Socalsurfer: I haven't been diagnosed, I've been trying to do everything possible to get my BS down but it's never below 100 , When I wake up in the morning it will be 120-135, I do avoid sugar as much as possible. I've read Dr Neal Barnard's book along with Wheat Belly, I have started to see adds on TV about Statin side effects that cause people to become diabetic, I was on statin's for a while until the side effects forced me to stop taking them. ( My cholesterol was crazy high ) At one point my cholesterol was 360. I was 25 years old, in perfect shape, I had a 9% body fat at that time. I'm still in great shape for 50 years old, I will run 800 to 1000 miles this year. I'm trying to figure out if the higher BS could cause ED problems... If I'm not taking helper med's it's a no GO! Tri-Mix, Cialis, Viagra, Levitra. they all work.... Tri-mix is a life saver!!!! But I still think something is wrong not being able to get a good hard erection without helper meds?
Another great book is: Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution,... his story is amazing.
AND!! Track Your Plaque: The only heart disease prevention program that shows how to use the new heart scans to detect, track and control coronary plaque. (You can get a scan for 100 dollars that will tell you if you have any plaque, plus how much plaque!)
It can save your life!!!!! I had mine done last year, it showed 0 plaque ?? after years of High cholesterol.
