| Thanks, Susan. I'll try to keep everyone informed about the new option, we all are going to have eventually with ORAL INSULIN. Compared to taking something harsh like GLIPIZIDE, which wears out the beta cells in the pancreas, INSULIN far betterand safer.
If you don't inject it, it doesn't just get stored in the shallow
external fat layer. It goes directly to the liver, and may be taken up by the specially bad, blanket of fat around the
liver and small intestines. Modern scientists consider this fat
to function as an endocrine organ, puting bad stuff right into
the liver, through the portal vein. There is an experimental
surgery, that goes down your throat, into the stomach, then
through the stomach wall, to extract a full third of the
fat blanket, from it's dangerous position, so close to the liver.
The alternative, is to walk a lot more, after you begin to lose weight. That tricks the body into eating this nasty fat, rather than unused muscle tissue. I'm sleeping on a futon, and do
leg lifts to tighten the my lower belly, and drain fluid out of my
once swollen ankles! Today, I just crossed into the 205 pound
benchmark! That's a thrill, that I'm celebrate with some walking, and distilled water drinking, as I spend the fourth
of July, with no beer, soda, or barbacue, until veggie and
chicken time, after dark! I'll add a little lo-cal barBQ basting
to the bowl! Happy Fourth to all you T2s!  |
