One of the reasons Type 2 Diabetics aren't getting better...

I couldn't believe this...

Do you want to know one of the reasons why 29 million Type 2 Diabetics aren't getting better?

It's because these Doctors think that Body Temperature has nothing to do with Muscle Function.

My Temp was a half a degree below 98.6 last week - it was 98.1. If it was a half degree above normal, I would be told I have a fever.

My Doctor actually told me that my Body Temperature has nothing to do with Muscle Function!

Any Body Builder or Professional Athlete is going to say otherwise.

A Conspiracy?

Or Doctors that just don't know what they are doing?

Ya nailed it n one.

I am diabetic- and my temperature likes to yo yo a good deal. I just got done with a sweat, myself. Cannot figure out the how or why, nor any way to make it stop doing that.

Low blood sugar, or sugar crashes (sudden drops) can cause sweats, heart palpatations, labored breathing, and intense hunger.

Type 2's can go through this at times (though most times they instead suffer symptoms from high blood sugar).



However, I'd like the OP explain more about Type 2s and lower body temps.

DBL before the fact!

"Pre" Type 2 Diabetes is the biggest medical scam ever perpetuated on mankind since "Global Warming".

Everyone will eventually be diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes...it's a medical insurance and big pharma UTOPIA!!

What a RUSE!!

Muscles burn off our blood sugar.

You can ask just about any athlete - you can't exercise on cold muscles. They break, sprain, etc... Cold muscles don't work properly. Therefore, cold muscles won't burn off our blood sugar properly.

You're confusing Cause with Effect. Elevated Blood Sugar is the result of muscles that aren't working properly. What we are eating would be fine if our muscles were working properly. There was never a problem with anything I was eating before 2006. Not a single thing about my Blood Sugar showed as abnormal before 2006. I'm 49 years old.

Huh, I've always naturally operated at about a half degree lower temperature. No one has ever told me this is unnatural.

Body temperature is directly related to how much of certain enzymes we produce in our bodies. These enzymes are used in our bodies in processing nutrients and byproducts of metabolism. I have a normal body temp of 97.0. It does not effect my muscles too much but I notice I cannot eat much of many foods. My brother has a body temperature normally at 96.8, my granddaughter also has the 96.8. Both my mother and my father both had a normal body temp of 97.0 too. Our bodies are designed to operate at that temperature, I just cannot eat much of certain foods.

I could work sixteen hours a day before, so can my brother. It actually seems that people with the low body temperature stay healthier if they are always doing something. It is not related to hypothyroid issues in us, we have lots of energy, my parents were always working or doing things too. We could not just sit around.

I do not believe that this is related to type two diabetes by itself, but it can possibly contribute to a person getting it if they do not eat right.

I can raise my body temperature to over ninety eight by just drinking a glass of milk. I have a true milk allergy from what I have been told by doctors over the years. I like ice cream and milk and I am not going to give them up totally, I only use about maybe a glass of milk a week and maybe ice cream once a week.

Here are a few good sources of info on enzymes. www.mall-net.com... quizlet.com...

I have to agree with you totally on this. A combination of things cause type two diabetes, sometimes side effects of meds can cause it to happen too. There is a lot of unnatural chemistry in our food supply and insulin needs adequate potassium to work right. Also, foods they tote as super foods sometimes cause a doping of signals throughout the body and also can bring out the type two diabetis. Once it goes too far, it is hard to reverse.

They seem to call things good for us if they calm us, make us dumber and more gullable, and take away our energy so we cannot challenge them. We need a peaceful society but at what personal expense.

Consuming to much hidden sugar is a more likely contributor.

If you are a type 2 first thing in the morning take your blood sugar level.
then eat a carb free meal and wait 2 hours.

You will find that in many cases your blood sugar level has gone up.

But why,
Most food has hidden carbs in them that are not listed on the food labels.

add that to the ridiculous serving sizes on most food labels.

a reply to: ANNED

Modern convenience food is awful, its full of sugar and god knows what else. Anything out of a box is guaranteed to be bad.

All these high fructose corn syrups, the preservatives and colors, flavour enhancers etc all bad.

Food like bagels and pancakes are just terrible, white flour is full of carbs, when injested your body converts it into sugars. If people ate more fresh foods ,real food like stuff grown in the ground these issues would not be so prolific.

a reply to: rickymouse

My temp is naturally lower, but I've never encountered anything I can't eat.

However, I have also never been a sweet tooth. I don't like foods that are super-sweet, not even as a kid. That frosting stores use on their cakes has always made me gag, and I've always hated toasted marshmallows and marshmallow creme -- so that style of sweet. It's only gotten worse as I've gotten older.

I've also always eaten for taste and not simply to feel satiated. So I'm always the very last to be done at most meals.

May I add something? People say "and I cut out all sugar, too"....

In medical school we learn there are many "sugars"....

Glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose...potatoes, fruit, breads and noodles...starch becomes sugar etc etc...

Aside from this thread's direction...I've digressed a bit to inform people...if you got it, get it etc....

Remember the Jerry Lewis Labor Day non-stop telethon for Muscular Dystrophy that raised BILLIONS of $$$$$ over 20+ years?

Like Diabetes, Breast Cancer walks and runs for "the cure-pick your cause"...all the $$$ for these causes? Strides made...but no "cures".

Diabetes 1, diabetes 2, MS, MD, cancer? All the $$$$ raised and.......?

I wanted to add a little to this. My mother has had type 2 diabetes for nearly 40 years now. Sometime about 5 years ago she started having wild swings in her glucose level. So wild that one day she passed out for nearly an entire day. This frightened her so much - mainly because all these years she had been doing exactly what she was told to do by the doctor - that she decided to try another path.

She found a chiropractor who felt that all diabetes really is - is an allergic reaction. The idea is that the food she was eating was being turned into sugar (energy) that her cells did not like, so in effect, allergic to the sugar her body had made for them to feed them.

She took extensive allergy tests and went on a really rough diet for 2 months. At the end they found I think 5 foods she was allergic to that were in her daily diet.

She stopped or reduced eating all of them and has since had a decent glucose level. It is still regularly "high" but it never bottoms out any more, nor has it been above I think 220 since then.

She used to swing like 300 to 400 for highs and I forget the lows, but they were low enough to put her out of action.

So yeah, believe your doctor or whatever - because on some things they are right. But for some reason I don't think diabetes is looked at properly from the standard medical perception.

Oh for crying out loud, this isn't a conspiracy. All you need to remember is medical doctors are not nutritionists!

Diet and lifestyle have long been regarded as the MAIN causes of type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is almost always preventable, often treatable, and sometimes reversible through diet and lifestyle changes. 90% of people who develop this disease are carrying around excess body fat, which is the number one risk factor.

Saturated fats contribute to insulin resistance, the cause of type 2 diabetes.

Everything else that has to do with the disease is just a symptom. Doctors, and other medical professionals want to treat the "symptoms", not solve the problem.

a reply to: Skorpiogurl

I don't know if it is conspiracy, and I do think that alot of doctors are moving more into the prevention areas of thinking about it. But I also know that just like any human being, doctors have flaws and that means that some of them are on auto pilot in their thoughts about diabetes.

More worried about giving out medication than prevention.

Then again, a doctor can preach till the cows come home to some people about prevention and they will do nothing to change their lifestyle.

There are no perfect answers, just the willingness of the patient or the doctor to jump on their problem and see if they can or cannot do anything about it.

a reply to: Fools

I somewhat agree with you. But I also feel that 80% of our doctors don't get paid unless they prescribe a med or make a referral. They are not trained to find the root cause, they're trained to treat the symptom and refer to a specialist... and later treat the symptom of the meds they prescribe and so on and so forth.

Let me explain something. The medical community used to think Stress and Eating Bad Food caused Stomach Ulcers. Then they found that a Bacteria was causing it. But for decades they blamed their patient instead of doing their job. Do you see how the ENTIRE Medical Community can be wrong about something?

So they can pretend Diet and Lifestyle are the MAIN Cause of Type 2 Diabetes, but that doesn't Cure anyone. Exercise isn't a Cure - it's just mitigating the symptoms. Changing your Diet isn't a Cure - it's just mitigating the symptoms. And they and you are pretending it's a Cure. Lack of Exercise is a symptom of something else. Something they and you are IGNORING. Don't put the cart before the horse. These Doctors have to fix something BEFORE we can get the exercise we need. 29 million Type 2 Diabetics aren't getting better because the Doctors aren't doing that.

I can't stand store frosting. I learned when making homemade cinnamon rolls to add a little sour cream in with the sugar and cream cheese to buffer the sweetness. My wife likes the sweet stuff, most times the sweet is tied to fructose, glucose is not really the tangy sweet taste. We use pure cane sugar when baking and for coffee and whatever. No beet sugar and rarely do we consume the high fructose corn syrup or aspartame. Neither of us like the taste of aspartame. Deer eat lots of fructose in the fall to build up fat for winter.
