Greetings. I had good glucose control for quite a while. (A1c 5.2)


Lately my readings have been creeping up. I assumed it was my liver

sabotaging me through the night, releasing glucose as I slept. My last

A1c was 7.1. I refuse to accept that.

Ellis: {You are absolutely right. You should assume that you are
diabetic, and take it from there. That means: you should
eat very low carbohydrate, and high protein, and low fat...
ie, chicken, fish, beef, and vegetables, very little or no
fruits, very very little beans and nuts... and everything else
is NOT good.

Dr. Bernstein would not even allow a little fruit, but
"according to Ellis" you can eat a little fruit if you
eat it very slowly, so it does not raise your blood
glucose. That way you will get the benefit of the vitamins
and enzymes that you get from fruits. But it is very
difficult to eat something that is delicious, slowly...
so better, stick to the vitamins and enzymes from vegetables.

See my table, HbA1c to glucose conversion table, to see
what A1c is equivalent to: "horrible" or "deathly" according
to my "glucose theory of aging"... take it or leave it at cost,
but that's what it is...

Where do I start to get where I belong?


Ellis: {Get a glucose meter, and start to test your blood glucose
before and after breakfast, lunch, and supper... I recommend the
Freestyle glucose meter by Abbott, or the Accucheck by Roche...
write down your results in a notebook... study the carbohydrate
thermometer, and try to eat VERY COLD on the Carb Thermometer....

Test the 7 different categories of the Carb Thermometer, so you
will convince yourself which groups of foods you can eat
and which you cannot eat, or should not eat, or can eat only
very little... I truly recommend that you should study my
pages, Using Lantus, and Using Insulin, which will revolutionize
your blood glucose levels as compared to metformin or other
oral medicines, probably giving you excellent results very
soon. There is nothing for you to be afraid of... you will
not get hypoglycemia if you follow the simple rule: ALWAYS
EAT SOMETHING whenever you take a dose of insulin. And never
take a lethal dose, etc.

Read my pages, print them out, and give a copy to your doctor
and tell him you want to use insulin.

The only thing I've been using in the way of pharmacueticals
is 'Prandin' (repaglinide). My GP and I discussed insulin at
my last visit, so access to that won't be a problem.

Ellis: {Good. He's a good doctor. - Ellis}


Also, how does HGH work into this? I've been taking an HGH
precursor, but I didn't do an IGF-1 before I started. It has
however darkened my hair and given me better nights' sleep.

Thanks for your time. Jim


Ellis: {Growth hormone is another, separate hormone, and your
body probably needs it also... You have to get your blood
glucose controlled, which I am sure you can do if you are
serious about it (ie, goodbye desserts, goodbye spaghetti and
goodbye cereals... Goodbye rice and bread and potatoes and
chocolate cake, goodbye junk foods, and goodbye sugar...

Hello chicken, hello fish, hello vegetables... you can
live perfectly well with these fine foods. In fact, you can
eat at Italian restaurants, and not miss spaghetti and raviolis
if you order chicken cachiatorre, or fish parmegianno, etc...
and you won't miss the junk foods at all...)

So... get your glucose controlled every day, 24 hours a day,
and take your growth hormone, and check your blood glucose...

THEY SAY that growth hormone causes diabetes, and THEY SAY
that growth hormone raises your blood glucose, and THEY SAY
lots of things... but HGH cannot cause diabetes if your blood
glucose is controlled, and it cannot raise your blood glucose
if your blood glucose is controlled... so don't listen to
what anybody says... Control your blood glucose and only
believe the glucose meter.

HGH precursors are good, but they are the Minor Leagues...
if you got results with HGH precursors, just wait until you
try the Real Thing... authentic injectible growth hormone...
There is no comparison with precursors. I have tried
precursors too, and they were o.k. for when I took them
but I would never stop taking injectible growth hormone and
go back to precursors after I have seen the difference.
