Worrying...
about Deb's visit today with our doctor "Doogie Howser". He is very concerned her type 2 diabetes is worsening and she may need to start doing insulin injections.
He also mentioned looking into either a stomach staple or stomach band if push comes to shove to lessen the stress her body is suffering through from the affects of the diabetes, and Debbie does not want to undergo another surgery. If she can drop 4 lbs a month (12 lb.s by her June appt.) by changing her lifestyle/diet the threat of surgery and insulin injections will lessen - So pray for her ok? I dont/won't ask for anything else this goddamned week.

Good luck, Brian.
 I'll pray. 4 lbs a month is definitely do-able, so I'm sure she can accomplish that. Don't forget about unrefined coconut oil. I found this little snippet, take it or leave it of course. Bless your family, Brian. "There is one fat that diabetics can eat without fear. That fat is coconut oil. Not only does it not contribute to diabetes, but it helps regulate blood sugar, thus lessening the effects of the disease. The Nauru people consumed large amounts of coconut oil for generations without ever encountering diabetes, but when they abandoned it for other foods and oils the results were disastrous. As mentioned earlier in this chapter, coconut oil puts less of a demand on the enzyme production of the pancreas. This lessens the stress on the pancreas during mealtime when insulin is produced most heavily, thus allowing the organ to function more efficiently. Coconut Oil also helps supply energy to cells because it is easily absorbed without the need of enzymes or insulin. It has been shown to improve insulin secretion and utilisation of blood glucose.15,16 Coconut oil in the diet enhances insulin action and improves binding affinity compared to other oils.17,18 The Journal of the Indian Medical Association has reported that Type II diabetes in India has increased as the people have abandoned traditional oils, like coconut oil, in favour of polyunsaturated vegetable oils which have been promoted as "heart-friendly." The authors comment on the link between polyunsaturated oils and diabetes and recommend increasing coconut oil consumption as a means to prevent diabetes.19 One of the consequences of diabetes is a lack of energy. This is due to the inability of cells to get needed glucose. Without the glucose to power cellular activity, metabolism slows down and the entire body becomes tired. Exercise has been recommended as a means to help diabetics control blood sugar. One of the reasons exercise is beneficial is that it increases metabolism. A faster metabolic rate stimulates increased production of needed insulin and increases absorption of glucose into cells, thus helping both Type I and Type II diabetics. Another advantage of increasing metabolism is that more calories are burned. Coconut oil raises metabolic rate causing the body to burn up more calories and thus promote weight loss. Yes, you can actually lose excess weight by adding coconut oil to your diet. The MCFA in coconut oil are sent directly to the liver for conversion into energy and not into body tissues as fat. (See Chapter 10 of "The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil" for more details on the weight-loss effects of coconut oil). If you are a diabetic or borderline diabetic, consumption of most fats should be avoided. Coconut oil, on the other hand, is different. Because it helps stabilise blood glucose levels and aids in shedding excess body weight, it is probably the only oil a diabetic should eat. " I'm wondering how the hell I lost my favorite yoga tape. I only have one TV, it's stationary. It's not like I was out weeding the yard with the damn thing. growlmumblegrowlwhatthef*xgrowl.
