My great uncle? it is more than obvious... He is the taller lankier but big boned type Explorer with the small, tall, head and cut chin. Doing it his way? You got no idea... he decided to learn not to read for one. Father is Basque as well.

I am resilient to diabetes as well let me tell you... HOWEVER I feel pretty confident that zero table sugar and really low carbohydrates is good for me. The problem is lamb is too hard on me (liver probably I am guessing since the Mozzarella does so much).

I do fantastic with turkey.

Eating less carbohydrates (complex ones) makes my legs feel tired or sore. I think it is a good sign now though; it shows my adrenals are recovering. I use to think it was bad so I ate more when I was following similar guidelines for food. Now I think it is the right route.

DOS is 24, for heaven's sake.....he's got a few yrs before he needs to get diabetes...

My son’s friend is 25 and has diabetes.

alternate nostril breathing
hope you feel better soon

Is that as simple as I read it? Breath through one nostril, switch???

Sort of... you do it like 4-6 times then switch to doing the opposite and repeat that 4-7 times.

It has little to nothing to do with the actual air flow or nose. It is just the state that it puts you into. Deep breathing or concentrating on breathing does similar things. In Yoga it is common to inhale, pause, exhale and repeat a lot; it works well in poses for stretching.

there are even utube videos on how to do it......

Today I have been light on the carbohydrates, no sugar, and no wheat. I have been going to the bathroom a lot but I think I was retaining water pretty bad. The ring on my hands is loose now and gets tighter the more carbohydrates I eat, it seems.

My fingers also overlap more on wrists, like it seems obvious that my frame is not even medium sized. My skin seems tighter as well, and I am smaller all over despite the fact that I am still overweight. Considering how much muscle I have I am borderline ectomorph, probably ecto-meso, without the fat on me. I am a far fetch away from mesomorph or endomorph. Weird. Well whatever I am going to continue to concentrate on protein (minus lamb for now), very low on carbohydrates, and not stop eating mozzarella cheese!
