I think there are non-food factors that contribute too, some in food, some outside of it.Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-37035985848244804172012-01-20T16:21:11.341-05:002012-01-20T16:21:11.341-05:00It is not the butter that did her or anyone in.

It is not the fat but the carbs, I'm afraid she will set back the truth about diabetes and food twenty years.michael plunketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028277816327625622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-86995903054767706382012-01-17T06:22:38.854-05:002012-01-17T06:22:38.854-05:00Paula Deen to discuss health rumors on TODAY Tuesd...<a href="http://bites.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/13/10150344-paula-deen-to-discuss-health-rumors-on-today-tuesday" rel="nofollow">Paula Deen to discuss health rumors on TODAY Tuesday</a><br />http://bites.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/13/10150344-paula-deen-to-discuss-health-rumors-on-today-tuesdayBixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-78088473954128881592012-01-15T07:14:31.023-05:002012-01-15T07:14:31.023-05:00Usually, by the time someone is diagnosed, there i...Usually, by the time someone is diagnosed, there is concomitant loss of function of beta cells. At least that is what I have been taught.<br /><br />Here's one study:<br /><br /><a href="http://qjmed.oxfordjournals.org/content/96/4/281.full" rel="nofollow">Deteriorating beta‐cell function in type 2 diabetes: a long‐term model</a><br />http://qjmed.oxfordjournals.org/content/96/4/281.full<br /><br /><i>"There is consensus on the primary role of secretory dysfunction from the time that hyperglycaemia is established."</i><br /><br /><i>"Regardless of the particular aetiology of a patient's metabolic dysfunction (whether from genetic predisposition, dietary excess, or other causes), once insulin insensitivity is established, a common bio‐regulatory dysfunction may be responsible for precipitating the fully developed stage of type 2 diabetes mellitus, characterized by rapid and apparently irreversible loss of pancreatic insulin production capacity."</i><br /><br />Here's a 3-minute video from The Endocrine Society:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2XXfiESQBg" rel="nofollow">Beta Cells In Type 2 Diabetes</a><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2XXfiESQBgBixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-496151738996954542012-01-15T00:02:15.567-05:002012-01-15T00:02:15.567-05:00Type 2 diabetes is the result of insulin resistanc...Type 2 diabetes is the result of insulin resistance, not failure to produce insulin. Many people with type 2 diabetes have abnormally high levels of insulin in their bloodstream.
