Internal Diabetes BullSh*t Filter Switch Is Flipped

Internal Diabetes BullSh*t Filter Switch Is Flipped
I couldn't sleep after last nights twitter cage match with Dr. "Shit For Brains, Diabetes Bible Cure" @Doncolbert . I was enraged. Apparently, he didn't agree with my post/assessment of his snake oil Bible Cure book.
I was on the road all day today and am just getting back on the Twitter/Blog track.
Instead of writing about what happened last night, I thought I'd just let you read it.
And big shout out to Ellen (@CureT1Diabetes ) for DMing me with his twitter info!
Shoutouts to all who tweeted with the Bad Dr., you guys ROCK!
BIG PROPS to Becky , Kerri , &Sarah for writing fantastical posts about the Bad Dr. Colbert!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Since your making $$ of my disease, please answer my question. Does your"Diabetes bible cure" cure Type 1 diabetes???
@diabetesalic @DonColbert You say in your book "regardless of which type of diabetes you have, God can heal either 1 w/out effort or difficulty."
@diabetesalic @DonColbert @diabetesalic Kelly, I have seen hundreds, if not thousands of miracles. I believe you can be healed of anything if you just ask God.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert So please, I beg you, give me the name of a person with type 1 #diabetes that God has cured.
@DonColbert @diabetesalic Type I can be controlled through diet, exercise, and supplements. I have seen few cases of it being cured.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert You stated The "diabetesbiblecure" could cure eithr type regardless. Here, this refresh your memory. http://tinyurl.com/28vjd9z
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Not real clear here. U R telling @CureT1diabetes that u cant cure t1, but here you say u can: http://tinyurl.com/28vjd9z
@DonColbert @diabetesalic Kelly, results speak for themselves. If you do have Type I diabetes, try out some of the recommendations in the book.
@diabetesalic ATTN: DOC'ers, feel 2share your thoughts w/ @DonColbert author of the DibetesBibleCure , Wrote about it on Mon. http://tinyurl.com/28vjd9z
@diabetesalic D-O-C:Share your thoughts w/ @DonColbert,author of the DibetesBibleCure, Wrote about it on Mon.@curet1diabetes is http://tinyurl.com/28vjd9z
@diabetesalic @Sugar_Nova @curet1diabetes tweeting with @DonColbert , the author of diabetesbiblecure - think I might hav mentioned it on Mon& Tuws
@diabetesalic @Doncolbert Nobody prayed harder than my parents or my sister 4 a cure for t1diabetes.My sister still died. Did they not pray enough?
I @diabetesalic disagree @DonColbert. This girls parents prayed http://texasfred.net/archives/1039 I believe you are spreading false hope to million
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Please, Don, give me the names & contact #'s for these cured type 1's. And the name of their endocrinologists
@diabetesalic @DonColbert I've been a type1 for over 30 years.Im in great health,I eat right& have conversations w/God daily-we're buds. Still a diabetic
DonColbert @diabetesalic God did not kill your sister Kelly. God loves you and your sister as much as he does anyone.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don, I never, ever said that God killed my sister, are you on crack? I said she prayed! Of course God loves us
@diabetesalic @DonColbert What does the FDA have to say re: these suppliments? Send me the info, along w/the names & contact #'s of the cured t1 diabetics
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Im offended that you said, I said that God killed my sister. You continually say if you pray heard enough- GOd can cure anything
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Can you send me the "results" and or studies that you speak of? Seriously, my readers would LOVE to know about them.
@DonColbert @diabetesalic Kelly, false hope would be telling people with type I or type II that taking a shot every day is the best answer. It's not.
diabetesalic BS! RT @DonColbert @diabetesalic False hope would be telling people w/ type1/II that taking a shot every day is the best answer.It's not.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Your full of crap Dr. I do not produce insulin- the area of my pancreas that makes it is destroyed. We need insulin 2live.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert How would you suggest I get the insulin my body no longer makes ?? Drink it?
@diabetesalic BS! RT @DonColbert @diabetesalic False hope would be telling people w/ type1/II that taking a shot every day is the best answer.It's not.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Your a Dr. What went wrong here? http://bit.ly/bYGWSu Unfortunately that poor child's insulin was withheld
How much $$ do you make from the supplements/herbs and book sales Dr? How much is spent on research? How much goes to charity?
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Glad you believe that,I believe god is w/me everyday &the miracle he's performed on me is giving me an internal bullshit radar
@diabetesalic @DonColbert God has given me the tools 2live a healthy&happy life -even if I do have a broken pancreas. He/She has given me many giftst
DonColbert @diabetesalic Would you like me to tell you that's God's best for you? Because in my heart, I believe God can perform a miracle for you.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert I would like you to tell me that you are making a shitload of money preaching a cure to millions. How many actually get cured?
@diabetesalic DonColbert I want you 2tell me what you cleared last year on your Diabetesbiblecure book sales &then I want you 2tell me how many u cured
@diabetesalic @DonColbert While your at it, I want you to tell me that she didn't pray hard enough to cure my sisters and I.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Dr, how many folks got sick with your methods? What are the numbers in that particular area of the study?
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Tell me Don, what aren't the millions of people with type 1 & type 2 diabetes saying wrong in their prayers for a cure?
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don, I've introduced thousands of people to your book this past week. Please, tell them what they are doing wrong
@diabetesalic @sstrumello @DonColbert Re: t1's staying on insulin- That's not what you say in your book Don.
@diabetesalic Please anwer my question @DonColbert. This girls' parents prayed, so why did she die? http://bit.ly/bYGWSu
@diabetesalic @talesofrachel @sixuntilme HE's still not answered our questions.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Since your now backtracking on your books claims, will you be reimbursing all the people who bought your book?
@diabetesalic @DonColbert So Don, how much$$ do these miracle pills cost?? Are they FDA approved? Will my insurance cover them? Yeah, I didnt think so
DonColbert @diabetesalic God gave us medicine to avoid these kind of tragedies.
@diabetesalic @DonColbert No, scientists gave us medicine Don. God gave them the brains.
@diabetesalic @talesofrachel is 1 of the most healthy people /t2's I know @DonColbert. She eats whole foods,exercises,vitamins,etc. Still,she has diabetes
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Yes indeed,Dr Banting& Dr Best gave millions & millions of people with diabetes life! And yet,you still say insulin is over RXd
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don, do you supplements help to grow new islets of langerhans?? Cause if they did, that would REALLY be something!
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don, I was checking out your supplement pricing and packages. Many cost more than insulin
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don,miracles happen every day.Lotus grows out of mud, Boston won the 2004Series,Banting&Best discovered insulin& saved millions
@diabetesalic @DonColbert Some can smell bullshit a mile away Don. I feel sorry for the many that can't& buy into your miracle cure.
@diabetesalic AND.....SCENE.

@diabetesalic Scientists gave us the medicine,God gave them brains RT @DonColbert: @diabetesalic God gave us meds 2avoid these kind of tragedies.
@diabetesalic Seriously, Im done now. Friends, goodnight, godbless, take your bloodsugar. Then; eat, pray, bolus. Wash, rinse, repeat.

It Just Goes To Show You, "It's Always Something!"



TO Quote the Comedy Goddess and wonderful Writer Gilda Radner:
"It's Always Something."
She was right on target, but she kept on going. She found the funny, embraced the laughter, stayed positive and always made lemonade out of lemons.


First, I was able to turn a potential negative into a Positive: To make a long story, somewhat shorter - I had a meeting with myself a few months ago, and me, my Ego, and my Id (feel free to call me Cybil) decided that I needed to incorporate more whole foods into my diet. I've commented on this before.
I (we?) came to this conclusion for many reasons.
1. For the first time ever, I had a slightly high cholesterol reading - it freaked me out big time!
2. I wanted to continue loosing weight. Whole foods (fruit, veggies, whole grains, legumes, etc) are high in fiber and as you know dear Diabetesaliciousness reader, fiber is our friend. Especially if your a diabetic. Because when diabetics eat foods that contain fiber, we get to subtract the fiber grams from our carb count. Which equals less insulin intake, less calories, and of course, a healthy colon! Fiber also makes us feel fuller quicker.
3. Eating whole foods make me feel better - plain and simple. When I eat more WF's, I feel better in general.

Less "chemically" then processed foods, I feel more alert and less sluggish.

How did I do this? Really easy. First, I literally ate an apple a day. Sounds cliche and really silly, but it's true. Apples are high in fiber, Fuji apples are really tasty and are the perfect size and would put a smile on most any Diabetes Educator's face. I also found that 1 apple a day, could easily turn into two. I'd eat one mid morning with some cheese (carb/ protein combo) and then have the same thing around 3:30 in the afternoon.

I also discovered Greek yogurt with flaxseed, honey and frozen wild blueberries was a delicious and "fiberlicious" way to start the day! It also tasted really good with pineapples and cinnamon. Won't even go into the whole cinnamon blood sugar connection, we've all heard about it.

For dinner, I made sure that I had a serving of broccoli( calcium content is the most of any veggie besides seaweed and is great for your bones) and legumes (yes, it's true...beans really are good for your heart. The reduce inflammation in your arteries) regardless of what the main course was. Sometimes, broccoli and beans are the main course.

I've also become quite the fan of cooking with turmeric, which is supposed to be good for all sorts of ailments including; blood sugar and inflammation issues.

Dark chocolate and I have become even better friends then I ever imagined we could be.
We hang out daily and I can't say that I miss milk chocolate.


The results.

At my next Dr's appointment , I had lost 4 lbs and my cholesterol went down by 20 points.

To date, those 4 lbs have turned into 9 and my cholesterol is still normal.

Now, for the "I still got issues OR It's Always Something Part".

My #*&%ing feet are killing me! If I could just get this Metatarsalgia (which is not diabetes related, but pretty damn painful regardless) taken care of, I'd be good to go for another 100,000 miles. Any suggestions? Surgery is just not something I want to do and I start Acupuncture on Friday. I am a long distance walker (I used walk up to 20 miles a week) and I haven't been able to do high impact aerobic exercise since Metatarsalgia came into my life.

I miss my long walks! Swimming laps in the pool is just so boring. Has anyone ever suffered from Metatarsalgia? How did you deal with it?? Any advice?

If I......

If I......
If I were pasta, I'd be served with diablo sauce.
If I were a cupcake, I'd be vanilla coconut.
If I were a band, I'd most likely be a "bittersweet symphony", with a rocker edge and copious sides of Mama Cass, The Beatles, Crowded House, Prince, Lincoln Park, Annie Lennox, madonna, GaGa, Nellie McKay, Mary J. Blige, Pink, Foo Fighters & The Beastie Boys thrown in for good measure.
If I had a hammer, there's a good chance I'd hit the nail on my hand instead of the nail in my hand - And you bet your sweet ass I'd curse like a sailor!
If I were a dancer, I still wouldn't be tiny and my performance would most definitely turn into a comedy of errors.
If I had a dog, I would love it very much.
If I were a movie, I'd most likely be a dramady.
And If I had wings, there's a good chance my feet would never touch the ground.

If I were to meet you on the street, there's more than a good chance that I'd give you a hug.

Except when you have the nerve to send me a blog comment that blames people for their diabetes and then you don't even have the courage (or the cojones) to sign your name.

So I mark your comment as spam and immediately write you a response & post it on my blog since your nom de'plume is Anonymous.

And it reads a little something like this.
####

Dear Anonymous -
If you're going to leave an offensive comment about my people on my blog, than have the courage to leave your name and stand behind your idiotic and offensive words.
Don't blame people for something you obviously know so little about.
Don't point fingers and say that it's "their own fault" while preaching magic elixirs and cures, stomach stapling and self esteem.
Don't try and divide my family up into types, because while we're all part of different diabetes family branches, we're still all part of the same diabetes family.
If I could meet you in person, I'd tell you all this and then some.

I'd tell you that until you walk in a person with diabetes shoes (regardless of the type,) you have no right to make character assignations or pass judgement on people living with diabetes.

You're not God, nor are you the guru of all things pancreatic and the master of metabolism & all things autoimmune related.
You're just some schmuck with an opinion.

I'm not blaming your lifestyle choices for being a complete moron, so I'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying to convince me that other peoples choices are what's causing their diabetes.

Every person with diabetes has a different story to tell.
How dare you assume to know those stories without bothering to get to know the people behind THEM.

Then I'd tell you why I chose NOT to publish your incredibly offensive comment is because the very act of putting your diabetes myths into print (for all who Google to see,) perpetuates those diabetes myths & stereotypes - And that's just not how I roll~

I'd end it by saying that DIABETES IS NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL DISEASE & that you need to stop perpetuating diabetes myths and stereotypes and take the time to learn the diabetes realities!

And then I might say something like: BITE ME.

And then I'd wash my hands of you.
