If the sodas were diet sodas, containing Aspertame, he was asking for trouble.
my friend eats a lot of junk like this, trying to eat cheaply
he recently had an infection below his knee that would bothering him for days so he went to an urgent care center
his blood sugar was 500
I have been schooling him on food, like explaining basic food groups and stuff, like carbs, proteins, fats, just for that reason, because he’s getting older now and can’t just eat anything
so they told him he’s got type II diabetes
the biggest thing that pushed him over the edge probably was that he was drinking 4-10 sodas every day
Quoting: Catseye i don’t remember if they were diet or not because I told him it doesn’t matter, any carbonated water, soda, gatorade, powerade, these all have a very low ph, like 3
they creat acids in your body and mess you up, aspartame will make it worse but I told him no soda, period
now he’s off the soda and I think his body will normalize and he will get over this diabetes episode since it hasn’t gone on for too long
but they have him on blood lowering medication now, so I told him he’s going to have to be extra careful, as his body recovers, it’s going to lower his blood sugar back to normal
and the blood sugar lowering drugs will lower it even further, so he has to make sure it doesn’t get too low
I hope he gets through this, he is really stubborn
I told him about checking his feet, too
that happens a lot down here, people losing limbs from diabetes, because they are ignorant as hell
