This comment celebrates one of the greatest breakthroughs in diabetic history ... largely as a result of the REGARDFULLNESS of Dr. Hans Michael Dosch ... Dr Dosch's breakthrough appears to signal the beginning of a substantial potential reversal of any use of HYPOglycaemic drugs such as GM insulin and a return to 'freedom' for all Diabetics. Dr Dosch's breakthrough really should be discussed, on a daily basis, at www.thediabetesblog.com. Here's a link to this astounding association between DISTRESS & diabetes mellitus...

"...diabetic children who spend a great deal of time watching television had a tougher time controlling their blood sugar..."

Why are Diabetics so hooked on HYPOglycaemic drugs such as GM insulin?

Many Humans ie Children & Adults 'comfort eat' when they are DISTRESSED...

Researchers RJ Wurtman and JJ Wurtman state: "...many patients learn to overeat carbohydrates (particularly snack foods, like potato chips or pastries, which are rich in carbohydrates and fats) to make themselves feel better. This tendency to use certain foods as though they were drugs is a frequent cause of weight gain, and can also be seen in patients who become fat when exposed to stress, or in women with premenstrual syndrome, or in patients with "winter depression," or in people who are attempting to give up smoking. (Nicotine, like dietary carbohydrates, increases brain serotonin secretion; nicotine withdrawal has the opposite effect.) It also occurs in patients with normal-weight bulimia...".

(1) Allie's blog states: "...The study looked at 538 children with an average age of 13 who were affected by Type-1 diabetes..."
Please be REGARDFULL to this: the abstract of the original study and note that PC use apparently had zero DISTRESS on any of the Children aged 10 to 16 years BUT tv did apparently DISTRESS the Children...

(2) Allie's blog states: "...Type 1 diabetes is caused when the body cannot make insulin, which converts sugar from food into energy..."
Please be REGARDFULL to this: Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed when: (a) the body's pancreas, via its beta-cells, appears to make less insulin [a hormone that 'pumps' excess blood glucose out of the blood circulation and into cells, which have insulin receptors, especially FAT cells]; and (b) the body's cells simultaneously become resistant to allowing blood glucose to be pumped out of the blood circulation [probably so plenty of glucose can stay in the blood and so be transferred, as needed, to DISTRESSED zones of the body especially the brain; and (c) the body's pancreas, via its alpha-cells, makes more glucagon [a hormone that 'revs-up' glucose production / distribution, from the liver, to rapidly increase blood glucose to supernormal levels] because the body is usually 'DISTRESSED' at that time.

(3) Allie's blog states: "...While TV-viewing is often accompanied by snacking, the researchers didn't examine diet or physical activity..."
Please be REGARDFULL to this: PC & TV use is often accompanied by snacking AND the researchers didn't examine diet or physical activity BUT they did directly compare Childrens' use of PC's with TV's. So Monica Joyce appears to have mis-interpreted this increasingly interesting, type 1, research. No correlation between HbA1c and the use of PC was observed ie substantially ZERO correlation between HbA1c and the use of PC was observed. So a more likely explanation, therefore, is that Children are being DISTRESSED by certain TV programs [eg scary ones] and their adrenaline, glucagon and blood glucose are all rising to help provide extra glucose fuel, from the liver, to help the body deal with that psychological distress [especially in the cells which are 'extra-stressed' eg the brain]. AND because the current worldwide practice, suggested by most Doctors, appears to have type 1 Children increase their 'FAT swelling' GM insulin doses, in response to elevated blood sugar [rather than reduce how often They eat],

WHAT CURES DIABETES...

(A) Maintain basal insulin [eg type 1 exogenous / type 2 endogenous] to prevent ketoacidosis [pH > 7.2].
www.jped.com.br/conteudo/07-83-S11/ing.pdf

(B) Eat Less Often ... specifically ... Eat JUST clean water [zero% carbohydrate] between meals & eat ONLY when your blood glucose level, following your previous eat, has naturally reduced to your chosen baseline blood glucose level [eg as related to the relative fuel demands of your particular activity level] and consciously helping your body learn this habit, of 'supply & demand' glucose control, makes your cure sustainable.

(C) Await daily recovery, sustainable, in respect of your increased reduction of relative HYPOglycaemia ie increasingly efficient reduction of the cause ... increasingly efficiently facilitates the gradual recovery your beta cells & insulin sensitivity ... ie gradually towards the total sustainable cure [days/weeks/months for type 1a & type 1.5 ... or ... hours/days/weeks for type 1b & type 2].

WHAT PREVENTS DIABETES...

Eat Less Often ... specifically ... Eat JUST clean water [zero % carbohydrate] between meals & eat ONLY when your blood glucose level, following your previous eat, has naturally reduced to your chosen baseline blood glucose level [eg as related to the relative fuel demands of your particular activity level] and maintaining this habit, of 'supply & demand' glucose control, makes your prevention, of diabetes mellitus, sustainable.

AND because the current worldwide practice, suggested by most Doctors, appears to have type 1 Children increase their 'FAT swelling' GM insulin doses, in response to elevated blood sugar [rather than reduce how often They eat], distressed diabetic Children often have considerable challenges with 'unchosen' weight gain [ie fat rather than muscle].

(4) Allie's blog states: "...They could've been supernatural powers or perhaps all that time in front of the TV welcomed supernormal blood sugars .
Please be REGARDFULL to this: They could've been supernatural powers or perhaps all that time in front of the TV welcomed supernormal blood sugars. BUT if Carol Anne had been a type 1 Diabetic her 'carers' would likely have met Carol's distress with a higher GM insulin dose and, in due course, 'pumped' more glucose into Carol's insulin resistant body.

Given the new understanding, that should be FULLY in the Public arena , with thanks to and care of Dr Dosch ... "Post-traumantic TV syndrome", days or weeks after a traumatic movie, may well be an identifiable and avoidable source of distress and further help in PREVENTING ever increasing numbers of type 1 Diabetics.

WHAT CAUSES DIABETES...

Eating too often [for that particular Individual at that particular period of their life] causes relative HYPOglycaemia aka HYPOglycaemic distress and HYPOglycaemic distress causes [especially in type 1] a reduction of beta cells/activity and/or [especially in type 2] reduced insulin sensitivity aka insulin resistance aka carbohydrate resistance aka carbohydrate allergy aka glucose mediated inflammation aka glucose fever [which is an acute protective response that protects brain related cells from HYPOglycaemic distress]...
