  It is a crime that CGMs are not prescribed/approved by insurance for PRE diabetics.

  Holy Cow, my mind is REELING! This is so salient to why treating type 2 diabetes I&apos;d SOO difficult. &nbsp;I treated T2D for over 50 years and was always perplexed by the outcomes of recommendations that I KNOW my patients were faithful to and not always effective. This makes me want to come out of retirement and open a dedicated T2D clinic because we are now entering the &quot; Star Trek&quot; reality of &nbsp;individualized treatments. I just cannot tell you how excited I am about this. I am going to conduct the grape/potato ratio experiment on myself with my CGM. I am not diabetic but now I have some greater insight into the weird CGM curves I have been seeing. I am seriously over the moon about this information. &nbsp;Thank you!!!!

  I&apos;m a metformin nonresponder and doctors never want to talk about it. They never believe how restrictive I keep my diet to keep my A1C at a &quot;normal&quot; level. &nbsp;Metformin does absolutely zero for me. &nbsp;I was on the maximum dose. &nbsp;I finally stopped taking it and stopped discussing it with doctors.

  I was able to reverse type 2. &nbsp;My reverse I mean lowing my A1c from &nbsp;12.0 (extermely high) to 4.6 (non-diabetic). &nbsp;Reverse dose not mean I can go back to a crap diet, &nbsp;it just means &nbsp;My sugar isn&apos;t spiking after meals. &nbsp; &nbsp;I did not have a CGM. &nbsp; I had a finger prick glucose meter. &nbsp; I tested mornings, &nbsp;I tested 1 hour after meals, &nbsp;I tested after exercise. &nbsp; I got to know my body and how it reacts to carbs and sugars. &nbsp; My goal was to keep the 1 hour after meal number glucose as low as possible. &nbsp; &nbsp; I bought 200 test strips and tested anytime I was curious. &nbsp; &nbsp; I got my diet and exercise to a point where my Dr.&apos;s &nbsp;could not believe I was diabetic. &nbsp;My new dr&apos;s kept retesting me, as they didn&apos;t believe. &nbsp; &nbsp; I was on insulin at first, &nbsp; then when I saw my glucose number were good after meals, &nbsp;I stopped insulin. &nbsp;My numbers were still good without insulin. &nbsp;Now don&apos;t take any diabetic meds. &nbsp; &nbsp;My advice: &nbsp;Don&apos;t eat processed foods. &nbsp; Shop the meat/fish section, &nbsp;the veggie/fruit section, &nbsp;and the dairy/cheese section. &nbsp; Be careful &nbsp;of salad dressings and catsup and other &nbsp;sauces. &nbsp; &nbsp;Walk after meals. &nbsp;Test, &nbsp;Test, &nbsp;Test. &nbsp;Make it a game to keep that glucose number as small as possible.

  This is mind-blowing:<br> &quot;I think we&apos;d once discussed though there was a I think this was back in like 2015 so I can&apos;t believe it&apos;s been a decade but there was a a letter<br>Personalized Medicine: Tailoring Treatment to the Individual<br>out in Nature and it cited a figure that the top 10 grossing drugs only help<br>between 1 in 4 and 1 in 25 I think people who take them and the reason that&apos;s so important is because what&apos;s<br>considered now like gold standard is the human randomized control trial and what people need to understand is that is yes<br>a randomized control trial but it&apos;s on a heterogeneous group of people so you can get a statistically significant result<br>while helping the minority of people. And then what you end up with is a large proportion of people where, you know, to<br>take your example, they&apos;re being given the frontline drug even though it&apos;s not helping them at all. And you can imagine<br>where that ends us up. Huge problem. Exactly. We&apos;re all We&apos;re all different. And I don&apos;t really care what happens to the average person. <br>I care what happens to me when I&apos;m trying to get my glucose under control.

  Thank you for caring about older adults and their struggles. Too often, media focuses only on young people, but you take the time to talk about issues that seniors actually face. That kind of respect is priceless

  Suggest both of these two &quot; experts&quot; refer to Philip Randle . The study he conducted in the 1963. Called the &quot; Randle Cycle.&quot; &nbsp;or more correctly The glucose fatty acid cycle. And Josephs Krafts work &nbsp;glucose and insulin responses.

  For every women over 35 to 40, the very first thing to test and treat is hormones. The best diet in the world is not going to fix the lack of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone that is the biggest driver of depression in mature women. Once that issue is corrected, everything else is a lot easier; changing your diet, exercising, etc.

  This discussion is top tier! I am thrilled to see that more research is being done to pinpoint and address causes instead of effects. The ailment that is prevented needs no cure. I think the topic of &quot;Thin Diabetes&quot; would make a great deep-dive video. I am really looking forward to part 2.
