Years ago I had a doctor determined to get me on cholesterol meds. He wanted to do blood tests, I set up an appointment. That night I was up very late, I drank a liter of RC Cola and a banana. The next morning with only 3 hours of sleep they called and said that I had to come in at 7:30 because they had a new person in training. My blood sugar was spiked very high and my triglycerides were through the roof. I tried to tell them no way, because we had been out with the telescopes till very late and I drank a lot of pop. I was told that 4 hours was enough time. The stuff that started with a G for my triglyceride levels damn near killed me and took my strength to the point that I could not even shoot a 64 pound bow. I tossed it. An osteopath told me what he thought happened. Prilosec, for acid reflux, the stuff delays digestion by shutting off the digestive actions of the stomach. His suggestion was apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon in the morning and one before supper and no more Prilosec and two or less RC Colas a week. There are supplements that control insulin resistant blood sugars and if mixed with cinnamon capsules can take ones blood sugar very low. This same osteopath told me that often type 2 is a condition and not a disease. He suggested doing a liver and pancreas cleanse along with changes in what I drink. When I had surgery to fix my torn abdomen muscles, I was told not to eat before the surgery. My blood sugar was way too low and they had to boost it before they could do the surgery. When I collapsed from exhaustion when my wife was in the hospital, the locals here looked at my old charts and decided it was either my heart or diabetes until they took a blood test. They found that I was extremely dehydrated with low blood sugar. They poured fluid in me with sugar added all night and made me eat fruit for breakfast. The osteopath does not like to give meds for type 2, he said they can make the pancreas get lazy.
