You are type-2, aren't you? I'm type-1. The fundamental differences between our physiology/pathology might make the time scale different too. And as i say, I've always had a good day here and there, so it will take some further scrutiny to figure what is causing what and if it is significant! Other things I'm doing...I'm gradually adjusting to using Lantus insulin once a day (evening) and humulin regular for meals and to correct if I get out of whack during the day. I bought and have started reading Dr. Bernstein's book. He keeps his blood sugar absolutely in range by eating only foods that are slow to raise the blood sugar. Protein, fat, and low carbohydrate. I am an A positive blood type. The recommended diet is whole grain and vegetables, mainly, which is what I had evolved toward eating even before I learned about the "Eat 4 your blood type" idea. I have been mostly vegetarian for 25 years! So eating all protein and fat is <!--more--> tricky for me. But I have been moving in that direction recently. I bought some laying hens with a rooster and am feeding them organic grains and sprouted lentils and wheat and lots of free range greens (what I like to eat!) and then eating their eggs. I was allergic to eggs if I ate very many before I had NMT, another thing I've been doing recently. Tomorrow I have my last NMT appointment for a while (ran out of $!) NMT definitely got rid of all my food allergies. But that wasn't a big problem for me. I only had a few. And I am off thyroid medication and taking a homeopathic instead, but I won't call this a miracle (I don't have a thyroid gland at all anymore) until I get a blood test done to see where my TSH and T4 levels are. Should know in a couple weeks. I think NMT is easing the volatility of my blood sugars - I don't go quite so high quite so fast....As you can see there are a lot of possibilities as what's going on. May be I'm just paying better attention to my blood sugar. That alone can make a huge difference, as all of us who are type-1 Know! Because of the salt water protocol I'm down to 1 cup of coffee/day from 2-3. Also, I gave up beer (Wahhhhhh!) because I muscle tested No-No on it, and it is dehaydrating. Oddly, a shot of Irish whiskey was OK! Go figure. No yeast? But all alcohol is dehydrating so I'm only giving in occasionally. That's got to be more than you want to know about the circus act that is my daily health routine! I hope the salt/water program helps you. Being hydrated has to be good. Pinch the skin on the back of your hand for 5 seconds and let go. Count how many seconds it takes for the crease to disappear completely. Under 3 is great. Over 8 is not so great. Speaks of hydration and skin elasticity I think. I take about 10, like some old granny. My husband, a year older (51), takes 1 second. 1 second! He's an Arborist, tree worker who can hang horizontally in a tree using a chain saw out at the end of his outstretched arm. Maybe exercise is the key to the whole danged thing! -Linda R Linda....
