No. Case #1: He was out camping and active. Sitting on your ass, in front of a computer all day, means no activity + stress...and that contributes to the high blood sugars. Simply setting up a tent will lower blood sugars. Case #2: Walking/running without any equipment is going to run your blood sugars down much faster. "Assisted walking/running" (treadmill) will not, and I would love to know what that person's blood sugar was before getting on the treadmill to begin with, and how much of an energy drink was consumed during both tests, as well as what that person ate hours before AND how much insulin was taken, as well as WHERE the insulin was injected. If the treadmill was turned up, and it was an intense workout...then adrenaline was created, probably too much, and that will bring your blood sugars up. Playing basketball at a VERY high level raises my sugars, then they plummet an hour or so later. Adrenaline is sugar in the blood. I'm going to stop right there...because the paragraph above pretty much explains why all of this is hilarious to me. If there was any outside interference due to "dirty electricity" relating to blood sugars, it would be consistent with all T1 diabetics. You have to understand just how insulin works, and how the pancreas operates, to figure that one out. I work all morning on my computer...and my blood sugars do not move unless I'm really stressed (and then, they elevate). At night, I'm playing basketball, and they will lower significantly. Now, with that as a constant (at least for me, given my routine...not everyone does that), I can take an insulin shot in the same exact spot (say, my leg), and that insulin shot does not work as effectively because of lack of absorption. ALREADY, I have no idea what's going to happen with my blood sugars. Then, consider the difference between eating carbs, and eating protein, for breakfast. Significant. For some people, a piece of candy (let's say two Starbursts) will elevate sugars quite a bit. For me, very little change, doesn't matter if I'm by a computer or running at the park. I love the Case #4 study, too...funny. So, she admits that the blood sugars actually decreased significantly while in the hospital, around dirty electricity. That's because those sugars were controlled by an increased amount of insulin. So what happens to this 12-year old when he gets home? His blood sugars fall even more...and do you want to know why? It's the same reason mine did: I started moving around. She even stated he was taking MORE insulin, which is funny. Eventually, I wasn't in a hospital bed for five days, being "regulated" by diabetes specialists. My bedroom was upstairs, and I was FAR more active in my second and third weeks of being home (because I was less nervous about my insulin)...which led to even more low blood sugars. When a hospital gives you a specific amount of insulin to take, they do it while you're on your back, at your least active point. Once you get home, you have to decrease every dose, or eat much more. It's that simple. He had more sugar pills (whatever those may be)? Sure he did, because his blood sugar was dropping to very low ranges at any given point of the day. Normally, diabetics don't eat sugar pills...they control their sugars by diet, insulin, and exercise. If your blood sugar is consistently good, you use protein to keep it at a normal range, and carbs (food carbs, from meals and snacks) to keep them from falling. This lady didn't even pronounce diabetes correctly near the end of her video. She didn't consider ALL factors that control blood sugars. She talks about brittle diabetes (which few people have, by the way)...but that's exactly what I have, brittle Type 1 diabetes, and as a person who has been "case-studying" for 19 years now (since I got this when I was 10), I'm pretty sure she's full of shit.1 point

Not a problem. Once you're established, and I find some time to set up an affiliates page (or a link system on the board), we'll talk. Best of luck with your site.1 point

We have dropped all affiliations over time, for many reasons I really won't bother getting into (has to do with our hack a few years ago, and about 200 total spam PM's over the last year). However, I have planned on adding new affiliates for a while. As of now, though, I don't have a page set up for affiliates, nor do I have requirements (ex. how long a board has been up and running). The requirements are specifically placed to assure us that we aren't touching base with a site that has broken away from another affiliate of ours, one that encourages spamming, has a history of ripping ideas/images/names, etc. It brings me to my sole question, though: what relationship do you guys have with HN? I noticed a handful of members came from there. I removed it from both the FB and Twitter accounts within two minutes, lol.1 point

I don't know. If Boston goes in healthy (and yes, I realize Bosh missed the first five vs. BOS), with Bradley in there and Pierce not limping around, and Ray Allen not playing absolutely horrible (since it will be Jason Terry now)...Boston can beat Miami. I'm very curious to see just how much they expect to get out of both Fab Melo and Jared Sullinger, but not only that, they now have Courtney Lee, who will provide more defense at the two.1 point

Well, I actually figured that Houston would be the third team, and the Magic were going to get a lot of assets from the Rockets (Bynum going to Houston), but that didn't exactly happen. I'm shocked that Orlando didn't go that route OR just take Drew. I just had a gut feeling D12 would end up here, though, from the start. Again, though...we still gave up Bynum. He's fully capable of putting up 20/11 for the rest of his prime, maybe even better scoring numbers...so it's not like we gave up Walton and McRoberts. If you consider the fact that Howard wanted out, we gave up more than Miami did for LeBron and Bosh combined. I understand the circumstances are a little different, but still. That's not saying Orlando wasn't robbed, though...but if Drew went to the Magic (instead of Philly), the trade wouldn't have been as bad as people think. He's not a proven superstar, but his ceiling is a productive franchise player.1 point
