Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / October 2006Ramblings
Just one of my ramblings: When born, we are provided with a finite capacity for insulin production. It is inevitable that we will all become diabetic should we live long enough. The point is this, if you use this finite resource up by placing unreasonable demands upon it, then you will become diabetic earlier than would otherwise be the case. The factors that make the rate of use vary from individual to individual without placing abnormal loading on the system, vary as much as we all are differnt from each other and there can be no set rule or measure that determines how each will fare. All that can be done is to be aware and not to 'over fuel' or use the wrong or inappropriate fuel. We are esigned by nature to eat when hungry and when it is necessary. We are not designed to eat three times a day at set times and this is just one of many factors in human society that contributes to the current problem. > Just one of my ramblings: > > When born, we are provided with a finite capacity for > insulin production.

It's inevitable that we'll all die if we live long enough too :-) > The point is this, if you use this finite resource up by > placing unreasonable demands upon it, then you will become > diabetic earlier than would otherwise be the case. But what about those sugar junkies wo live to over 100yo. My wife's grandmother for one (103) takes more sugar in one cup of coffee than I can squeeze into the sugar bowl. She's not diabetic. > The factors that make the rate of use vary from individual > to individual without placing abnormal loading on the > system, vary as much as we all are differnt from each other > and there can be no set rule or measure that determines how > each will fare.

What if you get hungry 3 times a day at the same times?

Just one of those variations in life, there is never a precise template. I suppose one day the medical guru's will discover all the variable genetic codes that determine how the mechanism's work. I's a bit like 'why do diesel engines work and petrol engines work'. They use different forms of the same basic fuel. >> The factors that make the rate of use vary from individual >> to individual without placing abnormal loading on the >> system, vary as much as we all are differnt from each other >> and there can be no set rule or measure that determines how >> each will fare. >So basically, some of us may live long enough to not become diabetic OR die? >:-) Some will live and die of something or other and never become diabetic. >> All that can be done is to be aware and not to 'over fuel' >> or use the wrong or inappropriate fuel. >Diabetes is (I believe) a genetic thing as much as a "fuel usage" thing. Only insomuch that everyone is born with differing tollerences to all sorts of things. Just as that french woman who smoked all her life, gave up at 85 but started again at 100!!!!.

If you have not been trained to behave like that, then perhaps it's your body's preferred way. I get hungry when my available resources are low. >>> Just one of my ramblings: > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Just one of those variations in life, there is never a > precise template. Ahh, but you said it's inevitable that we'll all be diabetic if we liove long enough. That's a pretty fixed template.

And they work in remarkably similar ways. In fact, the only real difference is the compression ratio. >>> The factors that make the rate of use vary from individual >>> to individual without placing abnormal loading on the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Some will live and die of something or other and never > become diabetic.

Without the gene to make us diabetic, we'd have no intolerance to sugar, would we? Just as that french > woman who smoked all her life, gave up at 85 but started > again at 100!!!!.

All day, every day with peaks of hunger about 3 times each day :-) SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 |
