on hypoglycemia, and therefore much greater insulin sensitivity, which is the opposite of insulin resistance — the root cause of diabetes.
A month of this regiment and you won’t need to take any Metformin.
But doctors don’t tell you any of this. They just prescribe Metformin. For doctors, “medicine” comes down to pills and prescriptions. Duh.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
