I never claimed to be an expert in science. I said that I got A+s in
biology. Diabetes is a very complicated thing. I did say that I have that
Joslin book on it. There are over 300 variances of it. And there is much
we still don't undersand.

Of course! But how are they tested for diabetes? I was given a random
finger stick once. Dr. told me that I had diabetes then backtracked and
said that he never said that. Then incorrect testing (fasting finger stick
and 24 hour urine collection) confirmed what he said, one month later. But
I did in fact have diabetes. I was just unwittingly controlling it with my
diet. And was also on a thyroid med that I needed not to be on. Thyroid
problems can cause elevated or low BG if left untreated or not treated
properly.
How many normies are going to go to the Dr. and get a random finger stick at
2 hours after eating? I'm sure it could happen. But at least in this
country the normal test for diabetes is the OGTT. Unless perhaps a random
finger stick is above 180 or 10 in your terms.
I'm sure that Drs. and scientists have had to use normies as their control
group when doing various things. So they would know what normie numbers
are. Was that Dr. that I mentioned a person who knows what he is talking
about? Dunno. He was wrong on other counts.
