(Atacand is belongs to the group of ARB). My GP agreed that. My GP also said many and most of the diabetes patient also on that. Atacand is for the prevention of kidney failure. I just wish to know is that true? Are you all diabetes sufferers on ARB or Atacand? What is your doctor said?

I'm not sure if you're addressing someone specific when you typed "you have stated..." You're correct that exercise can help keep your blood pressure in check, but you have the wrong idea about thyroid "converting energy"... it doesn't work that way. The thyroid produces hormones, T4 and T3... The hormones are what controls metabolism, heart rate, body temperature and other functions.

s a kid and even his endo says that they are teens, will not make the best food choices and just need to make sure they are taking insulin to cover the carbs. Maybe his meal bolus or basal amounts of insulin need to be tweaked? Could he be forgetting to take his insulin, or not taking it at the right time? I'm asking this because back int he fall, my DS had his b.g.'s all over the place. Part of the prob was that he was "remember late" to take insulin for what he ate.

Where does this fall in eating disorders? I do this all the time. I know it is gross, but is it dangerous in any way? I have read that stimulating insulin and not swallowing the food can cause diabetes. Is this true? Because I have never heard of one person developing diabetes from chewing and spitting food. Wouldn't chewing and spitting food be better than binging and purging?

My husband is a very big 66 year old man, but very overweight, and NOTHING he does makes him loose weight. He is diabetic as well. He consumes less food than I do a day, and I am not overweight. I believe this could be metabolism somehow, but, doctors have checked thyroid. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated. No one can seem to be able to help him.
