Your mate on the program also mentioned, reversing diabetes: I am going to tell him now that his idea is a myth!
How can you reverse what is genetic? Diabetes is cause by a damage gene, can this guy or anybody in Dominica repair a damage gene; in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a human?
I mean it does not cost much to talk, but trying to give people false hope is not a good thing, some believe if they indulge in vigorous excises it will reverse it, all that happens is if a certain amount of glucose in your system exercise will take it down, but it will instantly return, because when the body is tired it appears hungry, and so the body releases glucagon which immediately brakes down into carbohydrate, and back into glucose.
When people do’t know they believe anything they hear. I did not stay long enough to complete, so I do not have a medical degree, I am a medical school dropout, that caused me to learn something about the disease.
Why almost all of Wesley people have diabetes?

So, Mark, I listened to you talk abut your lifestyle change to help you cope and manage, the effects of diabetes; I also heard your mate, mentioned nutrition: Whereas nutrition educationally is simply the studying food and the effects on health, and growth; body nutrients are again substances found in food that human bodies use to grow, survive, and reproduce.
Fact is because one diet works for one person, dose not mean it will work foe everyone, it is a battle, it’s a struggle, one with the help of an endocrinologists have to find what works for them. Proteins are also essential, for growth and development, they help the body repair damage tissues, carry oxygen, digest food, and regulate hormones.
After my stroke, which caused some damage to my brain, I was disoriented, went and drove confused, hydroplane on the freeway at about 90 miles per hour, almost killed me and me modam!
My equilibrium did not return until indulging in a particular protein, a combination of different
“Fact is because one diet works for one person, dose not mean it will work foe everyone,” (FE-DT).
I don’t even know how to correct what seems to be my own words above: Hahahahahahahah!
Nevertheless, the point I intended to make is this; whereas Mark mentioned his use of fat, in his diet: I am bewildered about that. Reason is whereas indulging in some sugar, will not cause harm; fats are indeed lipids, and the effects of the consumption of lipids by people with diabetes can indeed hasten their demise.
I submit to the pod-cast that every diet do not work the same for everyone.
What may keep Mark alive, may kill everyone else, including yours truly!
Doctors in Dominica gives prescribe metformin hydrochloride tablet which is
Generic to (Glucophage) to diabetics.
That is almost no longer prescribe in America; and one of the reasons is that it causes a lose bowel, the idea is that it will help lower Hemoglobin A1c, but again it does not help everyone who uses it.
Mark, I’m not going to try to contradict, you only because I know you personally, dating back to our toddler days in Wesley. I relate to your sufferings from diabetes, since I have been living my entire life with diabetics.
Not only that, my entire family on both mother and father side and in-between many has the same problem, so far it has damaged my heart caused me to have had three heart surgeries, and in the process suffered a stroke!
One of my concern is your choice of fats; I suppose in preference to other oils, I don’t know your formula, but fats are actually lipids which are very bad for diabetics.
Whereas some “sugar” may not cause one glucose level to increase, outrageously, lipids will quickly brake down into carbohydrate, which immediately leads to glucagon (a hormone formed in the pancreas which promotes the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver).
I am not going to detail that, leaving it to the experts in Dominica to cipher that out!
