This is an extremely powerful message on diabetes. Although I had Exit in mind, diabetes actually touches all of us and it is worthy of watching through to the end.

Thanks,Blackribbon for sharing this. I was unaware that thin people can also have insulin resistance.

One day,after I had lunch,my blood sugar had dropped to 59. I had walked about 2 miles before I had lunch,and 2 miles after I had lunch. That was on my day off. By walking 4 miles a day,5 days a week,I probalby would not have to take insulin in ordedr to keep my blood sugar from being too high. Since I have to work 8 hours a day for a living,I do not have the time to walk 4 miles a day.

Pregnancy hormones can cause insulin resistance too...but they usually go back to normal after giving birth.

I had heard of the pregnancy thing.

Yes,I have heard of gestational diabetes.

Actually, all pregnant women have a bit of insulin resistance...only some go to the point of gestational diabetes.
