I think i have to up my Lysine intake to 6g but any tips how to increase Lysine intake without taking so many 500mg pills? I already have trouble with taking so much Vit C using a water bottle. It starts to irritate my stomach and throat.

cylon75 wrote:Hi,
I am a type 1 diabetic and not very good controlled but also not very very bad. My total cholesterol is quite high 8,2mm/l , HDL 1,71 mm/l and LDL 6,7 mm/l. This has been very high as long a I can remember until I used statins. Even before I was a diabetic.

I use openaps to control my sugar levels
sugar levels but mostly the levels are driven by outside factors like temperature.

I have watched, and rewatched the documentary THE SCIENCE OF FASTING... https://youtu.be/t1b08X-GvRs (Which is enlightening, and ends with a bombshell - the discovery that fasting not only compliments chemotherapy, but can be a strong anti=-cancer therapy without chemo.)
My strategy is to start with a 12 day fast. According to the documentary, glucose levels go to zero in 2 days.
I'm 6 days into a tea fast and my glucose isn't getting much better:
2. day - 83
3. day - 72
4. day - 100
5. day - 65 (at last..so I thought)
6. day - 101
What could be the reason for such glucose reading while fasting for days?

Hope it helps in your understanding of what you saw in your glucose levels while fasting!

Could have been that my liver got really excellent in gluconeogenesis, or after the fast a kind of refeeding-syndrome causing complete metabolic havoc.

You’d be brain dead in about 10 seconds as your neurons deplete the last of their very-small stores of ATP. It would be extremely difficult to revive you. However, before your blood sugar levels reached zero, most of your physiological functions would have already shut down—enough that blood sugar levels don’t actually reach zero because cells cease to function before that point. Deadly low blood sugar levels are really low, usually (your electrolyte status makes a big difference in how your body responds to low sugar levels) below 20 mg/dl (1 mmol/L), but there are deadly low blood sugar levels that are above zero.

BTW; did you ever get a HbA1c blood test at or near the end of your fasting experience??

The patients had been encouraged as part of their treatment to supplement AA. Self-reported daily intake varied from 0 to 20 g/day. The plasma AA levels ranged from 11.4 to 517 µmol/L and correlated well with the reported intake. Regression analysis of their GHb and plasma AA values showed a statistically significant inverse association (eg, each 30 µmol/L increase in plasma AA concentration resulted in a decrease of 0.1 in GHb).
A 1 g oral dose of AA can raise plasma AA to 130 µmol/L within an hour and such doses at intervals of about two hours throughout the day can maintain ~230 µmol AA/L.5 Similar levels could also be achieved by use of sustained-release AA tablets. This AA concentration would induce an approximate 0.7 depression in GHb.

When you were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes I’m going to assume you were over the age of 15 years?
You also state that your insulin requirements vary widely because you go from high to low to good on a steady dosing!
This leads me to believe that you have either type 1a or 1b or LADA diabetes.
Has your doctor ever verified a subtype to your diagnosis?
Have you ever had a full thyroid panel done?
Have they or you checked for ketoacidosis? Urine check strips for ketone’s!

This is a FDA approved device and has proven itself as a better method.

Statins Given for 5 Years for Heart Disease Prevention (With Known Heart Disease)
83 for mortality
In Summary, for those who took the statin for 5 years:
Benefits in NNT
1 in 83 were helped (life saved)
1 in 39 were helped (preventing non-fatal heart attack)
1 in 125 were helped (preventing stroke)
Harms in NNH
1 in 100 were harmed (develop diabetes*)
1 in 10 were harmed (muscle damage)
*The development of diabetes is one such unanticipated harm found in a recent large study and it seems likely therefore that this applies to the data above, although this is a best guess.
