How would you know your blood glucose levels are 'perfect'?
What's your fasting blood glucose level (BGL)?
How would you know - you haven't had it tested recently & you don't even own a $30 BGL meter!
Measure your levels every 5 mins after a meal & throughout the day.
The results on a graph would be very syurprising to most.
Typically, high carb diet = High Peaks for extended periods of time = high sugar environment = Glycation = BAD BAD BAD
Maintain a low & stable BGL = minimizes work for pancreas, less insulin = less Glycation destructive effects
Plus your small size has a lot to do with it.
A 'poor' diet doesn't adversely affect you as much unlike a bigger person

The WFPBD that I eat is not calorie restricted. I eat as much as I want whenever I want and I'm never feeling deprived the way weight loss diets make you feel, because my diet is nutrient dense. That means I'm fully nourished, unlike the average junk food, meat, cheese addict who keeps craving more because they are literally mal-nourished.
I've maintained an ideal weight for the entire 6 years I've been on it (I'm 5'5" and weigh 120-125) without any special effort (no calorie counting, I just eat whenever I'm hungry).
My glucose levels are perfect, as are my calcium, protein, vitamin D, B12 and all the other things that we plant-eaters are gonna die from a lack of, according to the meat/dairy industries.
Clearly you know nothing about diabetes & adverse effects of high carb diets & GLYCATION/GLYCOSYLATION
The body doesn't distinguish between high/low glycemic, refined, sucrose, fructose, glucose. Everything gets broken down into glucose in the body
= GLYCATION = BAD
No. You can't "cure" diabetes - just like you can't cure Alzheimers.
It's a dgenerative condition. You can only control the symptoms.
Not unless you get a new pancreas AND replace all the body molecules cells, neurons destroyed by GLYCATION (as a result of carbs/high blood sugar envirnment)
Or get a new brain to replace all the lost neurons (Alzheimers)
Get it?
Plus with diabetes most of the time you're not aware of it, you can't feel it - unlike Alzheimers or a heart condition.
Most are unaware until & unless they see a doctor to get diagnosed.
Or until it's so bad they get another condition as a result of it when they do a BGL test.
Diabetes = weakened immune system
Quote from NoDoji:
Adult onset diabetes is cured in 2-4 weeks with the diet I eat. And it's caused by the Standard American Diet of refined carbs, and too much fat from meat, dairy and oils. Eliminate those toxic items and you're health will be restored.
You are confusing cause & effect.
He was on a high protein/low carb diet & got run over by a bus?
So, eating a high protein diet gets you run over by buses. WTF?
So your conclusion is a high protein diet caused the tumor?
No. There is no relationship between the two.
You lot don't get it.
All the spurious correlations you come up with.
The fact that he was DIABETIC in the FISRT PLACE - means it was ALREADY VERY BAD & TOO FUCKING LATE!! -
Diabetes = weakened immune system = more susceptible to other diseases (cancer etc) = shorter lifespan
It's a red herring to think b/c he suddenly started on a protein diet, that was the cause of tumor. Whatever what he ate, diet he was on didn't matter!
The only common link was that they all had DIABETES = BAD
They were ALREADY predisposed or more susceptible to getting other diseases eg cancer, pmeumonia, kidney disease etc, as a result of their diabetic weak immune system.
Generally, young, strong, healthy people don't get these diseases.
It happens (to non diabetics) as they get older, often over 40, as their immune system gets weaker.
In short they were living on borrowed time (sorry).
Of course some felt better. They went from a cheetos & soda diet to a plant diet. Clearly that's an improvement. Not disputing that
Pancreas (which produces insulin) is like an air con unit, once it's worn out, unless you replace with new one...you can only "control" the blood sugar level (temperature) to a manageable level.
That's why everyone is "pre diabetic" - live long enough & everyone will get it eventually (b/c your pancreas will wear out or your body becomes so desensitized to insulin)

What Causes High Blood Sugar And What Harm Can It Do To My Body?
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/DiabetesOverview/story?id=3843485
Now high blood sugar levels over the long term, lets just say years, that can lead to the
classic chronic complications of diabetes, eye disease or what we call retinopathy that leads to blindness, kidney disease or nephropathy leading to kidney failure necessitating either dialysis or transplantation, and nerve disease or neuropathy which commonly leads to amputations.
In addition, poorly controlled diabetes over the long term can also contribute to heart disease, along with inadequately controlled cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

Quote from NoDoji:
I watched several friends restore their health with this diet and watched two friends' health decline rapidly on the high protein low carb diet (plus my own cancer/arthritis/asthma, GERD experience after nearly 4 years on that diet).
One friend developed type II diabetes and went high protein low carb. Within a year he had to undergo surgery for a brain tumor, followed a second surgery when the tumor came right back in 6 months. He's now blind and still has diabetes despite his belief in the claims of this toxic diet. The other friend developed a leukemia after 2 years on the diet that's been linked to consumption of processed meats (sandwich meats).
Insignificant in the grand scheme of things
No good how good cholesterol reading is for someone with cancer, kidney problems, Alzeimers arising from loss of neurons (all increased incidences due to weakened diabetic immune system)
Ask the Dr to measure the state of your immune system..
There is no measurement or test.
But immune system is probably the most important thing after the brain function
Good proxy is BGL meter reading. All other things equal, the one with lower BGL has better immune system (less deterioration)
Best thing to avoid onset of diabetes is a low blood glucose level environment = low carbs
Glycation only occurs in high sugar environment ie when blood glucouse levels are high.
After eating carbs = high blood sugar
Carbs = Sugar = sugar-rich environment = GLYCATION = BAD BAD BAD
(Good carbs are greens for fibre)
It depends on HOW MUCH, and HOW MUCH TIME blood glucose levels are high.
Naturally over years & years the effect is cumulative - which is why Type II diabetes doesn't occur overnight. It's due to years & years of abuse (mainly poor diets)
Glycation a process that results in an abnormal bond between sugar and protein molecules and between protein molecules themselves.
This abnormal bond results in a sticky molecule, very difficult to break.
Glycation is, by the way, also involved in hardening of the arteries, called arteriosclerosis, causing heart disease, hypertension, strokes, kidney disease and other arterial diseases.
Quote from NoDoji:
My average total cholesterol is 130 and my ratio of LDL/HDL is, in the words of my physician, "the best ratio I've ever seen in my 20 years of practice".
Do your own research
That's a funny one. Until I mentioned GLYCATION, you never even heard of it - despite having so much faith & doing so much research on plant based diets (NOT)
I'm not here to convince anyone
You're the one with diabetes (still).
The fact that GLYCATION is dsetroying you from the inside + accelerated aging due to AGEs (look it up) is not my concern
Do some people need a fucking peer review study to show that jumping out of a tall building is bad for you??
Carbs = Sugar = high blood glucose environment = GLYCATION/GLYCOSYLATION = destroys molecules/cells/neurons =>
Diabetes = weakened immune system = BAD BAD BAD

Diet, Glycation, and Autism: The Shocking Effect
http://www.byebyecarbs.com/diet-glycation-and-autism-the-shocking-effect/
You still don't get it: diabetes = weak immune system. Mainly arises from years of abuse (glycation/glycosylation)
It means your immune system is already severely weakened, more susceptible for attack by diseases that young, strong, healthy people don't get: cancer, cardiocascular disease, heart disease, Alzheimers, pneumonia, diabetes etc..
No-one ever DIES from diabetes itself (other than hyperglycemia).
It's OTHER DISEASES that kill you off - b/c of the weakened immune system (from diabetes) can't defend against these diseases..
It's like jumping out of a tall building.
No-one ever dies from the jump itself - it's the impact from the ground itself which crushes your body organs.
