Rod Larkin reports on Type 2 Diabetes


TYPE 2 DIABETES-
On Feb 11, 2016, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Knowing that type 2 diabetes is nearly totally diet and weight related, I knew what steps I needed to take. #1. Lose weight. #2. Change my diet and eating habits. #3. Exercise. I made up my mind that day that I was NOT going to be a victim of poor choices and decisions of my own. I get fed up seeing all the type 2 diabetes drug commercials on TV. There is no reason anyone with type 2 diabetes needs to go down that slippery slope because over time, year after year, the condition gets worse which leads to more and stronger meds that eventually lead to insulin injection. Type 2 diabetes is preventable and I am here to tell you--- it is reversible.
I swung into immediate action that very same day. My results as my doctor put it today--- are stunning. I just had my 3rd set of blood work done in the last 90 days last week and saw my doctor today. In February my A1C was 8.9. It is now 5.5. I have only been taking 1 500mg dose of metformin daily (the lowest possible dose). Today, my doctor said I can quit taking the metformin and said--- "as far as I am concerned, you are now non-diabetic, and you did this in just 3 months!"
Since January 4, 2016, I have lost 48 lbs and my BMI has gone from 31.90 to 25.00. My diet and eating habits have changed for good. It is now effortless for me to eat the way I do and I enjoy my new diet "lifestyle". I eat great foods I like and enjoy and I eat LOTS of food--- a rarely am ever hungry. I was much more hungry before-- the way I used to eat, so I snacked all the time between meals and in the evening and now I don't which is a major reason why the weight has come off and my blood sugar has dropped dramatically.
Many people want to know, and ask questions, about what I did, what changes did I make to my diet, what supplements do I take if any, etc. In order to be able to help as many people possible with this information, I have shared my story and everything that I have done in a video presentation called

Wandering the Marshall Islands

Some Scuttlebutt from the Marshall Islands We have been out and about for the past 4 months visiting some of the atolls in the Marshall Islands, and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a good hurricane/cyclone hideout.  Checking out the Likiup atoll. The first place we all go is to Majuro, which is the check in port for yachts coming mostly from the south. But don't let yourself get stuck here, and miss the other atolls. I know how easy it is, there is a Tues. night yachties night out, and it seems hard to get away when Tues is coming up soon. Also shipping boat parts and even coffee in from the US is relatively cheap because of the US postal service here. So many distractions that keep us all tied to buoys. But drop the buoy and go exploring. it is really worth it. The atolls are all really different. They have had a variety of influences. Woje and Maleolap in particular played a large part in the wars, so there are sunken ships and planes to

Shortfall on Pension Plans

Image
Gary was reading me “Thoughts from the Frontline” by John Mauldin this morning while we were sitting in the cockpit and I was drinking my coffee. Normally I don't pay 100 % before coffee, but a couple of things hit me while I was listening. John goes on to talk about the USA cities and states primarily and the pension funds that have been promised to all government workers, and how they have all based their interest on their funds on 7% returns, and further with a lot of facts to back this up states that they are getting close to 3% return on their bonds and stocks. So the money has to come from somewhere, and it seems to be tied back to the taxpayers. Either the property owners or the state taxes. If you wish to read the entire article it can be found at http://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts/promises-promises-pension-promises Normally I don't get too involved with the economics papers, sort of the lesse faire attitude, that what will be will
