Ok enough health crap. Lets talk race car throttle pedal.

Just added two side straps to make sure the foot not sliding when going WOT on sle. When not on sle I can fee the resistance. When it goes old mak limp no resistance and foot slipped off Saturday.

Thinking I may make a push spring so that once the pedal goes half or better WOT I have to push against spring. I had one onn TA/D that was my stage spot. Now WTH did I do with that piece I know I have it somewhere.

No way diabetes is curable

I've known a number of people, young and old that struggle with it...and bad at times

The founder/owner of the company I worked at for 30 years has diabetes and is lucky he's alive.
He passed out driving and hit a tree from blood sugar issues

His son has it and is now incapacitated from strokes brought on by diabetes and high blood pressure, He would not take his prescribed meds as he was directed to and is now an invalid.... not even 60 years old.....

Watch this and yes there are carbs in meat but it is a very small amount. There are lots of studies proving that low carb diets will reverse T2 diabetes, I've read literally thousands of personal anecdotes of people completely reversing it and coming off all meds after being a T2 diabetic for decades. Not only is being a sugar burner all the time bad for everything it is also what causes dementia. Your brain gets so insulin resistant that it can be swimming in glucose but the brain won't take it up. If you want to stave off oldtimers, dementia etc you better be getting in ketosis and letting your brain and body run on ketones some and not sugar all the time. Ask any anthropologist and they will tell you that our ancestors ate 95% meat for millions of years (nitrogen content in bones), our bodies have evolved to eat fatty red meat, we have the most acidic stomach of any animal, a short hind gut. Only in the last 100 years have we ate this much sugar and carbs and chronic disease is getting worse by the day but stop eating meat lol such a joke.

If healthy meat would cure it I would be golden. With two large freezers of deer meat,deer sausage and shelves of canned garden foods. Not that we do all our own food. No cows or chickens. Herr Good buddy does have 55,000 chickens so eggs and chicken are farm fresh too.Abotu all we can pull off on few acres. Oh and lots of fresh mushrooms.

I tried low to no carbs for 4 or 5 months and A1C was still 7.1. The earlier test was 7.2. First diagnosis I was 10 something. A buddy is called prediabetic because his is too low at 4.8 or so.

I do not say it is not reversible in some cases. Catch early and just over numbers then yes. The body is like race car. Not all are the same combo and not all respond to the same tune-up.

Reply about feeling good on no carb. I tried it strict as hell when working out in the gym. The energy was almost nothing. Hard to keep up a workout schedule and while not light by any means it was not a steroid boy program.

If you have been diagnosed with heart disease or had a heart attack from blocked/hardened arteries, there is no way your cardiologist would recommend you eat a lot of red meat or high fat foods...

Again....everyone is different....some can eat anything and never develop diabetes or heart issues.....others do everything they are told and still have these problems....

GENETICS !!

I knew a racer who had a H/A around May....He said his heart was not damaged and I believe had a stent placed.....He was doing fine and out of nowhere died a couple months later, don't know exactly from what but it's a reasonable assumption it was heart related...60 something years old and was famous for cooking and eating at the track.....a lot of MEAT !!

I just cooked a big hamburger and I rarely eat red meat.....Once in a while I give in !

I walk usually 4 miles every day and sometimes over 6

I weighed 140lbs this morning and keep my weight right there with diet and exercise

Take 6 different meds every day....

Any day can be your last ! No matter what you think or do....

Never eat red meat just deer meat. LOL Hey it lives off that grass stuff they tell us is so healthy so how bad can it be?

If I was 140 lbs I would be past dead and decaying away. 210 to 215 works best for me. Better when in the gym 5 times a week admittedly and before diabetes eat all that work away.

question.

If you have to quit eating food and become a rabit. Is diabetes reversed or ar you just not overloading you body's weak link? Allowing iot to work in are it is capable of handling. So technically you are diabetic but with lower A1C that is controlled by diet.

IMO not being diabetic would mean you could eat what you want in moderation of coarse w/o A1C going up.

It is kind of nice to debate something here w/o a bunch of BS name calling and talking trash about others' views. COOL!

I take Gabapentin for my nueropathy and have for years...no issues so far...

I agree....a little back and forth is good and even a little ribbing but the other stuff is ridiculous...

My Grandmother was diabetic, very large woman 5'11" 220 lbs. I remember her on a special diet. It stopped or went into remission around 1964-1966. Not many details since most are now gone.

Doc said I been on edge at various times but nothing solid. Mostly I get you are not a kid anymore from docs.

Rational conversation is nice to see.

Yes definitely nice to be able to debate without all the attacks.

I agree everyone is different and what work for one person may not always work for someone else but I think there is no denying that we are consuming way too much bread/grains/sugar and processed chemical crap. I think Genetics load the gun and diet and lifestyle pull the trigger but that genetics can be overcome with the right diet. It always blows my mind when people don't think what they eat and put into their bodies is what affects their health. Most of the food like products that are in the grocery store should be illegal. Vegetable oil is so bad and everything fast food is fried in the crap that should have been changed out weeks ago (except hamburger - comes with its own grease). You can't tell a vegetable oil refinery from and oil refinery the stuff is just nasty. Nobody seems to understand what nutrition is either, if you look at the top 20 most nutritious foods there are maybe a couple plant products but by far the best food is from animals. Ribeye is a super food it is choked full of all kinds of vitamins and minerals that are essential for our bodys. There are essential protiens and fats but no essential carbohydrates. Think about what diabetes is, its the inability of your body to remove glucose from your blood because your pancreas cannot create insulin anymore, because you have abused it with a high carb diet for years. If you don't consume the carbs you don't need the insulin. Okay technically you haven't cured it only put it "remission" with a very low carb diet but eating anything you want is not the goal. There are 2 fuels our bodies can use, carbs/sugar/glucose or Fat. When your body is running on fat it is burning ketones and the heart and brain prefer that, many studies proving that. (watch every video Ben Bickman has on you tube) Blood sugar is rock solid and you feel full for hours, on carbs your blood sugar is up and down and you are constantly hungry. During covid we were working from home and I was at my heaviest around 260 with high bp, stage 2 kidney disease and hearburn. I took prilosec for 25 years. I caught Shawn Baker on Rogan and went down the low carb rabbit hole. I was sold after hearing Ken Berry say that the only way he cured his heartburn was with carnivore diet. He said Keto got him about 80% there but Carnivore completely cured it. So I went carnivore and sure enough fixed my heartburn. I was so glad to get off those proton pump inhibitors. Heart burn is not a problem of too much acid but too little. When your stomach ph drops below a certain point it will keep the sphincter at the top of your stomach from fully closing and allow acid to go up your esophagus. I reversed my kidney disease and my egfr is great now. I lost 70 lbs. When I am strict I go to 190 and everyone tells me I look like I am on Meth lol but I felt great. My goal everyday is to eat zero carbs but it doesn't always work out. I hit the gym with my son about 3 days a week. Its so hard to fix someone's diet after they have eaten like crap for years, I think if I had kids today it there would be no shots, no sugar and no school (homeschool).

The type, whether 1 or 2 makes the difference.

Type 1 >> The body’s immune system is responsible for fighting off foreign invaders, such as harmful viruses and bacteria.

Type 1 diabetes is believed to be caused byTrusted Source an autoimmune reaction. In people with type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakes the body’s own healthy cells for foreign invaders.

The immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. After these beta cells are destroyed, the body is unable to produce insulin.

Researchers don’t know why the immune system sometimes attacks the body’s own cells. It may have something to do with genetic and environmental factors, such as exposure to viruses.


Type 2>>People with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance. The body still produces insulin, but it’s unable to use it effectively.

Researchers aren’t sure why some people become insulin resistant and others don’t, but several lifestyle factors may contribute, including being inactive and carrying excess weight.

Other genetic and environmental factors may also play a role. When you develop type 2 diabetes, your pancreas will try to compensate by producing more insulin. Because your body is unable to effectively use insulin, glucose accumulates in your bloodstream.

Yea funny while not laughter style. The human body and an engine are a lot alike. Too much fuel it is fat. To much strain and breaks something. Abuse the hell of it and shorten life span. Work out regularly but not to max and longer life span. Let is sit and falls apart.

Now tell me that's not racer thinking. LMAO

not to derail this back to OP. A bonus for last weekend is I found out the new rack and pinion steers great even if in 1 1/2 a$$ pass that started slower than granny leaving the starting line with a walker.That happens when foot slips off wot then when sle does not open the throttle when the transbake releases. Not LOL

Hey had to look for something positive about it to justify money spent.
