Moonchilde, I love your afternoon: after all of the miserable weather you've had, your afternoon plans sound wonderful...cap it off by asking your PT to meet you at the beach with his/her massage table.....have another Margarita! Now, REALLY ENJOY!

The usual suspect is once again trashing this thread. There is a thread on CC talking about limiting starches. I think they meant carbs.  No one ever sticks up for her pov. But @Trinity11 and a few others stuck up for limiting carbs and testing for blood sugar

The cruelty of her post...I just could not believe anyone could be so nasty. We bother nobody and have a group of posters only trying to be helpful to one another. We do our best and the first thing I thought of was Moonchilde's thread about being careful what you share here. We never know what some lurker is doing reading just to feel superior that they could not possibly have diabetes. Sad..

''edited to add..thanks to the moderation here the post is gone.

My take on this person is that she loves arguments and in her eyes, she really believes these quacks are great scientists.

There is no disuading her-period.

My answer? Don't acknowledge her-she thrives on negative attention. In a separate post, I would state my view without any reference whatsoever.....

IMO,

Absolutely. Bullies thrive on attention, take it away, and what have they got?

Okay, bear with me, @CatLoverDogsToo and anyone interested in the free lancet samples. You know I can't just post a live link, so - put your thinking caps on.

followed by:

That should take you to a page that lets you order OR request a free sample.

It lookslike there is a space between the second - and the number 1 but there isn't.

Oh, @Poodlepet2, I DID, believe me! Two margaritas (peach). And then I had a Chinese "foot massage", which is of course the whole body.

I would post a photo, but my meal was not diabetic friendly and in view of the other thread I don't want to add fuel to any fire. Oh well.

I agree - I usually ignore that poster and the 1-2 people who invariably come along to support her.

Thank you Moonchilde, the info worked. I ordered my free trial lancets!

Researchers Make Progress on a Pill to Stop Type 2 Diabetes
Kate Horowitz

Pharmaceutical researchers are one step closer to making a pill that can reverse the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. They published their research in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.

Diabetes and its complications are a major issue within the United States and abroad. In 2012, the American Diabetes Association reported that 29.1 million Americans, or 9.3 percent of the population, lived with diabetes.

Various factors, including age and obesity, can cause a person’s body to stop responding to the blood-sugar regulating hormone called insulin. Current drugs for type 2 diabetes work by eliminating glucose from a person’s bloodstream. These prescriptions can help a great deal, but they’re not a cure, and the side effects can be nasty.

The authors of the new study wondered if they could address the problem farther up in the pipeline by convincing the body to respond to insulin again. They created a compound that blocks the release of a chemical called low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMPTP), an enzyme that’s previously been implicated in insulin resistance.

They gave the drugs to a group of obese, diabetic mice by mouth, once a day for four weeks, all the time monitoring the rodents’ blood sugar and insulin resistance. In that short time, the animals’ bodies began responding to insulin and their blood sugar began to stabilize. The mice experienced no side effects.

The next step will be testing the drug in other animals, and then in people. Lead researcher Stephanie Stanford of the University of California, San Diego, is hopeful the pill’s success will translate into the human body and reduce the need for insulin injections and other drugs.

“This could lead to a new therapeutic strategy for treating type 2 diabetes,” she told New Scientist.
