<p>"I have been diagnosed with T2 diabetes for almost 3 years. I maintain excellent blood sugar control "
-My H. has had desease for many years. The only thing that affects his Blood Sugar level is his weight and absolutely nothing else. His weight goes up and so do his Blood Sugar and BP, both. Since he is measuring both at home, I do it also. I also have noticed over a period of time that is much longer than 3 years that my (non-diebetic) Blood Sugar and BP fluctuate in synch with my weight (my weight is within normal range). More so, my H. was told by his doc. that he would not have diebetese and he would not have hypertension if he looses weight down to certain point. He just would not do it. At the same time he never was told to be on low carb diet.
So, apparently, general assumption about what influence Blood sugar and Blood Pressure is not correct. We are not built the same. The way we store fat is crucial and it depends on genentics and nothing else. The blessed ones store fat in their hips, the unfortunate ones (like my H. and me) store our fat on our belly. This belly fat is very dangerous.</p>
